First Use Walkthrough

Congratulations on installing Rephlo! Let's execute your first AI command to see it in action. We will perform a simple Text Summarization task.

Prerequisites: Ensure Rephlo is running (check the system tray).

Step 1: Prepare Some Text

Open Notepad, a web browser, or any text editor. Type or paste a paragraph of text. For example:

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. This sentence uses every letter of the alphabet and is commonly used for touch-typing practice. Foxes are known for their cleverness, while dogs are known for loyalty."

Step 2: Select the Text

Highlight the text you just wrote using your mouse or keyboard.

Step 3: Trigger Rephlo

There are two ways to activate Rephlo on the selected text:

  • Option A (Hotkeys): Press the default global hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C).
  • Option B (Tray): Left-click the Rephlo icon in the system tray.

An overlay or window should appear, showing your selected text is "Active".

Step 4: Run a Command

  1. In the Rephlo window, look for the "Commands" list.
  2. Find a command named "Summarize" or "Fix Grammar" (or type "Summarize" in the search bar).
  3. Click on the command card or press Enter.
