AI Providers
Raven can use Anthropic (Claude) or OpenAI (GPT), depending on the edition:Models (open source)
When you bring your own keys, you can choose:
Haiku / GPT-5.4 Mini are recommended for live meetings; Opus 4.7 or GPT-5.5 are better for the hardest reasoning tasks (e.g. complex coding).
Quick Actions
During a recording, the overlay shows quick action buttons. Click any of them and the AI responds with full conversation context:
On any AI response card, you can click Tell me more to expand on that answer.
You can also trigger Assist with
Cmd+Enter (includes a screenshot of your screen for visual context).
Typed Questions
Type a specific question in the input bar at the bottom of the overlay and press Enter. The AI answers your question directly, using the conversation transcript as context. This is useful for pointed questions like “What was their budget?” or “Summarize the technical requirements they mentioned.”Screenshot Context
PressCmd+Enter to capture a screenshot of your screen and send it to the AI along with your question.
During a recording: The AI sees both the screenshot AND the conversation transcript. Useful for referencing slides, documents, or shared screens during a meeting.
Without a recording: The AI operates purely on the visual content. This turns Raven into a general screen assistant - solve math problems, interpret charts, answer questions about anything visible on screen.
The screenshot automatically excludes Raven’s own overlay, so the AI only sees what’s beneath it.
Math & Code Rendering
AI responses render with full formatting:- Markdown - bold, italic, bullet points, headers
- Math formulas - rendered with KaTeX (e.g., equations from a whiteboard or slide)
- Code blocks - syntax-highlighted with language detection
Fast vs Deep (Pro)
Raven Pro users see a Fast/Deep toggle on the overlay pill. There is no separate model picker in Settings — this toggle is how you control speed vs quality:
Pro routes all AI through Claude via the managed backend. For maximum reasoning (e.g. very hard coding problems), use the open-source build with your own key and select Claude Opus 4.7 in Settings, or stay on Deep in Pro for a strong default.
