1. Install Embedding model:

  • For English: ollama pull nomic-embed-text (fastest)
  • For other languages: ollama pull bge-m3 (slower, but more accurate)

2. Select Embedding provider in plugin's settings and try to use the largest model with largest context window.

Default actions

  • Continue writing
  • Summarize text
  • Fix spelling and grammar
  • Find action items in text
  • General help (just use selected text as a prompt for any purpose)
  • New System Prompt to create actions for your needs

Community Actions

You can browse and install community actions directly from the plugin settings.

Automatic Updates: Community actions are automatically updated to the latest version. To stick with a specific version or preserve your changes, simply modify the Prompt or System Prompt. This will disable auto-updates for that action. Note: Changing the Name of the action does not disable auto-updates.
