Inserting a Snippet
PressCmd+Shift+S while composing to open the snippet picker. Search by name or shortcut, then select. The content inserts at your cursor, recipients populate To/CC, attachments attach, and subject pre-fills if empty.
You can also type the shortcut keyword directly in the composer — Slashy offers to expand it.
AI Variables
AI variables embed a prompt inside a snippet. When inserted, the AI generates personalized content based on the recipient, thread history, and your memories.Write your prompt
Describe what the AI should generate. Examples:
- “Personalize a greeting based on our previous conversations”
- “Write a one-sentence summary of why I’m reaching out”
- “Generate a relevant icebreaker based on the recipient’s company”
Pre-Set Recipients & Attachments
Add default To/CC recipients for templates where the same people are always included (e.g., weekly updates that CC your team lead). Recipients are added to existing fields, not replaced, and duplicates are auto-deduplicated. Attached files are stored with the snippet and included every time it’s used.Usage Tracking
