When Brah is not the best pick
You use Windows. Brah is only for macOS for now. heyclicky, VoiceOS and ScreenHelp run on Windows.
You want it free. Brah is free for 7 days, then $29. heyclicky and ScreenHelp have free plans with a monthly limit.
You mostly want to dictate, or you want notes from your meetings. VoiceOS and Crodo are built round dictation. Highlight is built round meetings and the work after them.
When Brah fits
You want to be shown, not only told. Brah moves its own cursor to the button and circles it. Ask how to do a task and it points at one click at a time, then waits for you.
You want to see how something works. Brah draws live 3D and whiteboard scenes next to your cursor while it talks. You can turn them, slow them down and ask a follow-up.
You already pay for an AI. Brah uses your Claude or ChatGPT plan, an API key, your own Hermes agent, or a local model in Ollama or LM Studio. You pay for Brah once, with no account.
You want it to do the job. With Claude, ChatGPT or Hermes, Brah clicks and types for you, on its own.
