Tools and automation
Connect the tools you choose.
Add your own MCP servers, enable Raycast commands and use Mac actions. Zeus checks the exact tool and inputs it will receive before execution.
Raycast
Run Raycast commands
Use Script Commands, extensions and shortcuts you already maintain. Zeus checks the command before Raycast runs it.
Mac actions
Run approved Mac actions
Use built-in actions, AppleScript and approved URLs. Each action follows its own policy and approval rule.
Founders
Capture decisions, rewrite updates and prepare follow-up work.
Use Dictation for everyday writing, Ask for a direct answer and Agent Mode for work that spans several steps. Zeus works in the app you are already using.
“Review the launch blockers, draft the update and prepare follow-up issues for anything without an owner.”
Developers
Dictate technical text and run approved developer tools.
Set a code profile with its own speech model, microphone, vocabulary and formatting. Connect local or hosted MCP servers, Raycast commands and Mac actions.
“Summarise the staged diff, draft the commit message and open the pull request checklist.”
Enterprise
Control providers, models, context, actions and retention.
Configure Privacy Mode, speech and AI routes, tools, retention and audit records through managed policy designed to apply before requests start.
“Allow local models and approved MCP servers. Block remote providers and content logging.”
Enterprise controls
Security controls designed for the Mac.
Set what Zeus can use.
Managed preferences and signed policy packs are designed to control Agent Mode, providers, models, MCP, Raycast, AppleScript, context, logging, retention and exports.
Approve the exact action.
Protected actions use a short-lived approval tied to the specific tool and inputs. Zeus asks again when those details change.
Keep content out of logs.
Zeus is designed to keep prompts, tool inputs, results and secrets out of audit records. Credentials are intended to remain in macOS Keychain.
