Everything you need
to run InvisiQ.
InvisiQ is an invisible desktop overlay that puts an AI assistant on top of whatever you’re doing, and stays hidden from screen sharing, recording, and capture tools. This guide covers everything you need to use it day to day. Beta build v1.2.0, Windows 10 v2004+ and Windows 11.
From download to overlay in under a minute.
InvisiQ installs in seconds, no admin rights needed. Here is the exact order you will see on first launch.
Download & run
Grab the installer from the download page and run it. It sets up per-user in seconds, no admin rights needed.
Sign in with Google
On first launch, sign in with Google and accept the Terms & Conditions. Your 14-day free trial starts automatically.
Three-step setup
Add an API key (validated instantly, encrypted on your machine), skim the hotkeys, and run the stealth self-test to confirm the overlay is invisible.
Summon it anytime
Press Ctrl ⇧ G from any app to show or hide the overlay. That’s the one shortcut to remember on day one.
You can skip the wizard and reach everything later from the gear icon (Settings), or press Ctrl ,.
Bring your own key.
InvisiQ is bring-your-own-key (BYOK): you connect your own account with a major AI provider, and your usage is billed directly by them. Add a key in Settings → API Keys, paste it, and it validates automatically.
New to AI keys? Google Gemini has a free tier and is the easiest place to start. You can store keys for all three providers at once and switch models anytime. Keys are encrypted with AES-256 on your device and never leave it except to call the provider you chose.
Seven models, switchable mid-chat.
Pick a model from the header dropdown, or cycle with Ctrl ⇧ ] / [. Vision models read screenshots directly; o3-mini is text and reasoning only.
| Provider | Model | Vision | Context | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | GPT-4o | yes | 128K | medium |
| OpenAI | GPT-4o Mini | yes | 128K | fast |
| OpenAI | o3-mini | no | 200K | slow |
| Anthropic | Claude Sonnet 4 | yes | 200K | medium |
| Anthropic | Claude Haiku 4.5 | yes | 200K | fast |
| Gemini 2.0 Flash | yes | 1M | fast | |
| Gemini 2.5 Pro | yes | 1M | medium |
Type, press Enter, read the answer.
Show the overlay
Press Ctrl ⇧ G, then click the text box or press Ctrl ⇧ A.
Ask
Type your question and press Enter. The answer streams in live.
Adjust mid-chat
Switch models from the header dropdown (context carries over), nudge the opacity slider to read what’s behind the overlay, or start fresh with Ctrl ⇧ N.
InvisiQ can see your screen.
Capture something, ask about it, get an answer.
Full screen
Press Ctrl ⇧ S from any app. InvisiQ briefly hides, captures, and attaches it to the chat.
A region
Press Ctrl ⇧ R, then drag a box around the area. Only that region is captured.
Inline snip
Click the scissors icon in the input area and drag to select, handy when InvisiQ is already open.
Attach up to 3 screenshots per message. Images are auto-resized to stay fast and economical, and are never saved to disk, they’re cleared from memory after you send. Click the × on a thumbnail to remove it first.
No modes. No templates.
There’s nothing to pick. Just type, and optionally attach a screenshot. InvisiQ reads the situation and answers in the right shape automatically. It works like ChatGPT or Claude: one box, every task.
| What you give it | How InvisiQ responds |
|---|---|
| A question, quiz, or multiple-choice item | The answer first, then a tight explanation. |
| Code, an algorithm problem, or an error | The approach and complexity, then a full runnable solution. |
| A meeting or call on screen | A few concise talking points and action items. |
| Anything else | A direct, well-structured answer. |
Driven from the keyboard.
Every global shortcut is customizable in Settings → Hotkeys. Click a shortcut, press your new combination, and InvisiQ flags any conflicts for you.
| Global · work from any app | |
|---|---|
| Ctrl ⇧ G | Show / hide overlay |
| Ctrl ⇧ S | Capture full screen |
| Ctrl ⇧ R | Capture a region |
| Ctrl ⇧ A | Jump to the text box |
| Ctrl ⇧ C | Copy the last AI response |
| Ctrl ⇧ V | Paste the last response into the active app |
| Ctrl ⇧ N | New conversation |
| Ctrl ⇧ P | Toggle click-through |
| Ctrl ⇧ ] / [ | Next / previous model |
| Ctrl ⇧ I | Toggle stealth typing |
| Ctrl ⇧ Q | Panic: stop capture and hide |
| Esc | Hide the overlay immediately |
| When the overlay is focused | |
|---|---|
| Ctrl , | Open / close Settings |
| Ctrl K | Search your conversations |
| Ctrl L | Clear the current chat (press twice) |
Ctrl ⇧ Q is your panic button: it stops typing capture and hides the overlay instantly.
Type without being seen.
Because InvisiQ stays hidden from screen monitoring, it doesn’t grab keyboard focus the way a normal window does. To type into it discreetly:
Turn it on
Press Ctrl ⇧ I (or click the input box).
Look for the glow
A glowing border and caret confirm capture is live. Start typing.
Turn it off
Press Ctrl ⇧ I again, or Esc. If anything feels off, Ctrl ⇧ Q is your panic button.
Move answers into your real work.
Paste into another app
Press Ctrl ⇧ V while that app is active and InvisiQ pastes the last response, then disappears again. Or hover any response or code block and click Paste to App.
Clipboard helpers
Hover a code block and click Copy to grab just the code. InvisiQ also watches your clipboard and offers an Analyze with AI action when it spots new content you might want to ask about.
It keeps track, so you don’t.
Conversation history
Open it from the history icon or Ctrl K. Search everything by keyword, and export any conversation as JSON, Markdown, TXT, or PDF. Chats auto-save and auto-title, nothing to manage.
Memory
InvisiQ can remember useful facts across conversations so you don’t repeat yourself, and pulls in relevant memories automatically. Add, browse, search, or clear them anytime in Settings → Memory.
What we collect, and what we don’t.
Sign-in & trial
The beta requires a Google sign-in and a 14-day trial; days remaining show in a banner at the top of the overlay. The trial is verified with our server, so an internet connection is required. If InvisiQ can’t reach the server, it locks until it can re-verify.
Collected during the beta
Usage events and the text you type as prompts, to improve the product, as disclosed in the Terms & Conditions you accept on first run. Personal data is redacted on our side, and prompt data is deleted after 30 days. You can wipe it anytime with “Delete my data” in Settings.
Never collected
Your screenshots, any text read from them, or your API keys. Keys are encrypted with AES-256 on your machine, tied to your active trial, never stored in plain text, and only ever sent to the provider you chose.
Updates
InvisiQ updates itself automatically. Occasionally you may be asked to update before continuing so everyone’s on a supported version.
