What is the best Lucy OS1 setup for iMac users?

Open lucybrain.com in Safari and keep it as a persistent browser tab throughout your workday. The iMac's large screen means you can have Lucy OS1 visible alongside your other work without needing to switch windows. Many users pin the tab in Safari and return to it throughout the day for thinking sessions.

How does the iMac microphone perform for voice AI?

The M-series iMac includes a three-microphone array with directional beamforming. At typical desktop sitting distance (50 to 70 cm), it delivers excellent speech recognition in a quiet to moderately noisy environment. For noisier environments, a USB or Bluetooth headset improves accuracy.
