Thot Live

Thot is an AI-powered assistant that floats over every app on your Android device. One tap gives you explanations, summaries, drafted replies, and custom AI tasks — all powered by whatever is currently on your screen. Most AI apps make you copy-paste. Thot reads the screen for you. 🤖 HOW IT WORKS • An Accessibility Service reads the visible text from your current app window. • A floating button (overlay) appears over every app — tap it any time. • Choose Explain, Summarize, Suggest Reply, Write for me, or enter a Custom task. • Thot dispatches your request to your chosen AI provider and returns the answer inline. No copy-pasting. No switching apps. No losing context. 🔌 MULTI-PROVIDER SUPPORT Thot works with: • Anthropic Claude (claude-sonnet) — nuanced reasoning, long context • OpenAI GPT-4o — fast, capable, widely supported • Local (offline) — rule-based fallback, no internet required Switch providers in Settings at any time. Your API key stays on your device. 🗂️ WORKS EVERYWHERE Thot activates over Gmail, WhatsApp, Chrome, LinkedIn, YouTube, banking apps, PDF readers — any app on your phone. If there is text on the screen, Thot can help. Use cases: • Compose a professional reply to a tricky work email • Summarise a long article without leaving the browser • Explain a confusing legal or financial document • Draft an SMS or WhatsApp message from a prompt • Ask a custom question about anything you see ⏰ CHRONOMANAGER — SCHEDULED AUTOMATIONS Set up time-based AI tasks that run in the background: • Send an email or SMS at a scheduled time • Trigger a custom AI task on a recurring interval • Chain actions into a lightweight personal automation flow 🔐 PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED Thot requests only the permissions it needs: | Permission | Why | |-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------| | SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW | Draw the floating button over other apps | | BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE | Read visible text from the current app window | | INTERNET | Send prompts to your chosen AI provider | | VIBRATE | Subtle haptic feedback when Thot responds | | SEND_SMS | Optional ChronoManager SMS automation | No location data.

You can opt out in Settings. Thot is ideal for: • Professionals who live in email and messaging apps • Students reading and researching on their phones • Anyone who wants a smart assistant that understands what they are looking at • Developers who want to extend on-device AI into their own apps via BaseThotActivity ⚠️ SETUP NOTE: Thot requires two one-time permission grants on first launch — Overlay (draw over apps) and Accessibility (read screen text). Both are explained step by step in the app. You can revoke them at any time in Android Settings.
