Metallurgy
Document reading for AI agents
Metallurgy is coming soon, and it will need a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 27.
All the documents, none of the tokens
Metallurgy lets a coding agent such as Claude Code read PDFs, scans, screenshots, long logs, folders of documents and audio and video recordings on your Mac, instead of loading them into its own context. The reading happens on the Mac, so it costs nothing in API fees and uses far fewer of the agent’s tokens.
-
Made for coding agents
Your agent calls Metallurgy instead of loading documents into its own context, and gets back only the part it needs.
-
Reads nearly anything
Metallurgy reads PDFs, scans, screenshots, long logs, folders of documents, and audio and video recordings, all on the Mac itself.
-
Kind to your tokens
Because the reading happens on your Mac, it costs nothing in API fees and uses far fewer of the agent’s tokens.
-
Shows what it saved
Metallurgy keeps a record of the tokens it saved and an estimate of the money, so the saving is there in plain figures.
Common questions
When will Metallurgy be released, and what will it cost?
Neither the release date nor the price is set yet. When it arrives, Metallurgy will be sold like every Handy Tools app: One fee, lifetime access.
Which agents can use it?
Metallurgy is built for coding agents such as Claude Code. Your agent calls Metallurgy to read something instead of pulling the whole file into its context.
What can it read?
It reads PDFs, scans, screenshots, long logs, folders of documents, and audio and video recordings on your Mac, and returns only the part your agent needs.
Does it save money as well as tokens?
It should, on both counts. The reading runs on your Mac itself, so it costs nothing in API fees and uses far fewer tokens, and Metallurgy records the tokens saved and an estimate of the money.
What will Metallurgy need to run?
It will need macOS 27 and a Mac with Apple silicon. It’s coming soon, and there’s more to share closer to release.
