| Solen for Windows | Microsoft Copilot on Windows | heyclicky (Clicky) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | An AI assistant that works through jobs with many steps on your Windows PC. | A desktop app that, “at your direction, … can search your files, understand what’s on your screen with Copilot Vision, and help you across apps and documents.” [1] | “An ai buddy that lives on your mac or windows pc.” It talks you through what you are doing, or an agent does the task. [4] |
| Runs on | 64-bit Windows 11. Windows 10 and ARM PCs are untested. | Windows 10 and Windows 11. [2] | Mac (Sonoma 14.2 or higher) and Windows 10 and 11. [4] |
| Clicks and types in your apps | Yes. It reads the window’s text and controls, takes a picture when it needs to see, then clicks, types, scrolls, drags or presses keys. | Copilot Actions, described as an experimental feature for Windows Insiders in Copilot Labs, is Microsoft’s example of AI that works in your apps “to click, type and scroll like a human would.” [3] | Yes, when you let it: it “moves the mouse and types only for the task you approved.” [5] |
| Where it acts | In your own Windows session, only in the job’s windows. Scrolling, dragging, keys and some clicks use your real mouse and keyboard. | Copilot Actions runs in an agent workspace: a separate Windows session with its own agent account. [3] | On your computer; agents “can read and create files to finish your task.” A Chrome extension can also act in your browser. [5] |
| Asks you first | Before sending to other people, paying, deleting for good, and security or access changes, unless your request asked for exactly that step. | By default, Windows asks for your consent when an agent requests your Documents, Downloads, Desktop, Music, Pictures or Videos folders. [3] | Before opening folders like Desktop, Documents and Downloads; “you can take back control at any time.” [5] |
| AI models | Online models: through Solen, your ChatGPT plan, or your own OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter key. | Not stated | OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. [5] |
| Screen pictures | When it needs to see, a picture of the job’s window goes to the AI model. Screenshots it saves stay on your computer. | Copilot Vision can look at an app or desktop you choose to share with it. How long screenshots are kept is not stated on the pages cited here. [2] | It sees your screen only when you press the hotkey [4]; “We don’t store your screenshots on our servers.” [5] |
| Price | The Beta is free and invitation-only. Paid plans are not available. | “Copilot is free to use on Windows.” Extras such as extended usage limits require Microsoft 365 Copilot. [1] | Free ($0; 25 talk and 25 agent messages a month), Pro $20 a month, Max $100 a month. [4] |
| Status | Private Beta, version 0.26.1 beta 2. | The Copilot app is available; Copilot Actions is described as a preview for Windows Insiders. [3] | Available to download; “it’s early!” [4] |
| Made by | EZ Site Studio LLC | Microsoft | Humansongs, Inc. [5] |
