Powerful, and always yours to stop
Helix acts on your real computer, so the rules are built into the code, not left to a prompt. Here is exactly what it will and won't do.
One key stops everything
Ctrl+Shift+K halts Helix instantly, from anywhere, and releases the mouse and keyboard. The banner always shows it.
It asks before it commits
Every action has a risk class. Reading is free; sending, buying, deleting and powering off wait for your yes.
You see what it sees
A live trace of its reasoning, every step on a card, and a glowing frame whenever it is using your screen.
No passwords, no CAPTCHAs
It never types your passwords or card numbers, and never gets round bot checks. It hands those moments to you.
Rules you set stick
"Don't send anything" binds every step of the task, including steps planned together. It is checked before each action.
Undo for code
Helix Code keeps the original of every file it touches, so any change, file or whole turn can be put back.
What stays on your machine
Where do my keys live?
On your PC. Model keys you add for Helix Code are stored in your user folder, never synced to settings, and can't be set from another device.
Does Helix watch my screen all the time?
No. It looks only while a task you started is running, and it can't operate its own window.
What can my phone do?
Everything the PC app can, through a pairing PIN or your account. Credentials and re-pairing are withheld from remote access on purpose; those you do at the machine.
What if an update goes wrong?
Each update is verified against its checksum before it runs, and a failed update puts the previous version back.
Try it with the stop key in reach.
You stay in charge of every step.
