Tricks and Shortcuts

To accelerate your work with ajan, there are a few shortcuts and tricks you can use, like CMD + K.

Shortcuts

There are shortcuts to perform key operations in ajan.

Shortcuts marked native desktop app apply to the native ajan app, not the browser-installed PWA described below. We recommend that desktop app over the PWA.

All users can load the prompts from the prompt library into the chat field with @. You can find out more about the prompt library here.

CMD + K

The shortcut CMD + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows) opens a window where you search your chat history or search through all settings.

For example, you can:

Type in a keyword to search a chat
Type in the name of a pinned agent to go to a new chat with this agent
Type in "language" or "theme" to change the language or switch between light and dark themes

Paste URL of document to attach it

As explained here, you can attach files and pages from your integrations to a chat or to an agent. There are two ways to do that:

You can either search for the name to look through all files.
Or you paste the URL of the according file in the search field or in the chat to find and attach the file.

ajan App (Mobile)
