Don’t just ask about it. Make something from it.

Open Portal doesn’t only answer questions about your screen. It turns what you see into a finished output.

What it made

Your next piece of content is already on your screen.

Turn the things you’re already looking at into thumbnails, posts, ads and creative assets in seconds.

YouTube

Find the frame. Box it. Make the thumbnail.

Pause the video where the face is right. The person stays exactly themselves; the type and the background are built around them.

A post you wrote, a line from an article, a comment worth keeping — boxed, and set as a graphic in the same breath.

Product / UGC

Turn product shots into polished creative, instantly.

The product stays the product — same cup, same label — re-lit like a shoot, with room left for the words.

Open Portal

AI should come to your workflow. Not the other way around.

Try Open Portal without installing anything.

Two things it does: make something, or understand something. Box part of the sample and pick either.

AI that starts with what you’re already looking at.

Traditional AI starts with an empty chat box. Open Portal starts with your screen. You choose the context by selecting it yourself.

Privacy

You choose exactly what AI sees.

  1. You press the shortcut.
  2. One frame of your screen is captured, once, in memory.
  3. You draw a box around the part that matters.
  4. Only the pixels inside the box are sent. Not the window, not the rest of the screen.
  5. Nothing runs, watches or records between presses.

Your screen isn’t the prompt. Your selection is.

Questions

01 What do I need to run it?

macOS 12 or later, or Windows 10 or later. No API key and no configuration — sign in with your email and the shortcut works.

02 Which AI does it use?

Open Portal automatically uses the right AI for the task: fast for reading a screen, stronger for a hard question, an image model for making things. You never pick.

03 What does it cost?

Free is 5 uses a day and needs no card. Pro, $19 a month, is for using it all day. Premium, $39 a month, adds making: 150 finished images a month. Prices plus tax where applicable.

04 What happens to my screenshots?

The crop is held in memory, sent to be answered, and never written to disk — not on your machine and not on ours. Only the pixels inside the box leave.

05 Does it record my screen?

No. One frame is captured per press and the source is released immediately. Nothing streams, nothing records, and nothing runs between presses.

06 Can I ask about two things at once?

Yes. Box one thing, press the shortcut again, box the other — the slide and the spreadsheet from two applications, read together. Up to 10 at a time on paid plans. And with nothing boxed, just start typing to ask about the whole screen.

07 Can I follow up?

Yes. Ask the follow-up in the same box — it remembers the last answer. A new box starts a new conversation.

The next time you see something, don’t screenshot it.

Select it. Ask Open Portal what you want done.
