About Overlay

Overlay (overlay.io) is a visual contextual AI desktop workspace that runs as a lightweight HUD over active applications. It analyzes visual layout, active code context, and active browser tabs to deliver instant answers, smart code transformations, and cross-application automation.

By operating directly over developer windows, Overlay removes friction from context switching and provides instant multimodally grounded assistance.

  • Floating transparent UI integrates into any window workflow
  • Multimodal visual screen context capture
  • Custom hotkey triggers and workflow macros
  • Requires desktop screen permission access
  • GPU utilization when visual capture is continuously active
