About Arc: AI Assistant

Arc: AI Assistant is a macOS app that applies AI to text the user is already reading or writing. It can summarize, explain, translate and rewrite on-screen text from any application, so the user does not need to copy content into a separate chat window to get help with it.

The product page listed for it has moved to a new address, and the redirect notice contains no further details. Information on supported models, keyboard shortcuts, privacy handling and pricing is therefore not included in this entry.
