What is ‘Shortcuts’?

‘Shortcuts’ is our newly integrated feature that simplifies your work by enabling access to your most-used prompts instantly. The objective is to spare you the recurring effort of typing out commonly used prompts, such as “Summarize with selling words and maximum 25 words ::main body::”. With ‘Shortcuts’, a dropdown menu is at your disposal, listing all your saved prompts for seamless access.

Introducing the ‘Change Tone’ Shortcut

In our relentless pursuit to enhance user experience, we have introduced the “Change Tone” shortcut. This addition is revolutionary, as it empowers you to modify the tone of any given paragraph or text to suit your content needs. The different tones you can choose from are:

How Does ‘Change Tone’ Work?
