Accessibility and keyboard help

MEET AJ

A helpful voice.
A thoughtful approach.

AJ is the assistant inside Jiffy Reach. It helps you understand and use your computer with natural commands, and it runs on your PC.

Controlled beta. Jiffy Reach Beta is for invited testers, not a public stable release. Request beta access · Read feature status and known limitations.

Ask in your own words.

“Hey AJ, what’s on my screen?”
“Hey AJ, where am I?”
“Hey AJ, read this error.”
“Hey AJ, speak faster.”
“Hey AJ, help me find my microphone settings.”

These examples show how you can ask; results depend on the program you are using. The “Hey AJ” wake word is still being tuned and misses fast speech, so Ctrl+Shift+L, push-to-talk and the keyboard command palette always work too.

Local first. AI when useful.

AJ uses local commands and accessibility information before asking an AI model. Its AI runs on your PC with Ollama — free, private, and allowed in Private Mode — and Jiffy Reach suggests a model size that suits your computer. Basic accessibility never needs an AI model. As an advanced option, you can add your own Anthropic API key, paid to Anthropic directly with a monthly spending limit; it is off by default.

    AJ on your PC, or cloud AI only if you turn it on.

Speech & Dictation

Two speech engines (Windows SAPI and OneCore) with verbosity levels. Voice commands, push-to-talk or a keyboard command palette. Dictation into any program with Whisper on your PC — nothing you say is uploaded. Choice of microphone.

The “Hey AJ” wake word misses fast or casual speech; use Ctrl+Shift+L or push-to-talk. Windows’ own dictation engine is not used.

AJ, the assistant

Runs on your PC with Ollama — free, private, and allowed in Private Mode. Describes the screen, answers questions, and suggests a model size that suits your computer.

AJ on your PC is slower than a cloud service, and smaller models are less reliable at long tasks. Advanced option: your own Anthropic API key, paid to Anthropic directly, with a monthly spending limit; off by default.

In the controlled beta

AJ Task Mode

Carries out multi-step tasks one step at a time, saying each step before doing it, with confirmation before anything risky and an emergency stop (Ctrl+Alt+Escape).

Model accuracy varies. Review each step; keep another way to control your computer.

In the controlled beta

App Profiles

Click, right-click, scroll and activate controls by name. Ready-made profiles for common programs, and learning new programs.

Profiles help with supported tasks; not every program or workflow is covered.

Privacy & Private Mode

By default nothing leaves your PC. Private Mode blocks cloud AI entirely while everything local keeps working.

Cloud AI is used only with your own key and “Allow cloud AI” turned on. Passwords and other secrets are removed from text first, and the vault is never sent.

Your choices matter.

This website does not listen to commands, inspect your screen, or operate your computer. In the Windows application, Private Mode blocks cloud AI entirely while everything local keeps working. That is separate from this website’s privacy and display preferences.
