Slash commands

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

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

  • /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

  • /summarise 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.
