Use AI slash commands to get writing help from Plain AI directly in the composer, no context switching needed.
AI slash commands in Plain

How it works

While drafting a reply in a support thread, start a new line with / followed by your instruction, then press Enter. Plain AI will reference the last 5 messages in the thread alongside whatever you have already written in the composer, and replace the composer content with a ready-to-edit draft. Slash commands work for:
  • Drafting a reply from scratch
  • Editing or rewriting something you have already written
  • Adjusting tone, length, or clarity

Examples

These are examples. You can give it any prompt:
  • /fix typos
  • /ask for a screenshot and workspace ID so we can debug
  • /ask what version of the SDK they are using
  • /rephrase this to sound more helpful
  • /summarize and confirm the issue before escalating

Things to know

  • The slash command must be on its own line at the top level of the composer. It will not trigger inside a list or block element.
  • The AI response replaces the entire composer content, including any text you had written before the slash command.
  • Only the last 5 messages in the thread are included as context. Earlier messages in a long conversation will not be referenced.
  • If the request fails, you will see a “Failed to generate or edit message” notification. Retry by typing the command again.
  • Requires Plain AI to be enabled in your workspace settings.
