Trigger AI rewrites in any Mac text field with bracketed phrases

Problem: Mac users who want AI polish usually copy text to ChatGPT and paste it back, or rely on AI built into a specific writing app. There is no unified lightweight way to invoke LLMs in any text input.
Solution: A Mac menu bar tool: type {prompt} in any text field and press a shortcut; it reads surrounding context and inserts or replaces the generated result inline. Supports custom prompt templates and model switching.
Users: Mac users and knowledge workers writing emails, documents, and social content
MVP: Menu bar resident; global hotkey listener; read current input context; use user's own API key; insert result inline; support 3-5 built-in templates.
Revenue: One-time purchase or subscription with bring-your-own API key; advanced tier adds team template sync and local models.
Why now: AI writing demand is widespread but tools are fragmented; Mac accessibility APIs are mature, letting indie developers ship a lightweight, privacy-friendly alternative fast.
