Lightning Assist is a desktop text expander that reduces repetitive typing and streamlines workflows across email, documents, chat, and code. You get instant text expansion via hotkeys, AI-powered resource generation and in-place editing, and optional push-to-talk speech-to-text—all within your existing applications.
Key features
Text expansion and resources: Create reusable text blocks (templates, snippets, signatures, boilerplate), assign hotkeys or search by key, and paste with one action. Multiple variations (replacements) per resource are supported. Works in any app: Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Word, VS Code, terminal, and more.
AI Enhance and AI Command window: Generate new resources from a natural-language description (e.g. "professional follow-up email") or edit existing ones. Select text in any app and trigger AI Enhance or open the AI Command window with clipboard content for translate, formalize, shorten, or rewrite—then paste the result back. Rich text from editors like Gmail or Word is preserved where possible. AI usage is metered via an optional AI Credits system.
Speech-to-text (push-to-talk): Optional desktop dictation: hold a key to record, release to transcribe. The transcribed text is inserted right where you're typing in the active application. Works in email, docs, chat, and code editors.
Teams and Company plans: Share resources with your team or across your organization. Team sharing and company-wide libraries keep templates consistent; Company Admin can invite and manage users so everyone has access to approved resources and workflows scale without re-creating content.
Lightning Assist runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. 14-day free trial with full features, no credit card required. After the trial, choose Free (limited resources) or Premium (unlimited resources, AI features, team sharing, Company plans).
