There are three main ways to use Raycast AI:

• Quick AI: It’s the fastest way to get answers to your questions directly from within Raycast. Ideal for one-off questions. Here’s a video to see it in action.
• AI Chat: A standalone chat window to ask AI anything. Ideal as an assistant during your workday.
• AI Commands: Pre-built or custom instructions, ideal for common tasks such as improve your writing.

Examples

Below are a few examples to familiarize yourself with Raycast AI. The examples show how to ask AI something, use the built-in commands, create your own custom commands, and interact with the AI Chat window.

Example 1: Quick AI

Follow the steps to ask AI anything:

1. Open Raycast
2. Type your question, f.e. “What were the specs of the first Macintosh?”
3. Press Tab to switch to Quick AI
4. Perform your next action, e.g. press ⌘ J to continue the conversation in the AI Chat

Some more noteworthy features:

• You can press Tab after opening Raycast to switch to Quick AI. This way you can access your previous question.
• Quick AI is only for one-off questions. If you want to ask a follow up question, continue in the chat.
• You can hide the Ask AI Tab hint via Settings → Extensions → Raycast AI. The Tab key still works.
