Ask AI a question about anything visible on your screen using Open Portal

This task can be performed using Open Portal

Screenshots that answer back.

Ask AI About Your Screen

Capture or select the relevant screen area, then ask a specific question about what the AI should explain, extract, troubleshoot, or change. Visual AI tools work best when the selection includes enough context to interpret the item.

Review the selection before sending it. Include nearby labels, error messages, or design constraints, but exclude unrelated windows and sensitive details. For creative work, state the desired output, dimensions, audience, and what must remain unchanged.

What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Open Portal lets you draw a box around anything on your screen and get an instant AI answer without taking a single screenshot manually.
  2. Works for designers who need a quick thumbnail, ad variation, or UI redesign without switching between tools or writing long prompts.
  3. No more describing what you see in a chat window. Open Portal reads the visual context directly so your question stays short and your answer stays accurate.
  4. Marketers use it to box a competitor ad and get a finished alternative ready to test in seconds.
  5. If you have ever stared at an error, a chart, or a cluttered dashboard wishing someone could just explain it, Open Portal treats your screen like a question waiting to be asked.

More about selecting the right area

A good crop matters more than a long prompt. Screen based AI can only reason from the details you include, so balance focus with enough surrounding context.

  • Box the smallest area that still shows relevant labels, controls, or errors.
  • If the answer is vague, expand the selection and identify the exact element.
  • Hide passwords, personal data, private messages, and unrelated browser tabs.
