Speed Up with Quick Actions

The Quick Actions Menu

When you open Cicero Intern, you'll see Quick Actions displayed as clickable buttons. Each one is designed for a specific common task.

Using Quick Actions Effectively

With Selection

1. Select the text you want to act on
2. Open Cicero Intern
3. Click the appropriate Quick Action
4. Review and accept the changes

Without Selection

Some Quick Actions work on your entire document:

• Summary can summarize the whole document
• Search works independently of selection
• Draft generates new content based on document context

Combining Quick Actions

You can use Quick Actions as starting points:

1. Click Summary to get a document overview
2. Ask follow-up questions based on the summary
3. Use Edit on specific sections identified

When to Use Quick Actions vs. Custom Prompts

Use Quick Actions when:

• You have a common, straightforward task
• You want the fastest possible workflow
• The preset action matches your need

Use custom prompts when:

• You have specific requirements
• You need to combine multiple actions
• You want more control over the output

Quick Actions and Context

Quick Actions automatically consider:

• Your selected text (if any)
• The surrounding document content
• The type of block you're in
• Your previous conversation

This context awareness means Quick Actions produce relevant results even with minimal input.

Keyboard Workflow

For maximum speed:

1. Use keyboard shortcuts to select text
2. Press the AI button shortcut
3. Click a Quick Action
4. Use keyboard shortcuts to accept/reject

This keeps your hands on the keyboard for a seamless editing experience.
