SwitchAi
Read full descriptionHide full description
SwitchAi is the AI assistant that gets work done. Hand your inbox, calendar and research to an AI agent that asks before it acts, turn long documents and meetings into clear summaries, and get answers from multiple AI models in one app, with no ads. Ask anything. SwitchAi picks a model and an effort level for each request. Prefer control? Choose a model yourself and compare answers. WHAT YOU CAN DO • AI chat and AI assistant: ask questions, brainstorm, plan, translate and get clear answers. • Multiple AI models in one app: switch models for writing, coding, reasoning or speed. • PDF summarizer and chat with PDF: upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT or CSV files and get summaries, key points and answers. • AI writer: emails, essays, posts, captions, rewrites and grammar fixes in your tone. • AI coding assistant: generate, explain and debug code, then run it in Code Playground (Python, JavaScript, Java, C, C++ and Go). • Math solver and homework helper: type a problem or snap a photo for a step-by-step solution. • Ask about images: take a photo or pick one and ask questions about it. • AI agent with connectors: switch to Agent, link Gmail, Google Calendar, GitHub, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Notion, Slack or Outlook, and hand over a task. SwitchAi finds emails, events and files, summarizes them and drafts replies while you watch each step. Nothing is sent or changed until you tap Confirm. • Effort levels: Low, Medium, High or Extra high thinking for harder problems (higher levels on paid plans). • Voice chat: speak your question and hear the answer. • VocalAI audio summarizer: record or upload audio for a transcript, summary and action items. • Memory, a file library for reusing uploads, and PDF export of chats. PLANS AND FREE DAILY CREDITS SwitchAi is free to download, and every account gets free daily credits that reset at 00:00 UTC. Optional Lite, Pro and Ultra subscriptions come with a weekly usage allowance and add more models, web search, every connector, deeper thinking and priority access, depending on the plan. Prices are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. GOOD TO KNOW • Sign in with Apple to start. • The app is in English. You can chat with the AI in many languages. • No ads. • Your messages, files and voice input are sent to AI model providers only to generate responses. • AI can make mistakes.
