Lida
Stuck? Just ask. Lida shows you how.
Most AI assistants live in a chat box. Lida lives on your screen. It's a Windows desktop companion you talk to out loud: it sees the app you're in and answers by voice. Say "show me how" and it points at the exact button. Say "teach me" and it draws the idea on a live board beside your work. Say "do it" and it takes the steps while you watch, asking before anything risky. Its overlay stays hidden from screen recordings, and it only remembers what you approve.
Hey everyone, 👋
Honestly, Lida started from my own frustration. Every time I got stuck in an app, I'd open ChatGPT, take a screenshot, paste it, read a wall of text, switch back, try something, get stuck again and open another chat. Ten tabs later I still couldn't find the button.
So I thought: why can't the AI just look at my screen and show me?
That's Lida. You talk to her, she sees what you see, and she points at the exact thing to click. No screenshots, no copy-paste, no tab juggling. It feels like an expert sitting right next to you.
She works in three ways:
• Guide: she highlights the next step on your screen, one step at a time
• Teach: she explains the idea on a board beside your work while she talks
• Agent: she does the task while you watch, and asks before anything risky like sending or deleting
The approach changed a lot along the way. At first I wanted her to do everything for you. Then I realised most people want to learn, not just get things done and they want to stay in control. So trust came first: one key silences her and if you grab the mouse while she's acting, she stops.
Lida is in private preview on Windows and she's not perfect yet. I'd love your honest feedback: what's the app you always get stuck in? Tell me, and I'll make her better at it.
Stop searching. Just ask Lida. 🙂
