Watch it work

Real screen recordings of Lucian 1.0.22 on a Mac. Nothing is staged: the prompt you see is the prompt that was typed, and the result is what came back.

Everyday
Demo 1 · Files

Make a folder, get a link to it

What was typed

make me a folder on my desktop for my tax stuff

What Lucian did

  1. 1Creates the folder with a sensible name
  2. 2Replies in one line, not a paragraph
  3. 3Hands you a chip that opens it in Finder

Why it is safe

Creating a folder never overwrites anything. If a folder with that name already existed, Lucian would say so and offer to use it instead.

Demo 2 · Batch moves, one approval

Eleven files moved with a single card

What was typed

there are some photos sitting on my desktop, put them somewhere

What Lucian did

  1. 1Lists the desktop first and says what it found: 5 JPGs and 6 screenshots
  2. 2Plans one batch: make a Photos folder, move everything into it
  3. 3Shows a single File changes card; you approve once and it runs

Why it is safe

Moving is reversible and nothing is deleted. The whole batch is previewed as one plan and nothing on disk changes until you approve it.

Demo 3 · Safe delete

Delete means Trash, never rm

What was typed

delete the old screenshots on my desktop

What Lucian did

  1. 1Lists the desktop and reports what matched: 6 screenshots, dated January through June
  2. 2Asks once for the whole step ("Approved all 6 actions") instead of six separate prompts
  3. 3Moves them to the Trash, and says so in the reply

Why it is safe

Lucian never permanently deletes files on its own. Delete always means the macOS Trash, so you can put everything back from Finder.

Demo 4 · Media

Captions for a video, from one sentence

What was typed

add captions to the team update video on my desktop

What Lucian did

  1. 1Finds the video on the desktop and confirms it has the media tools
  2. 2Transcribes the audio locally and writes team update.srt next to the original
  3. 3Offers to burn the captions into a copy of the video as a second step

Why it is safe

The original video is never modified. New files are created next to it and linked in the reply so you can open them in Finder.

For power users

Helpers that work in parallel

Try typing

compare Notion, Obsidian, and Apple Notes for me

What Lucian does

  1. 1Splits the job into helpers, one per app, right inside the chat
  2. 2Each helper shows its own step count, timer, and a Stop button while it reads the web
  3. 3Lucian merges what they found into one straight comparison and a recommendation

Why it is safe

Helpers are read-only researchers. They cannot change files or settings, and you can stop any of them at any moment. Web search uses DuckDuckGo by default; add a Brave or Tavily key in Settings for heavy research.

Try these yourself

Pick a plan, install Lucian, and type any of the prompts above. The setup wizard takes a few minutes.
