Raycast 2.0 adds deep AI and automations
Raycast 2.0 rebuilds the application from the ground up to support advanced workflows, introducing actionable AI across applications, Automations for recurring tasks, and Projects for grouping related work. Users can now connect their personal ChatGPT or Claude accounts to integrate these models directly alongside their everyday commands and extensions.
Raycast is evolving from a simple launcher into a comprehensive OS-level agentic layer. The shift from search/launcher to "actionable AI" highlights a broader trend of integrating AI directly into OS workflows. Native support for Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) via personal ChatGPT or Claude accounts is a smart move for power users concerned about cost or specific model preferences. The addition of Automations and Projects threatens dedicated productivity and automation tools by bringing those capabilities directly into the launcher.
