# Can Storage Studio tell me why my Mac is slow?

Yes — ask **Tuhi**, the assistant on Storage Studio's Home screen, something like "Why is my Mac slow?". When you ask, it reads your Mac's live memory use, how busy the processor is, its temperature state and whether Low Power Mode is on, and tells you which one is the likely cause.

Common answers and what helps:

- **Startup disk nearly full** — free space or move large apps and folders to your fast drive.
- **Memory under pressure** — close a few heavy apps.
- **Processor very busy or the Mac hot** — let the heavy job finish, or find the app in Activity Monitor.

The snapshot is read once, on your Mac, only when you ask. More in [Tuhi assistant](https://storagestudio.us/faq/tuhi-assistant/).
