# Making AIPersonal

Crux is an AI personal assistant that works across your desktop, files, apps, and workflow.

Your chats, files, and context stay local to you, so your data stays yours.

## Intelligence, always at your fingertips

Crux floats above every app. One shortcut summons it. Anywhere, over anything.

`Ctrl`+` Shift`+` Space`*on Windows*

`⌘`+` Shift`+` Space`*on Mac*

Done. Rebuilt the hero on an 8pt grid, unified everything to one accent, and let the layout breathe. Refresh and compare.

Open **Preferences → Appearance**. I've circled the toggle for you. Flip it and the whole app goes dark.

An assistant that belongs to you. Crux learns how you work, grows with every interaction, and keeps everything on your machine.

Personal

### Built around you

It shapes itself around the way you work.

Self-evolving

### Grows with you
