Qwicut – A Desktop App to Turn Any Selection into Intelligence

Qwicut is a new desktop tool that lets users highlight any text, image, or file on their screen and instantly get an AI-generated summary, explanation, or insight — think of it as a universal "explain this" button for anything you see on your computer. It competes with in‑browser AI assistants (like Copilot or Perplexity) but works across all apps, not just web browsers. The product appeals to knowledge workers, researchers, and power users who increasingly rely on large language models (LLMs) such as GPT‑4 or Claude to accelerate reading, data extraction, and decision‑making. The key question it raises: does a system‑wide AI overlay add enough speed and convenience to justify letting an AI tool see everything on your screen?
