Because the app is not notarized by Apple, macOS Gatekeeper will block it on first launch. Follow these steps:

Alternative (no Terminal): 1. Try to open the app — macOS will block it 2. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security 3. Scroll down to find "Open Generative AI was blocked" 4. Click Open Anyway → Open

  1. Click More info on the SmartScreen dialog 2. Click Run anyway

The app will install silently to '%LocalAppData%' with a Start Menu shortcut.
