> Under the hood
- Speech
- Speech is transcribed and translated as you talk. Bolo detects the language and speaks its answer back in it.
- Agent
- A single agent plans the task and calls tools until it finishes. If it needs a decision from you, it stops and asks.
- Isolation
- Tools, API keys, and cancellation run in the main process. The UI window has no filesystem access and talks to it through a validated IPC bridge.
- Browser
- A visible browser window with its own profile, so logins persist. You enter passwords yourself; the agent never sees them.
- MCP
- MCP servers connect over stdio or HTTP with OAuth, and their tools become available to the agent.

Bolo runs from the menu bar. Press ⌘ ⇧ Space to open it. It asks for microphone access the first time you speak, and for Accessibility and Screen Recording the first time a task needs to control another app.
