AI Shortcuts

AI Shortcuts is a desktop productivity tool that brings AI assistance directly into any application via customizable keyboard shortcuts. Its primary purpose is to let users translate, rewrite, summarize, or otherwise process selected text without copying, pasting, or switching windows. By integrating AI into existing workflows, it reduces context switching and speeds up common text-related tasks across writing, research, and communication tools.

The tool works by letting users select any text on screen, press a predefined hotkey, and instantly receive an AI-generated result in a small overlay or directly in place. Users can configure multiple shortcuts for different actions, such as translating into a specific language, simplifying complex text, drafting replies, or generating alternative phrasings. AI Shortcuts supports custom prompts, allowing users to define their own behaviors and reuse them with a single keystroke. It is designed to work system-wide, so the same shortcuts function consistently across browsers, editors, email clients, and other applications.
