Cursivis

A living cursor that understands context.

Project Story — Cursivis

About the Project

Cursivis is a context-aware interaction system that turns the cursor into a living interface.

While AI has become widely available, the way we interact with it is still inefficient. Most workflows require users to stop what they are doing, switch applications, type prompts, explain context, and copy results back into their work. Instead of increasing flow, this creates friction.

Cursivis rethinks this interaction model.

At its core, Cursivis is built on a simple principle:

Selection becomes the prompt, and physical intent replaces commands.

Rather than asking users to describe what they want, Cursivis understands intent from what the user selects on screen, and confirms that intent through a deliberate Logitech MX hardware action.

How It Works

When a user selects any on-screen element — text, code, images, colors, or documents — they trigger Cursivis using a physical control on Logitech MX hardware. This can be a side button on the MX Master, a dial press on the MX Creative Console, or an interaction through the Actions Ring.

That single action signals intent.

Cursivis analyzes the selected content, understands the application context, and performs the most relevant micro-action automatically. Results appear instantly, without opening chat windows, typing prompts, or switching applications.

If the user wants a different outcome, they can hold the trigger to reveal a small set of context-aware options through the Actions Ring, allowing precise control without breaking flow.

Context-Aware Intelligence

What makes Cursivis unique is that the same selection and the same physical trigger can produce entirely different results depending on context.

  • Selecting code in an editor triggers bug analysis and prepares a clean fix.
  • Selecting a long report produces a concise summary.
  • Selecting foreign-language text translates it automatically.
  • Selecting an email draft improves clarity, tone, and structure.
  • Selecting creative content expands or refines it for engagement.
  • Selecting visual elements extracts colors, palettes, or captions.

The interaction stays consistent.
The intelligence adapts to context.

Why Logitech

Cursivis is designed specifically for the Logitech MX ecosystem.

Logitech hardware uniquely supports this interaction model by providing precise pointing, intentional physical controls, and the Actions SDK infrastructure. These elements allow Cursivis to move beyond shortcuts and macros, and instead treat hardware input as a signal of user intent.

This makes the experience feel native, reliable, and scalable across professional workflows.

Impact and Vision

Cursivis introduces a new interaction primitive that reduces cognitive load and preserves creative flow. By eliminating prompt-writing and context switching, it allows users to work faster without thinking about tools.

The cursor stops being a passive pointer and becomes an active interface — one that understands context, adapts over time, and feels alive.

Cursivis is not an AI assistant layered on top of existing workflows.
It is a foundational interaction system designed for the future of human-computer collaboration within the Logitech MX ecosystem.
