LuciQA / Getting started

Getting started

Set up LuciQA and ask your first question from your screen.

  1. Download the package for your operating system and architecture, install it, and open LuciQA. It stays in the system tray when its windows are closed.
  2. On macOS, allow Screen Recording in System Settings, then restart LuciQA if requested. On Linux, capture support depends on the desktop session; Wayland can restrict capture and overlays.
  3. Create an API key with a supported provider. Open LuciQA Settings, choose that provider, and enter the key. Provider billing and quotas are separate.
  4. Choose an available model, select one provider for Free, and save your settings. Keep your key private.
  5. From the tray, choose the text (OCR) or image question action, then select only the region containing your question. OCR recognizes English and Turkish locally.
  6. Read the answer and check important details against a reliable source. Pro adds Multi and comparison between providers; neither is required for your first Free question.

Provider charges and quotas are separate from LuciQA.
