Julie Zero

I’ve posted here before about Julie, an open-source desktop AI assistant I’ve been building in public. The OSS version is local-first and powerful, but it assumes you’re comfortable bringing your own models or API keys.A lot of people told me the same thing: “I just want to install it and have it work.”So I built Julie Zero.Julie Zero is the premium tier that works straight out of the box. No API keys, no setup. Install it and start using it immediately.What Julie Zero does:Sees your screen and understands what you’re looking at in real timeHelps across apps by clicking, typing, navigating, and automating workflowsUses on-screen context, not just text prompts, so responses are actually relevantFast and low-latency, so it feels usable during real workBuilt with a local-first mindset and tuned for everyday workflowsThe open-source version is still there and always will be. Julie Zero is just about removing friction for people who don’t want to configure anything.Pricing: Julie Zero is $9.99/month, which is a fraction of the price of similar screen-aware tools like Cluely’s premium tier.Giveaway: I’m giving 3 months of unlimited Julie Zero access to 10 people.To get it:Star the open-source Julie repo on my GitHub: https://github.com/Luthiraa/julie (make sure a social is connected to your gh so i can reach out!)I’ll send you a one-time code for 3-month premium accessI’m building this very hands-on and iterating fast. Would love feedback from people using it in real workflows. Happy to answer questions.
