Changelog

The best chats start with the right context. Screen Awareness brings context from your focused app or window into AI Chat or Quick AI, so you don’t have to copy text, attach screenshots, or explain what you’re looking at.

Use the Send Focused Window to AI command, choose Screen Awareness from the @ menu, or simply ask “summarise this” or “reply to this”.

The first time you use the command, a short onboarding guide helps you set a hotkey. Our team likes to double-tap the right Ctrl key.
