Share to BoltAI

planned

Please allow sharing a file or text to BoltAI to ask questions. It would be great to quickly right click an image and share an image to BoltAI and ask a question instead of first opening the main window, dragging the image and then asking a question.

I decided to deprioritize this one. Building a share extension turns out to be more complicated than I thought.

One experiment I'm doing is to allow draging and dropping the images directly to the BoltAI Menu Bar Icon (which is way faster than right click > share > select boltai > wait > click Post)

It looks something like this: https://share.cleanshot.com/Wcntmv3Y

Daniel Nguyen Looks nice. Can you also add that feature to the dock icon? Thanks!

Thanks for adding this feature. I can drag an image from the desktop or a website to the menu bar icon and it works properly, but when I drag it to the dock icon, only images dragged from the desktop works. Dragging from a website does not work.

Daniel Nguyen When using local models, it does not switch to the image analysis model (LlavA) when dragging to the menu bar icon.

Thanks for adding "Open in BoltAI". Are you also able to add Share to BoltAI from the share menu? The open in BoltAI is useful for images already on the desktop, but that won't work with images on websites. I can take the screenshot and ask, but it would be easier to right click and simply share the image to BoltAI. Thanks!
