Hello Everyone! 👋 Whenever I needed to use ChatGPT, it felt slow. It always was the same process: leave my work, open a browser window, sign in, explain the context, copy/paste some texts or prompts, replace placeholders, etc. I needed something faster and with a better UI. No context switching, no login, and no unnecessary distractions. So, I decided to build Beam to scratch my itch and a few weeks later, I'm launching the first version for a pre-sale (https://getbeam.ai). My goal with Beam is to provide better and faster ways to use ChatGPT for Mac users. I'd love to hear your thoughts! And thank you so much for being here ♥️

@alex_streza Thank you so much Alex 🙏 And yeah, it's a bit unfortunate that it's macOS only, but I was a bit scared to go multi-platform because this is a little bit of an unusual project type.

As a user of create-tw (A cli tool developed by Andrej), I can definitely vouch for Beam, as Andrej is one of the best React devs and a fantastic creator whether it is content or products. I have seen how he has spent so much time building it in public. It is going to be an excellent product. Congratulations on the Launch 🎉 and All the best 🌟.

Incredible app. I originally used another AI menu bar app on the map but this one has WAY better functionality and an incredible UI. I love the floating window system... it makes it so easy to pop up and get things done with my API key. Thanks again to the developer!!!

Thanks Noah!

Beam has been great for keeping my most-often-used prompts at hand, along with having shortcuts I can use to trigger specific prompts and such. It's also great to be able to use ChatGPT in an app on my Mac, which makes it even faster to access and utilize. And I can't wait to see what else Beam will be able to do with ChatGPT to help me become even more productive in the future!
