Press ⌘J on a page and a line opens at its foot. Say what you want in your own words, such as draft a reply saying Thursday works or what changed in this pull request?, and press ↩.
The pills above the line are what the agent will see: This page, text you selected, and any tab you add with + Tab. Under the line are the site’s own actions and your recent phrases. ⌘J again moves what you typed, pills and all, into a chat, not sent yet.
With text selected, ⌘J offers the commands for it instead. In a private tab the line gives nothing of the page and says so: the task works in tabs of its own. In mail, it asks about your mail: see Asking about your mail.
Where it works#
The agent decides, from what you asked:
- Work on this page, reading it, clicking or filling it in, happens right here. A bar at the page’s foot says what it is doing; ⌘. or any click of yours takes over.
- Something to write, a reply, a comment or a review, ends as a draft in the page’s own box, waiting for you.
- Work that needs other pages, finding and comparing, happens in tabs of its own, and you follow it in the chat on the right.
Drafts and answers#
A draft comes with a line under it:
An answer comes as a card at the page’s foot:
What the site offers#
Pages Yab knows come with actions of their own on ⌘J: Draft a reply in Gmail and Slack, Review this pull request on GitHub, Plan this issue in Linear, Sum it up on a long read, Track or return this on an order. On a subscription page, Cancel subscription goes all the way to the last button, turning down every offer to stay, and leaves that button to you.
A task from the field#
You don’t need a page. Type a task in ⌘T, like compare flights to lisbon in may, and the first row is Task for Claude (or ChatGPT, if your tasks run there). ↩ starts it in tabs of its own; ⇥ puts the plain search on top instead.
A question from the field#
Type a question in ⌘T or ⌘L, like how long to boil an egg for a runny yolk, and the first row is Ask Claude (or ChatGPT). ↩ and the answer comes right in the field, with room for a follow-up under it. Any words offer it, one or two rows down when they read as a search or a task.
From ⌘L it knows the page you’re on, so what’s the price here? works. It also looks in your history for your words, so it can answer about something you read. Back gives you your words again, to search them instead.
