Your AI.
Right beside you.
Stop switching to AI. Bring AI to what you're already doing.
AI stays beside you while you work
Screen-capture exclusion
Visible to you.
Invisible to them.
Keep your AI workspace in your view while you share your screen. Invoodu's window, popups, dialogs and menus stay out of supported screen-sharing and recording views.

Why leave your workflow to use AI?

Don't Steal Focus
Interact with Invoodu without pulling keyboard and mouse focus away from your active app.
Local by design
Your AI workspace stays yours.
Conversations, notes and images are stored locally on-device. Voice transcription is processed on-device, so the audio isn't sent to a cloud transcription service.

Your way.
Customize the Dock or app icon whenever you want. Invoodu remembers your choice across restarts. Use the menu bar or system tray to show, hide, collapse, restore or quit.

Getting started
1
Open it
Invoodu runs from the tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) — it doesn't sit in your taskbar/Dock by default. Click the tray icon, or use the global show/hide hotkey, to bring the window up from anywhere.
2
Pick a provider & model
Choose your AI Source and Model from the dropdowns, and enter your API key once — it's remembered after that.
3
Start chatting
Type in the message box and hit Send. Each conversation is saved to the sidebar so you can jump back into it later.
Everyday features
- H
Invisible during calls & recordings
Invoodu's core trick: the window never appears on the other side of a Zoom/Meet/Teams call, in a screen recording, or on a shared screen — visible to you only, automatically, with nothing to turn on.
- S
Screenshots
Use Screenshot to capture the full screen, or Screenshot + Crop to grab just a region — either attaches straight into your conversation.
- V
Voice-to-text
Click the mic icon to transcribe your own voice and/or "the other side" of a call. Everything is transcribed on-device — audio never leaves your machine.
- N
Notes
A separate scratchpad next to your chats — just start typing; it autosaves as you go.
- P
Staying out of the way
Check Always on top to keep the window above everything else. Don't steal focus keeps keyboard focus on whatever app you were using when the window appears.
Keyboard shortcuts
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Show / hide the window | Global hotkey (set in the app) |
| Take a screenshot | Ctrl / Cmd + . |
| Screenshot + Crop | Ctrl / Cmd + , |
| Collapse / restore the window body | Ctrl / Cmd + / |
Tip: the collapsed window shows a small reminder of the restore shortcut, so you're never stuck wondering how to bring the body back.

Quick-start guide
The condensed version of everything on this tab, laid out for printing or keeping open beside the app.
Download PDFInvoodu's whole reason for existing: an AI assistant window that only you can see — the person on the other end of your call, or anyone watching a screen recording, never knows it's there. On top of that, it's also a full assistant — chat, notes, screenshots, and on-device voice-to-text, summoned on demand with one AI provider and model you choose.
Invisible where it counts
Invoodu never appears on the other side of a Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams call — or in screen recordings, or on any screen you share to a website. It stays fully visible on your own display the entire time. You see it. No one else ever does.
What it does
- ✦
Chat
Your choice of AI provider/model — multiple saved conversations, kept in a sidebar.
- ✦
Notes
A separate, autosaving scratchpad alongside your chats.
- ✦
Screenshots
Capture the full screen or crop a region, straight into the conversation.
- ✦
Voice-to-text
Transcribes your mic and/or "the other side" of a call, processed on-device — nothing leaves your machine.
- ✦
Always-on-top
Plus a global show/hide hotkey, so it's never buried behind other windows.
- ✦
Runs quietly
Lives in the tray/menu bar rather than cluttering your app switcher.
Mac vs. Windows — the differences that matter
| Behavior | macOS | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| App icon | Dock icon can be changed independently | Title-bar icon is fixed; changing it also updates the taskbar icon |
| "Don't steal focus" | Keeps keyboard focus on whatever app you were using when the window appears | Repurposed as "Show in taskbar" — toggles whether the app gets a taskbar button |
| Default visibility | Runs as a background/menu-bar-style app | Tray-only by default — no taskbar entry unless enabled |
Everything else — chat, notes, screenshots, voice-to-text, always-on-top, hotkeys, privacy/capture behavior — works identically on both platforms.
