Typy

Stuck on your computer? Typy shows you what to do next.

Tell Typy what you're trying to do. It looks at where you are and tells you what to click and what to write. You do the clicking, so next time you can do it yourself.

Free to start. Works in the apps you choose, like Chrome, Word, Outlook and Notepad. English now, more languages planned.

▮ Ask Typy
How do I get a file back from the Recycle Bin?
Here's how:
  1. Double-click Recycle Bin on your desktop.
  2. Find your file in the list.
  3. Right-click it and choose Restore.
Thanks, it worked!

What it's for

One helper for the things that make computers feel hard.

Everyday computer tasks

The small things nobody taught you.

  • Send an email with an attachment
  • Bring back a deleted file
  • Make a table in Word
  • Fill in a form correctly

Learning to code

Say what you want to build. Typy breaks it into small steps and gives hints in three levels: where, what, then how. It checks your work as you type.

Building a real project

Bigger goals, like a to-do list web page with several files, are planned one phase at a time. Typy tells you which file to open and what to write, and ticks each step off.

How it works

Three steps. You stay in control.

Press Alt + Shift + G

In any app you've allowed. Typy opens beside you and sees where you are.

Say what you want

In your own words, like "reply and say no politely". If Typy needs more detail, it asks.

Follow the steps

Typy tells you where to look, what to click, and what to write. You do it, and you learn it.

Typy never clicks, types or fills anything for you. It only shows you how.

Privacy

Your screen stays yours.

Typy is built so you decide what it can see. The full details are in our privacy policy.

Off until you allow it

Typy only looks inside an app after you click "Allow" for that app. Everywhere else it sees nothing.

Screenshots only if you tick

A screenshot of the window is sent only when you tick the box for that message. Typy doesn't keep it.

Leave any time

Delete your account and everything saved with it from the Account menu. No email needed.

Get Typy

Pick where you want it.

Questions

Good questions, plain answers.

Does Typy click or type for me?

No. Never. It shows you where to click and what to write, and you do it. That's on purpose: it's how you learn, and it keeps you in charge.

Is it free?

Free to start, with a daily limit on how much you can ask. A paid plan for more is planned once Typy has proven useful.

What can Typy see?

Only what you allow. In an app you've allowed, it can read the name of the box you're in and the text inside it. If you tick the screenshot box, it also sees that one window. In other apps it sees nothing.

Can Typy be wrong?

Yes. Typy is an AI helper and can make mistakes, especially with unusual apps. If a step doesn't match what you see, tell it what you see and it will adjust. Check anything important before you rely on it.

Which computers does it run on?

The desktop app is for Windows. The web app and the VS Code extension work on any computer.
