# AI Inline Autocomplete

> Ghost text predictions while you type, Tab to accept, manual trigger with Cmd+\, context-aware suggestions, and character tracking for AI vs. manual input.

Slashy predicts what you're about to type and shows it as ghost text ahead of your cursor. Press `Tab` to accept and keep writing. Suggestions draw on thread context, your memories, and recipient information to sound like you.

## How It Works

As you type in compose, reply, or forward, Slashy runs a lightweight AI model that reads:

* **Thread context** -- the emails above your reply, what was asked and discussed
* **Your memories** -- facts, writing style, preferences
* **Recipient information** -- enriched contact data, past interactions, per-contact memories
* **Current draft** -- what you've typed so far up to your cursor

Ghost text appears inline and disappears the moment your input diverges from it.

## Accepting and Dismissing

| Action            | How                     |
| ----------------- | ----------------------- |
| Accept suggestion | `Tab`                   |
| Trigger manually  | `Cmd+\`                 |
| Dismiss           | `Escape` or keep typing |
| Full AI draft     | `Cmd+Enter`             |

## Manual Trigger

Press `Cmd+\` to request a suggestion at your cursor position. Useful when:

* You've paused and want a suggestion without waiting
* You dismissed a suggestion and want a new one
* You're starting a blank compose and want a jumping-off point

## What Makes Suggestions Context-Aware

| Context Source         | What It Contributes                                                                  |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Thread history**     | Understands what was asked, what the natural next response is                        |
| **Your memories**      | Knows your preferences and rules (e.g., "always suggest a call for investor emails") |
| **Recipient memories** | Per-contact facts (e.g., "John prefers morning meetings")                            |
| **Writing style**      | Matches your tone, greeting style, sign-off, and formality level                     |

## Character Tracking: AI vs. Manual

Slashy tracks how much of each email was written by you versus accepted from autocomplete:

* `Tab` acceptance counts as **AI-generated**
* Normal typing counts as **manual**
* Deletions are subtracted proportionally from both categories

Stats are recorded on draft save and email send, so you can see how much time AI is saving.

## Disabling Autocomplete

Turn off ghost text from the compose editor toolbar. When disabled:

* No ghost text appears
* `Cmd+\` does nothing
* All other AI features (draft reply, editing, rating) continue independently

<Tip>
  **Get better suggestions:** Add memories in **Settings > Memories** about your role, preferences, and common phrases. Write the first few words of a sentence to give the AI a clear direction.
