Is BCD right for you?
A good fit for
Users intentionally giving an assistant controlled access to a Mac for repeatable file, development or data tasks.
Before you choose
Powerful device actions require explicit per-device approval and should stay limited to trusted accounts. Review commands and file access before execution. The selected AI provider may process supplied content; BCD does not include the assistant subscription.
Approve only the device capabilities you need
Install the official Mac connector, approve the intended device and add it to a compatible assistant. Start with a narrow read task and inspect what the assistant receives. Enable writes or process execution only for reviewed work within a known folder.
Computer access and separate AI cost
The official page offers the first month of Personal for up to three computers. A subsequent plan price was not established in reviewed evidence, so no monthly amount is assumed. ChatGPT, Claude or another AI account remains a separate subscription and data-processing relationship.
