# 1. About KeyText

KeyText is an AI-native text expander. You type a short trigger like `/sig` and KeyText replaces it with a longer block of text — an email, a reply, a code template, a canned response. AI features can generate new snippets from a description, rewrite text in place (tone, length, grammar), draft auto-replies, suggest the right snippet for the context, and auto-fill forms.

**Key facts:**

- **Category:** Browser productivity extension (text expander, snippet manager, canned-responses tool)
- **Maker:** Digital Medium, an independent software studio
- **Platform:** Google Chrome on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chromebook (Manifest V3, Chrome 88+)
- **Default trigger prefix:** `/` (configurable per user — also `;`, `,`, `!`)
- **AI model:** OpenAI `gpt-4o-mini`, routed through KeyText's API. Prompts and responses are not retained and are not used to train any model.
- **Storage:** Snippets live in `chrome.storage.local` (read-through cache) with Supabase as the source of truth, synced across every Chrome you sign into.
- **Pricing:** Free, Pro $4.99/mo ($44.99/yr), Team $3.99/user/mo ($31.99/user/yr, 3-seat minimum). Custom tier in development.
- **Manifest version:** Chrome MV3

**One-sentence positioning:** KeyText is the AI-native text expander for Chrome — works on every website, generates and rewrites with AI, and is free to start with no card on file.

**What KeyText does in one paragraph:** Most people retype the same 30–60 phrases every day — email greetings, replies, signatures, decline-meeting notes, support replies, recruiter outreach, code boilerplate. KeyText replaces all of that with short triggers (e.g. `/intro` becomes your full introduction email). It runs on any text field on any website. The AI layer adds three things ordinary expanders don't: it generates a new snippet from a description, rewrites anything you've typed to change tone or length, and drafts personalised auto-replies that you can refine through chat.

**Who builds it:** KeyText is built by Digital Medium, an independent software studio. Founder Sam is the active developer. Updates ship weekly.

# 3. Features

KeyText's features divide into two layers. The **base layer** is classic text expansion: type a trigger, get the long-form text. The **AI layer** is what makes KeyText different from older expanders.

## 3.1 AI snippet generation

Describe what you want; KeyText writes the snippet.

Open the snippet editor, click **Generate with AI**, and type a description like "polite meeting decline that proposes two alternative times next week." KeyText generates a draft body in clean prose with `{{variable}}` placeholders for the dynamic parts (recipient name, dates).

- Powered by OpenAI `gpt-4o-mini` via KeyText's API
- Output is editable before save — AI is a draft, not a commitment
- Counts as 1 AI action

## 3.2 Inline AI rewriting

Select text anywhere on the web, click the floating KeyText pill, and pick a rewrite mode. The text is replaced in place.

**Built-in rewrite modes:**
- **Professional** — sharper, business-appropriate tone
- **Friendly / Casual** — warmer, more conversational
- **Confident** — drop hedging, project authority
- **Apologetic** — sincere accountability without performative apology
- **Shorten** — cut words without losing meaning
- **Lengthen** — add detail and structure
- **Grammar** — corrections only, no style change
- **Paraphrase** — restate the meaning with different wording
- **Humanize** — make AI-generated text sound natural
- **Custom** — your own free-form instruction ("translate to French", "make this more direct", "match this tone")

Counts as 1 AI action per rewrite.

## 3.3 Auto-reply chat

Open an email or message thread, click KeyText's reply pill, and KeyText drafts a reply. Refine it through a chat dialog ("shorter", "more formal", "drop the sign-off") — each turn returns the full updated reply, not a diff. When you're happy, paste it in with one click.

- Conversation history capped at 10 turns
- Format-aware: emails get greeting / body / sign-off blocks; chat-style DMs get a compact reply

## 3.4 Context-aware suggestions (`suggest`)

When you're about to compose a reply, KeyText can pick the most relevant snippets from your library based on the active page or thread context and offer them in a dropdown.

## 3.5 AI form auto-fill (`fill`)

Given a page and a list of `{{variable}}` slots in your snippet, KeyText infers likely values from page context and pre-fills them. You review before insertion.

## 3.6 Custom AI prompts (Pro)

Save your own rewrite prompts — "match the tone of our brand guide", "convert to Markdown", "rephrase as a casual Slack message" — and call them by name from the rewrite menu. Pro users get a personal library; Team admins can share prompts across the whole team.

## 3.7 Snippet library & triggers

Every snippet has:

- **Trigger** — what you type to invoke it (`/sig`, `/intro`, `/reply`)
- **Title** — short label for the dashboard
- **Body** — the full text with `{{variable}}` placeholders
- **Folder** — for organisation (3 default colours: Sales / Support / Personal)
- **Variables** — auto-extracted from the body when you save

**Variable syntax:** Double curly braces, `{{first_name}}`, `{{company}}`, `{{today}}`. At expansion time KeyText prompts you to fill each one, tabbing through placeholders.

**Trigger prefix:** Defaults to `/`. Configurable per user to `;`, `,`, or `!` to avoid collisions with Slack/Discord slash-commands or Notion's block menu.

**Folders & color tags:** Tree structure with color-coded organization.

**Search:** Filter by trigger, title, or body content.

## 3.8 Team library (Team plan)

Team admins can share snippets and AI prompts across the whole team. Per-role permissions:

- **Admin** — full control: invite, change roles, edit team snippets and prompts, manage billing
- **Sub-admin** — invite members and edit team snippets / prompts
- **User** — view-only access to shared library

Shared snippets and prompts show a "Team" badge in the popup and the creator's name + avatar.

## 3.9 Floating launcher

A small KeyText pill anchors to the right edge of every page with a drag handle, quick access to settings, and a `/`-menu trigger. Per-site disable (this site only), session disable (this tab only), and global disable (everywhere) are all one click away and sync across devices.

# 7. Documentation

## 7.1 Quickstart (5 minutes)

### Step 1 — Install (30 seconds)

1. Visit keytext.app or the Chrome Web Store listing
2. Click **Add to Chrome**
3. Approve permissions
4. The KeyText icon appears in your Chrome toolbar

**System requirements:**
- Google Chrome (Manifest V3, Chrome 88+)
- Any operating system Chrome runs on
- ~5 MB extension size

### Step 2 — Sign in

KeyText syncs your snippets across devices. Click the toolbar icon, choose **Continue with Google** (one-tap) or sign up with email + password. New accounts get a starter snippet library (Sales / Support / Personal folders) seeded automatically.

### Step 3 — Create your first snippet

1. Open the popup
2. Click **+** to add a snippet
3. **Trigger:** type `sig` (the `/` is implied — adjust prefix in settings if you prefer `;` or `,`)
4. **Title:** "Email signature"
5. **Body:** paste your signature
6. **Save**

Go to Gmail. Type `/sig`. Watch it expand.

### Step 4 — Try AI rewriting

In any text field, type something rough. Select it. The floating KeyText pill on the right edge opens a rewrite menu. Pick **Professional**, **Friendly**, **Shorten**, **Lengthen**, or type a custom instruction. The text is replaced in place.

### Step 5 — Try AI generation

Open the snippet editor, click **Generate with AI**, and describe what you want: "polite meeting decline that offers two alternative times next week." KeyText drafts a body with `{{variable}}` placeholders for the dynamic parts. Edit, save, use.

### Step 6 — Five high-value starter snippets

| Trigger | Expands to |
|---|---|
| `/sig` | Your email signature |
| `/email` | Your email address |
| `/cal` | Your calendar booking link |
| `/phone` | Your phone number, formatted |
| `/addr` | Your business address |

## 7.2 AI features

### Available tasks

| Task | Use | API endpoint |
|---|---|---|
| `generate` | Draft a new snippet from a description | `POST /v1/ai` |
| `rewrite` | Tone / length / grammar on selected text | `POST /v1/ai` |
| `reply` | Auto-reply chat — iterative drafts of a reply | `POST /v1/ai` |
| `suggest` | Pick the best snippets for the current context | `POST /v1/ai` |
| `fill` | Infer values for `{{variable}}` slots from page context | `POST /v1/ai` |

All tasks route through KeyText's API to OpenAI's Chat Completions (`gpt-4o-mini`).

### Caps and rate limits

| Plan | Monthly AI | Daily AI | Per-request RPM | Concurrent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 50 | 20 | 30 | 3 |
| Pro | 2,500 | 150 | 30 | 3 |
| Team | 3,500 / user | 175 / user | 30 | 3 |

Monthly counters reset on the 1st (UTC); daily counters reset at 00:00 UTC. Hitting a cap returns a clear error in the popup with the reset time — no surprise overages.

### What's sent and stored

- **Sent:** the minimum prompt the task needs (e.g. the text to rewrite plus a short instruction).
- **Not sent:** browser identifiers, page URLs, snippet metadata.
- **Not stored:** prompts and responses are not retained or used for training, per the OpenAI API agreement KeyText operates under.

## 7.3 Snippets & triggers

### Trigger conventions

- **`/` (default):** `/sig`, `/intro`, `/follow`. The shipped default.
- **`;` (alternate):** if `/` conflicts with Slack slash-commands or Notion's block menu, switch to `;` in Settings.
- **`,` or `!`:** also supported as configurable prefixes.

### Variable syntax

Variables use double curly braces: `{{first_name}}`, `{{company}}`, `{{today}}`. Auto-extracted from your snippet body when you save.

At expansion time, KeyText prompts you to fill each variable, tabbing through placeholders in order.

### Folders

- 3 default folders seeded on first sign-in: **Sales** (orange), **Support** (green), **Personal** (grey)
- Drag to reorder
- Color is a visual tag; not enforced

### Snippet limits (Free)

- 15 personal snippets
- 3 personal folders
- Team-shared snippets and folders don't count against your personal cap

## 7.4 Keyboard shortcuts

| Action | Default |
|---|---|
| Open KeyText search popup | `Ctrl+Shift+S` (Windows/Linux) · `Cmd+Shift+S` (Mac) |

Customisable in Chrome's extension shortcuts settings (`chrome://extensions/shortcuts`).

Snippet expansion itself is keyboard-triggered: type your prefix + trigger + space/enter in any text field. No global shortcut needed.

## 7.5 Sync, backup & migration

### Cross-device sync

- All tiers sync automatically across every Chrome you sign into
- Source of truth: Supabase (PostgreSQL backend)
- Read-through cache: `chrome.storage.local` — popup paints from cache on open, refreshes from server in the background

### Export

- Dashboard → ⋯ → Export → JSON file with snippets, folders, prompts

## 7.6 Troubleshooting

### Snippet won't expand

1. Check the trigger spelling and your trigger prefix (Options → Trigger prefix)
2. Confirm KeyText is enabled on this site (floating launcher → per-site toggle)
3. Some sites use custom editors that need a per-site adapter — email hello@keytext.app with the URL

### AI is returning errors

1. Check your monthly + daily AI counters in the popup status bar
2. If you've hit a cap, the popup will show the reset time
3. If you're rate-limited (30 RPM), wait a minute and retry

### Sync isn't working

1. Confirm signed in to the same Google account / email on each Chrome
2. Open the Options page — the Account card shows your plan and sync status
3. If snippets created on one device aren't appearing on another, reopen the popup on the second device (forces a fresh sync)

# 8. Privacy & security

KeyText is designed privacy-first. Defaults assume your snippet content is sensitive.

**Snippet storage:**
- Source of truth: Supabase (PostgreSQL) — accessed only by KeyText's API with a service-role key
- Browser cache: `chrome.storage.local`, scoped to your Chrome profile
- KeyText does not share snippet content with third parties
- Account deletion wipes server-side rows and clears local cache

**AI processing:**
- All AI tasks route through KeyText's API to OpenAI's Chat Completions (`gpt-4o-mini`)
- Prompts and responses are not retained or used for training
- Quota usage is logged for billing purposes only (counters, not content)

**Page content access:**
- KeyText reads the active text field's value when you expand a snippet or invoke a rewrite. That's it.
- The floating launcher can be disabled per-site, per-session, or globally — your choice syncs across devices.

**Authentication:**
- Google OAuth or email/password (via Supabase)
- Failed-login lockout: 5 attempts per hour
- Passwords: 8-character minimum, hashed by Supabase Auth

**Telemetry:**
- KeyText collects: anonymous usage counts (snippet expansions, AI quota usage) for billing and quota enforcement
- KeyText does not collect: snippet content, trigger names, page URLs, page content

**Compliance:**
- **GDPR:** EU data subjects can request export or deletion at hello@keytext.app
- **CCPA:** No sale of personal information. California residents can request deletion at the same address.
- **HIPAA / SOC 2 / DPA:** in scope for the upcoming Custom tier (in development), not the current Free/Pro/Team tiers

**Security disclosure:** email hello@keytext.app. We acknowledge within 48 hours.

# 9. FAQ

### What is KeyText?

KeyText is an AI-native text expander Chrome extension. Type a trigger like `/intro` and KeyText replaces it with your full introduction email. AI features can generate new snippets, rewrite text in place, and draft auto-replies.

### Is KeyText really free?

Yes. Free tier: 15 snippets, 3 folders, 50 AI actions per month. No card on file, no ads. Pro ($4.99/mo) lifts the snippet/folder caps and gives you 2,500 AI actions/month plus custom saved AI prompts and usage analytics.

### How does the AI work?

Every AI task (generate, rewrite, reply, suggest, fill) goes through KeyText's API to OpenAI's `gpt-4o-mini`. Prompts and responses are not retained, not used for training, and only the minimum prompt the task needs is sent.

### Does KeyText send my snippet content to AI?

Only when you explicitly invoke an AI action on that content (rewriting selected text, generating a new snippet, asking for a reply). Snippet expansion itself never calls AI — it's pure string substitution.

### What's the default trigger prefix?

`/`. You can change it to `;`, `,`, or `!` in the Options page.

### Does KeyText work in Gmail?

Yes — compose, reply, inline reply, chat. No Gmail-specific setup.

### Does KeyText work in LinkedIn?

Yes — DMs, InMails, comments, post drafts, LinkedIn Recruiter project messages.

### Does KeyText work in Salesforce?

Yes — Classic and Lightning. Activity logs, case notes, Chatter, email templates.

### Does KeyText work on Chromebook?

Yes. KeyText is a Chrome extension; it runs identically on Chromebook, Windows, Mac, and Linux Chrome.

### Does KeyText work in native macOS / Windows apps?

No. KeyText is a Chrome extension, so it only runs on websites — including Gmail, Outlook on the web, Slack web, Discord web, Notion web — but not in native applications.

### Does KeyText work on mobile?

Not yet. Chrome extensions don't run on iOS or Android Chrome.

### What variable syntax does KeyText use?

Double curly braces: `{{first_name}}`, `{{company}}`, `{{today}}`. Auto-extracted from your snippet body on save.

### Can I share snippets with my team?

Yes, on the Team plan ($3.99/user/month, $31.99/user/year, 3-seat minimum). Shared snippet and AI-prompt libraries, role permissions, team analytics dashboard, volume discount at 10+ seats.

### What about SSO / DPA / on-prem?

In scope for the Custom tier (in development). Email hello@keytext.app for status and early access.

### How is KeyText monetised?

Subscriptions only. No ads, no data sale, no referral kickbacks. The free tier is funded by Pro and Team subscriptions.

### Who builds KeyText?

Digital Medium, an independent software studio. Founder Sam is the active developer; updates ship weekly.

### How do I report a bug?

Email hello@keytext.app with Chrome version, OS, repro steps, and a screenshot if relevant.
