Questions from the bench

What is Lightning Assist?
Lightning Assist is a desktop text expander for Windows, macOS, and Linux that expands keyboard shortcuts into full snippets inline as you type in any app. It includes built-in AI commands for rewriting text, push-to-talk voice typing, and works across email, code editors, terminals, Slack, and other desktop applications without requiring browser extensions.
How do AI Credits work?
AI Credits are a metered balance used for AI features like AI Chat and content generation. Credits are purchased in USD, do not expire, and have no daily or monthly caps. Once you run out of credits, AI features pause until you buy more. AI Credits are non-refundable except in limited cases.
Does push-to-talk voice typing require a subscription?
No. Push-to-talk voice typing works on the free tier without a Pro subscription. It uses Speech Credits, with 1000 included monthly on Pro and available for purchase on the free plan.
Why should I choose Lightning Assist over browser extensions?
Lightning Assist is a native desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux that works across all desktop applications including terminals and IDEs. Browser extensions cannot access these applications.
