OpenCues: open-source tool that runs AI inline wherever you type
OpenCues is an open-source tool that lets you call an AI model directly inside whatever you're typing, without switching to a separate chat window. Type "4 + 4 = _" and the blank fills in with "8"; type "hello world translate to japanese _" and it turns into the Japanese translation on the spot.
Mid-way through composing a message, typing "draft an email to my landlord asking for a rent reduction _" gets the email written right there in place. It works inside terminal tools like Claude Code, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI, in a regular shell, in Chrome, and system-wide on Windows.
