# Can you grab that? Simple AI that uses natural language to connect you to your documents.

GrabThat is the first Windows desktop launcher that uses natural language processing to connect you to your work the way you naturally think.

AI shouldn't force a new way of working or replace your process. Instead, GrabThat acts as a configurable desktop hub that seamlessly connects local models, team directories, and automated workflows directly to your existing setup—helping you achieve your strategic goals effortlessly.

Try it today.

## You don't have to know everything. You just have to know where to find it.

This is the access hot-key that activates the launch terminal.

Press `Ctrl` + `Space` anywhere on your desktop to summon GrabThat instantly.

## AI powered solution that configures to you.Not the other way around.

Most AI tools try to force a blanket transformation or change how your team operates. **GrabThat** takes a fundamentals-first approach: a configurable, local-first Windows hub that works alongside your existing operations, connecting directly to your local files and databases.
