TypeFlow vs Raycast AI
Raycast AI lives in its window. TypeFlow lives in your text field.
Raycast is a brilliant launcher with AI built in. TypeFlow drafts right where your cursor is — no window to open, no pasting back.
Start free trialWhat Raycast AI does well
Raycast is one of the best launchers on the Mac: a fast, keyboard-driven command palette with AI chat across 30+ models, Quick AI, AI commands, and natural-language AI extensions that act across your installed tools. For launching, searching, and running commands, it’s hard to beat — and many people keep it open all day.
Where TypeFlow is different
To use Raycast AI inside another app you typically open Raycast, run a command, and paste the result back (its in-place “Quick Fix” is the exception). TypeFlow removes that round trip: press ⌥Space anywhere and a card opens at your cursor, reads the screen context automatically, and inserts the draft in place. Different tools for different jobs — plenty of people run both.

Your text stays yours
TypeFlow reads the text around your cursor to draft, sends it to TypeFlow’s servers, and never stores, logs, or trains on it. Raycast takes a similarly careful stance — it doesn’t retain your prompts or train on them either. With both tools, your words aren’t kept.
