Highlight AI

Highlight AI: Desktop AI Assistant

Highlight AI is a desktop AI assistant that works across every app on your computer — understanding what's on screen, capturing context, and providing intelligent help in flow. Core capabilities: AI chat with memory, automatic meeting notes and action items across Zoom/Meet/Teams, hands-free voice interaction, task tracking, and deep integration with Gmail, Slack, Linear, Notion, and other productivity apps.

March 2026: $40M Series A led by Khosla Ventures with new CEO appointed — bringing total funding to $73M+. The pitch is operating-system-level AI that doesn't live in one app but assists across all of them.

Key Features

• Desktop AI assistant working across every app on your computer
• Auto meeting notes + action items (Zoom, Meet, Teams)
• Memory-backed AI chat that remembers your context
• Voice interaction — hands-free AI
• Native integrations: Gmail, Slack, Linear, Notion, more

Ideal Use Case

Knowledge workers who use 10+ apps daily and want AI that works across all of them rather than separate AI features inside each app. Particularly strong fit for managers and ICs in tech who live in meetings + writing + tasks.

Why Use Highlight AI

Most AI productivity is in-app (Notion AI, ChatGPT desktop). Highlight's bet: the OS-level layer is the right surface — AI that sees your screen and helps in any app you happen to be in. Khosla's $40M backs that thesis.

FAQ

Q: Does it work across all apps? A: Yes — runs at OS level, sees screen context, helps in flow.

Q: Privacy? A: Local-first design with optional cloud features; data stays on device by default.

Q: Mac + Windows? A: Yes — native desktop apps for both.

tl;dr

Desktop AI across every app on your computer. $40M Series A from Khosla. OS-level AI productivity bet.
