Raycast AI Commands

by Raycast

AI Commands are reusable, prompt-backed actions in the Raycast macOS launcher. You select text, open the command, and get the result — with built-in commands for writing, tone, and code, plus a form to create your own custom commands. Quick Fix can even run a command in place inside any focused app.

How to prompt it

Copy-paste prompts written to exercise this plugin, with what to expect.

A reusable 'tighten this' command

You want a one-press way to make any selected text more concise.

Rewrite the selected text to be about 30% shorter, keep the meaning and tone, and don't add new claims.

What to expect: Saved as an AI Command, selecting text and triggering it returns a tighter version you can paste back or apply in place.

Add a hotkey so the command works from any app without opening Raycast first.

Tips for getting the most out of it

Keep each command narrow and single-purpose — they're faster to trigger and more predictable.
Use Quick Fix for in-place edits in fields that support it.
