AI Quick Actions 

AI Quick Actions streamline routine transformations by surfacing one-click, AI-powered suggestions within CKEditor. Users can enhance, refine, or analyze selected text instantly, or send it to Chat for deeper exploration.

Integration 

  1. Load the AIQuickActions plugin in your CKEditor configuration.
  2. Add the Quick actions menu (aiQuickActions) to either the main toolbar or the balloon toolbar. Follow the toolbar configuration guide for placement details.
  3. Optionally expose individual shortcuts (e.g., ask-ai, improve-writing) or entire categories such as Adjust length or Change tone for faster access.

Types of Actions 

Actions that open Chat

These push the selection into the Chat panel, optionally with a pre-filled prompt.

Examples: - ask-ai – Opens Chat with the selected text as context. - summarize – Opens Chat and auto-generates a summary request.

Actions that open a popup

These display an AI proposal in a contextual popup with Accept, Reject, and Re-run options.

Examples: - continue - make-shorter
