float.ai — Your invisible AI co-presenter

What floats

Five things, all of them on top.

Each one runs in the same overlay, so nothing you add pulls you out of the app you are presenting from.

Browser and desktop

Teleprompter

Scrolling text that keeps pace with your delivery. Horizontal or vertical, mirrored for camera rigs, with a screen share background mode so your audience sees a clean surface while you read.

Horizontal and vertical scroll
Speed on the arrow keys
Mirror flip for camera setups
Screen share background mode
Adjustable size and opacity
Auto-scroll with play and pause

Browser and desktop

Sticky notes

Draggable, resizable, colour-coded notes that float above everything. Pin your talking points, an agenda, a number you keep forgetting. They stay where you put them.

Drag to reposition anywhere
Resize from any corner
Seven colour presets
Saved locally, no account
As many at once as you need
Click-through on the desktop app

Desktop only

A true overlay

The desktop build draws a transparent window over the whole screen, and clicks pass straight through it to whatever is behind. Global hotkeys keep working while another app holds focus, which is the entire reason this exists.

True click-through transparency
Sits above every window
Hotkeys live from any app
Collapses to a pill
State restored on quit
Electron, native feel

Welcome everyone to the quarterly review. Let me walk you through what we shipped this cycle.

Claude, inside a note

Ask for a rephrase mid-sentence, a fact you have half forgotten, a cleaner way to say the thing you just fumbled. It answers in the note, formatted, without you leaving the call. Bring your own API key and it stays on your machine.

Chat inside any note
Your own API key, entered inline
Bold and lists come through
Aware of what is in the note
Several Claude notes at once
No server of ours in the middle

Desktop only

A browser in a note

A real browser engine inside a floating note, not an iframe, so the sites that refuse to be embedded load anyway. Docs, a dashboard, Google, sitting on top of the workspace instead of behind it.

Load any URL
Full engine, via Electron webview
None of the iframe restrictions
Drag and resize like any note
Google actually loads
Several open at the same time

Driven from the keyboard

Nothing here needs to be clicked.

Clicking the overlay would mean leaving the app you are presenting from, so every control is a hotkey that works while something else has focus.

What each one can actually do.

Click-through, transparency and global hotkeys need real window access, so they only exist in the desktop build. Everything else runs in either.
