What Grasp is
Grasp uses domain-aware AI to produce summaries and insights from text, documents, images, audio, and video. It accepts materials such as PDFs, Word and TXT files, charts, photos, podcasts, meetings, lectures, and webinars. Users can set summary length and focus, then ask follow-up questions; the service says it supports more than 100 languages. The web product offers 137 tools without installation. Its browser extension can explain hovered words and summarize selected text or a full page within the current tab. The Mac app works wherever text renders, including PDF readers, chat windows, and code editors, and requires macOS 15 or later. It supports Intel and Apple Silicon and recognizes on-screen text locally, including scans, images, and captions. Web, extension, and Mac use one account and sync saved memos. The free plan is free, limited to 5 runs or follow-ups daily, 100 lookups monthly, 200,000-character inputs, and files up to 10MB. Premium is $19.99 a month or $95.88 a year, billed at $7.99 a month annually.
