What's in the free download.

Everything in the free download, from how answers are made to the small things that save you a click. No subscription, and no limits from us.

What sets it apart

Answers in the right shape.

Big questions get a team of AIs and a short answer while they work. Numbers come as charts and plans as checklists. And one mode tunes all of it for each message, within what you want to spend.

Dynamic output

The short answer first. Then the whole picture.

A big question gets a straight answer in a few seconds: two to four sentences with only what's certain. Then an outline appears, and each part is researched, written and checked by its own AI, all at the same time. A part shows up once it passes its check, and nothing you've already read is changed.

  • One AI for a quick question, up to eight for a report
  • The whole answer takes about as long as its slowest part
  • Each part keeps its own searches and sources, open them to see how it was made
  • Off, Auto or Always in Settings, or for one message from the send arrow

Should we switch our 1970s house from a gas furnace to a heat pump?

Yes, if you choose a cold-climate model and seal the attic first. With the state rebate, a winter costs about what gas does.

Smart elements

Charts, checklists and calculators, inside the answer.

Mosaik draws them itself, in its own colours, as the answer arrives. Numbers to compare become a chart, steps become a checklist you can tick, and a question about money becomes a calculator you can change. When the answer needs one more detail from you, it asks with a few buttons.

  • Bar, column, line, area, donut and scatter charts, with values on hover
  • Ticks are saved with the message, and calculators update as you type
  • Tabs for answers that differ by setup, like Windows, Mac and Linux
  • Long answers can be laid out as a document, ready to save as PDF or Word
  • No script from the model ever runs, and anything that can't be drawn stays a plain table or list

Before the move

Smart mode

Two sliders. Mosaik tunes the rest.

Cost sets the most an answer may cost, from Free to No limit. The second slider sits between faster and smarter. For each message, Mosaik then picks the model, how long it thinks, whether it searches, how many AIs work on it and how the answer is laid out.

  • Free models are the default
  • A model that's known to do a job badly never gets that job
  • Each answer's details say what Smart picked, and why
  • Your daily and monthly limits still come first
  • Manual mode puts every setting in your hands, for one message, one chat or all of them

In the free download

A chat app that takes instructions.

Pick the model, write the rules, and change either for a single conversation. Mosaik adds a few quiet defaults of its own so answers read well, and yours win wherever they disagree.

Chat

Fast, and honest about what it's doing.

Answers start streaming straight away. Above each one, a single line says what the model is doing (connecting, thinking, searching, reading a page), then sums up the turn when it's done: "Searched the web and thought for 14s". Open that line to see every step in order.

  • Each chat can have its own model, instructions, temperature and length limit
  • Keep typing while it answers: your next message waits its turn
  • Edit any question or regenerate any answer, or branch into a new chat from any point
  • Scroll up while an answer is being written and the page stays where you put it
  • Half-typed messages wait in their own chat, and in New Chat, until you come back

Versions

Try again without losing anything.

Regenerate an answer, rewrite it or edit your question, and the old one is still there: ‹ 2 / 3 › flips between versions, each with the conversation that followed it. The regenerate button asks the same model again or a different one, just for this answer, and the menu can have it rewritten shorter, simpler or more formal.

  • Select a passage to rewrite only that part
  • The model only sees the version you're looking at

Compare

Three models, one conversation.

Put two or three models over the message box and talk to all of them at once. Their answers sit side by side in the chat, each with how long it took and what it cost. Keep the one you like and the chat carries on with that model. The others stay as versions.

  • From any answer's menu, the send button or the model browser
  • Nothing is asked until you send
  • Each model keeps its own side of the conversation
  • Scroll a column while it's still being written
Three models' answers side by side under the question, dark theme Three models' answers side by side under the question, light theme
Files

Any file in. Real files out.

Drop in a PDF, a spreadsheet, a photo, a recording or a ZIP of code. Mosaik checks what the model you picked can take and sends each file the best way it can. What it can't take, a quick model reads first: it describes the picture or writes out the recording. Ask for a file back and you get one, ready to open.

  • Pictures, PDFs, Office and OpenDocument files, audio, video, archives, code and text
  • Excel workbooks with working formulas, PowerPoint decks, Word files, PDFs, pictures and ZIPs
  • Drop a file between any two words of your message and it shows there as its icon
  • Long pastes turn into a file instead of flooding the message box

Analysis

Ask your spreadsheet a question.

Attach a spreadsheet or a CSV and ask what's in it. The model runs Python over the file itself, so totals, averages and trends are worked out, not guessed. Ask for a chart or a cleaned copy and it comes back as a file in the answer.

  • CSV, Excel and OpenDocument, every sheet
  • Bar, line, scatter, pie and histogram charts
  • Your files are only read, in a locked-down sandbox

Editor

Work on an answer beside the chat.

Open a long draft or a block of code from its menu and it sits beside the chat as a document. Type in it, or select a paragraph and ask for a change, and only that part is rewritten. Answers still stay in the chat unless you open one.

  • Every version kept: the answer, each change, your own edits
  • Copy it or save it as a file

Finding things

Every chat, one keystroke away.

Ctrl K searches every conversation by title and by what was said, and shows the passage that matched. Ctrl P runs any command or switches model, with the shortcut beside each one, and short commands work in the message box itself: /new, /search off, /think high.

  • Chats name themselves after the first answer, and never rename one you named
  • Find in the open chat with Ctrl Shift F
  • Pin chats to the top and file them in folders
  • Ctrl-click to pin, file or delete several at once
  • Export to Markdown or JSON, reasoning included

Quick-ask

Side questions stay on the side.

Select any words in a message, even a line of code, and a small bar appears: Ask, Quote, Rewrite and Copy. Ask it about them and the question goes to a small window next to the passage, along with the recent conversation, so the answer knows the context. Nothing is added to the chat. The main model is told what you asked on the side, so "as I asked a moment ago" still makes sense to it.

  • Ctrl Shift K on any selection
  • Esc closes it; Open as chat keeps it

Memory

It remembers what you tell it, and shows you.

Mention your job, your tools or how you like answers, and every chat knows it from then on. When a reply saves something, a line under it says what, with Undo. Settings lists everything Mosaik remembers, to change or delete. It all stays on your computer.

  • It can look back at your past chats when you mention one
  • Temporary chats aren't kept, listed or remembered, unless you choose to keep one

Ask from anywhere

Ask without leaving what you're doing.

Press Alt Space in any app and a small Mosaik window opens over it, with the text you'd selected already attached. Ask, read the answer, press Esc and carry on. Every question is kept as a chat, so you can pick it up in Mosaik later.

  • Add a screenshot with one click
  • Pick your own shortcut, or keep Mosaik running in the tray

Voice

Answers read aloud.

Any answer can be read aloud from its ⋮ menu, with your computer's voice for free or a speech model for a more natural one. It reads the words and skips code and files.

  • Your computer's voice stays on your computer
  • A bar under the answer has Stop

Context

See exactly what is sent.

Click the context meter to see where the model's memory for this chat goes, and open the exact request if you want it. Long chats get summarized instead of cut off, with the latest messages kept word for word. You choose how hard it squeezes.

  • Always include a message, or leave one out
  • Read, edit or undo any summary

Sharing

Share a chat as one file.

Save a conversation as a web page or a PDF that looks the way it does in Mosaik, charts and all. It's one file on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, so you decide who sees it.

  • Choose whether reasoning, pictures, files and sources go in
  • The page follows the reader's light or dark setting

Import

Bring your chats with you.

Moving from ChatGPT or Claude? Ask either for your data, then choose the file they email you. Every chat comes over in a folder of its own, with its dates, every answer version and every edited question. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

  • The model's thinking comes too, where it was kept
  • Import again later and only the new chats are added

Prompts

Ask the same thing faster.

Save what you ask often in the prompt library, with blanks like {topic} for the part that changes. Type / in the message box and your prompts come first. Pick one, fill in the blanks, and read it over before it goes.

  • A blank can start filled in: {tone:friendly}
  • Keep chat instructions in the same library

While it answers

Keep typing while it writes.

Press Enter while an answer is still being written and your next message waits under it, then goes the moment the answer ends. Send it now, edit it, or take it back. An answer that ran out of room says so, and Continue writes the rest.

  • Working in another app? A notification says when a long answer is ready
  • Add a soft chime, or keep it to a flash of the taskbar

Bigger tasks

Give it a job, not just a question.

Ask for a book outline with a file per chapter, a script that has to run, or notes to sort, and it works through it step by step in a folder of the chat's own, saying what it's doing as it goes. A quick question stays quick: it reads the instructions for its tools only when a task needs them.

  • Up to 100 steps a message, then Keep going
  • Open another chat and this one keeps working
  • Reminders for you, or for itself to follow up later

Styled answers

Laid out like something you'd keep.

A reply can highlight the one line that matters, set dates on a timeline, put key numbers in large type, or compare options side by side with the best one marked. It streams as fast as plain text, in the conversation's own fonts and colours. Chit-chat stays chit-chat.

  • Off, Light, Auto or Rich, in Settings › Answers › Styled answers
  • Text size, spacing and reading width in the same place

Pictures and pieces

Drawings, and anything an element can't do.

Ask for a logo, a diagram or an illustration and the model draws it for you. Save it as a PNG or an SVG. Ask for a small game or a simulation and you get one that works, running in a sealed frame that can't see Mosaik, your files or your other chats.

  • Open any picture or piece large, copy it, or save it
  • Scripts, web fonts and chart libraries can each be switched off
A picture drawn inside an answer, dark theme A picture drawn inside an answer, light theme
Designs

Designed beside the chat.

Ask for a website, an app screen, a poster or a small game and it opens in its own window next to the conversation once it's done. Keep chatting to change it. Every change is a new version, a click apart.

  • Switch between the preview and its HTML
  • Copy it, or save it as a web page

Maths

Maths that looks like maths.

Formulas come out the way a textbook sets them, in a sentence or on a line of their own, in the chat, shared pages and PDFs alike. Right-click one to copy it for Word or LaTeX.

  • Fractions, roots, sums, matrices and the rest
  • Prices stay prices: $5 and $10 isn't an equation

Exact tools

Some questions have one right answer.

Language models guess at arithmetic, letter counts and dates, and they guess wrong more often than you'd think. Mosaik gives every model that can use tools six small ones that run on your computer. They take milliseconds, cost nothing, and the answer shows what went in and what came out.

About the tools

CalculatorExact arithmetic with big integers and fractions, so 0.1 + 0.2 is 0.3. Roots, logs, primes, combinatorics.
Text counterHow many r's in "strawberry", words in a paragraph, where a phrase appears.
CalendarDays between dates, business days, adding months, time zones.
Unit converterLengths, weights, cooking volumes, speeds, data sizes, temperatures and more.
Random picksDice, coins, shuffles and draws from a proper random source.
PythonAnything else numerical, in a locked-down Python with a time and memory limit. It can read your attached spreadsheets and chart them.
Models and spending

Every model, and a firm grip on the cost.

Hundreds of models through one OpenRouter key. Mosaik helps you pick, shows the price of each answer, and won't send a request that breaks the limit you set.

Models

Smart picks, or pick your own.

Smart ranks models by their published scores and prices, so a better or cheaper model is used as soon as it appears. Or choose one model for a chat, keep saved setups in the model menu, and browse every model by price, context size and what a model can do.

  • Change the model for one chat from the button in the message box
  • Reasoning effort per model: Auto, Off, Low, Medium or High
  • Ask OpenRouter for the fastest or the cheapest provider
  • Test checks a model can use Mosaik's tools before you rely on it

Spending

You'll know what it cost.

Each answer shows its model, its tokens and its price. Settings › Cost › Spending shows today and this month, by model and by kind of work, with every recent call. A daily or monthly limit stops paid requests before they're sent, and one switch keeps you on free models only.

  • A $10 monthly limit is on from the first launch
  • A warning at 80% of a limit, once
  • Cached tokens counted at their real, lower price

Settings from a chat

Say what you want changed.

"Make it cheaper." "Use Claude for everything." "Stop searching the web." Ask in any chat, and the assistant reads your settings and proposes the changes on a card under its answer. Untick any you don't want, then Apply, and Undo puts them back. It never sees your key.

  • A setup guide on first launch: key, models, limit, done
  • Tips that appear once, next to the feature they're about
