Wave lets you invoke an AI model anywhere on macOS using just your voice. Hold a hotkey, speak, and release—your speech is transcribed, processed, and the result appears exactly where you need it. If you're typing, it replaces or inserts text. If you're reading, it shows a floating answer. Works across all apps with selected text as context.
