Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Arguium

Arguium is a desktop AI assistant that floats invisibly on top of all your applications. It provides real-time AI support during meetings, interviews, and everyday work through three input modes: text chat, voice recording with live transcription, and screenshot analysis. The app stays out of your way until you need it — just press a keyboard shortcut to interact.

Yes! The free tier includes 50 daily credits, 3 saved sessions, 3 daily screenshots, and 1 daily session insight. The Premium plan upgrades to 500 daily credits, 20 sessions, 20 screenshots, and 3 insights. You can also bring your own API keys (BYOK) for unlimited usage at your provider’s rates — no credits consumed.

Arguium offers a curated three-tier system per provider. Google Gemini: Gemini 2.5 Flash (Advanced, 1M context), Gemini 2.0 Flash (Balanced). OpenAI: GPT-4o (Advanced, 128K context), GPT-4 Turbo (Balanced), GPT-4o Mini (Cost-Efficient). Local: Any model via Ollama (Llama, Mistral, CodeLlama, and more). Switch providers anytime in Settings > Models.

Press Ctrl+D (Windows) or Cmd+D (macOS) to start recording. Arguium uses OpenAI’s Realtime API to stream your voice through a WebSocket connection, providing live transcription as you speak. Voice activity detection automatically filters silence, and the AI responds in real time. Perfect for capturing meeting discussions or getting help during live conversations without typing.

Press Ctrl+H (Windows) or Cmd+H (macOS) to capture your screen. Screenshots are added to a queue where you can batch up to 6 at a time. Add a custom prompt describing what you need, then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter / Cmd+Shift+Enter to send them all for AI analysis. Great for comparing code versions, analyzing diagrams, reviewing error logs, or getting feedback on UI designs.

Session Insights generates an AI-powered summary of any saved conversation without reopening it. It extracts key decisions, action items, and takeaways, adapting to your active prompt style. One click from the session history panel gives you a concise overview of what was discussed — perfect for reviewing past meetings.

Stealth Mode (Ctrl+B on Windows, Cmd+B on macOS) hides Arguium from screen sharing and recording software by applying a blur overlay. When someone is sharing your screen during a presentation or a call, your AI assistant stays completely invisible to everyone else. Toggle it on and off instantly with a keyboard shortcut.

Yes, with Ollama. When configured to use a local Ollama model, Arguium runs entirely on your machine with no internet connection required. Your prompts, screenshots, and conversations never leave your device. Install Ollama, download a model, and point Arguium to your local server in Settings.

Privacy is core to Arguium’s design. All conversations are stored locally with OS-level encryption. The app runs with Electron’s strictest security settings: sandboxed processes, context isolation, and no direct Node.js access from the UI. API keys are encrypted in your system’s secure storage. Sensitive data like prompts, screenshots, and personal information is never written to log files. With BYOK or Ollama, your data goes directly to your chosen provider or stays fully local.

Arguium has 9 fully customizable global shortcuts that work system-wide. On macOS, replace Ctrl with Cmd:

  • Ctrl/Cmd+Enter — Open chat window
  • Ctrl/Cmd+D — Start voice recording
  • Ctrl/Cmd+H — Take screenshot
  • Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Enter — Send screenshot queue
  • Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P — Focus screenshot prompt
  • Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Space — Toggle window
  • Ctrl/Cmd+B — Stealth mode
  • Ctrl/Cmd+Up/Down — Scroll

Remap any of them in Settings > Shortcuts.

Yes. Arguium detects all connected displays and dynamically switches between them. Drag elements toward a screen edge and the window seamlessly moves to the adjacent display. It handles mixed-DPI setups and automatically adjusts when monitors are connected or disconnected.

Download Arguium for your platform and install it — no setup wizard needed. On first launch, sign in with Google or email to get your free credits. The app starts as an invisible overlay. Press Ctrl+Enter (Windows) or Cmd+Enter (macOS) to open the chat, Ctrl+D / Cmd+D to record your voice, or Ctrl+H / Cmd+H to screenshot anything on screen. Head to Settings to pick your AI provider, customize shortcuts, and configure your preferences.
