FAQ · OMEGA EX
FAQ

Straight answers.

Requirements, availability, data handling, and how the pill works.

Getting started
What do I need to run Omega Ex?

A Mac running macOS 14.4 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. On first run it asks for the standard macOS permissions it needs, explains each one, and works with what you grant.

How do I get it?

Download it for macOS, open the .dmg, and you are two minutes from a working pill. On first run it walks you through the permissions it needs.

Is there a Windows or iPhone version?

Not yet. Omega Ex is macOS today. Windows and mobile are on the roadmap, and we do not announce dates we have not earned.

Using Omega Ex
Does dictation really work in any app?

If your cursor is in it, your voice goes there: email, documents, chat, browsers, search boxes. Hold fn, talk, release. See how the pill works.

How are meetings captured without a bot?

Capture happens on your Mac, from your side of the call, audio only. Nothing joins the participant list. The pill shows a visible recording indicator the whole time, and a one-tap disclosure lets you tell the room. Meetings and Notes.

What is companion mode?

Ask the pill to look, and it reads the screen you are on to help you finish the work in front of you: the document, the spreadsheet, the reply. It looks only when you ask, never in the background, and the pill shows whenever it is looking. See it on the Pill page.

Which AI model is it running on?

All of the top ones. Omega Ex runs on Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini and switches automatically to the model best suited to each task. A picker under the message box lets you override that choice for any message.

What exactly is a skill?

A recurring task you have taught it: your weekly update, your morning triage, your one-on-one prep. Type @ to pull one up, or just ask naturally and it recognizes the job. You build skills by talking, not by coding. Skills.

Your data
Can your staff read my content?

No. Your data is isolated per account at the database layer, and our operational logs store hashes and metadata, not your words. The full data story.

Is my data used to train AI models?

No. Requests to model providers run under agreements that forbid training on your data.

Can I make it forget something?

Yes, and it is the only hard delete in the system. The memory inspector shows everything it knows, where each fact came from, and a forget button that means it. The memory inspector.

What about the other people in my meetings?

Recording is visible by design: an indicator whenever capture is live, a one-tap disclosure you can speak or post, stricter defaults where every party must consent, and one-tap delete. Recording laws vary by place; the controls are built so you can use them lawfully. Consent, in detail.

Does it listen all the time?

No. The mic is live only while you hold the key, and the pill shows it whenever it listens. There is no always-on listening.

Accounts and keys
What is included?

Model access is included: no API keys to paste, nothing to manage, one bill.

Can I use my own API keys instead?

Yes. Connect your own Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini account and your inference runs there: your account, your bill, and we never see or bill your usage.

Which AI providers does it work with?

Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini today, with more coming. Integrations.

Importing
Can it read my ChatGPT or Claude history?

Yes. Export your history from those apps and hand Omega Ex the file; it arrives already knowing the story so far. Gemini history imports the same way. Re-import whenever you like to stay current.

The fastest way to the rest of the answers is the pill itself.
