The problem this product is built around
Copying text into a separate AI app breaks the task into windows and loses the sentence you were trying to finish. The answer may be good, but moving it back, preserving context and switching between apps costs enough that people stop asking. A keyboard assistant has to keep the question close to the field where the answer will be used.
How Loopal solves it
Loopal opens a conversation from the keyboard with a hold on the space bar. The input stays in the keyboard session, the response arrives as a stream, and the useful result can be handed back to the field or kept as a conversation. You can use platform credits, your own supported provider key, or an Ollama server on your LAN. Open the Loopal product page to see current availability and plan details.
A practical workflow
- Enable Loopal as a keyboard and decide whether its Full Access setting fits what you want to send.
- Place the cursor in the app where you are writing, then hold the space bar to open the conversation surface.
- Ask for a transformation that names the output you need: rewrite, translate, summarize or draft a reply.
- Review the streamed answer before inserting it, and choose a backend whose data and cost you understand.
What to check before you trust the result
A keyboard cannot automatically read every app’s private content, and Full Access is a real permission choice. Loopal is not a reason to paste secrets into a provider you do not trust, and a generated answer still needs your review. Check the product page for current availability before planning a production workflow.
Who this workflow is for
This is for short transformations inside an existing writing flow, not for a long research project that needs a full browser and a large context window. Its advantage is the handoff back to the field, not an abstract claim that every answer is better.

The useful promise of Loopal is specific: it shortens one repeated decision while keeping evidence, assumptions and stopping points visible. Start with one real task, inspect the result, and only then make it part of your routine. Try Loopal.
