Ask Littlebird without breaking your flow

Whether you’re mid-email, mid-meeting, or mid-research rabbit hole, Hover appears over your current window so you can ask a question or get help with what's right in front of you. It already knows your work context and can see what's on your screen, so you can get quick answers without losing focus.

Get answers during live meetings

Hover works while Littlebird is transcribing, so you can look things up without disrupting the conversation. Ask about a detail from a past call, pull up context on a topic that just came up, or check your notes from last time.

Works on top of your apps

Hover appears on top of any app: your browser, a spreadsheet, Slack, your inbox. You can ask about what's on your screen, pull up a meeting recap, or draft a quick response, without switching to Littlebird first.

How to get started

It only takes a few clicks to start using Hover.

Step 1

Download Littlebird and let it run in the background to start building context from your screen.

Step 2

Open Chat and ask about anything you’ve seen or need to create.

Step 3

Get personalized answers and content based on your real work.

Step 1

Step 2

Double-tap the Option key (or set a custom shortcut) to open it over any window.

Step 3

Get answers without leaving what you're doing.

An assistant across all your apps

Get your work done without leaving the chat, Littlebird knows.

Littlebird is both my personal assistant and researcher. It's simply the best personal productivity tool I've ever tried.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hover?

Hover is a floating window that lets you use Littlebird on top of whatever you're working on. It already knows your meetings, notes, and documents—and can see what's on your screen—so you can get quick answers without losing focus.

How do I open Hover?

Double-tap the Option key from anywhere on your computer for quick access to Littlebird. You can also set a custom keyboard shortcut in Settings > Hover if that conflicts with something else.

Does Hover work during meetings?

Yes. If Littlebird is transcribing a meeting, Hover can pull from the live transcript, as well as your past meetings and work context. You can ask questions in real time without leaving the call.

How is Hover different from chat?

Hover is the same chat experience, just in a floating window you can open over whatever you're working on. It's a shortcut for when you don't want to switch to the Littlebird app.
