Our Test
Hands-on notes from our editorial team.
<p>✅ Our Test
⬇️ Download and Install the App First, we downloaded an app from the official website. Then, we installed a DMG file into our applications. During this process, we received a free license key to start with a Free Plan. ### ⬇️Use Hotkeys After that, in the app's main menu, we clicked on the “Preferences” button, and the preferences window appeared. There, on the hotkeys page, we learned some hotkeys and performed some of them on the prepared earlier text.We just highlighted the text and performed the “Continue writing”, “Fix grammar” and “Repurpose content” hotkeys. The last one allowed us to transform our text style to better fit social platforms such as Twitter and LinkedIn. 
### ⬇️ “Ask Elephas” Then, we asked Elephas to perform a command. To test this feature, we entered the web page of one of our YouTube videos. On this page, we called the floater menu using one more hotkey, and there was a suggested command, “Summarize YouTube video”. We clicked on it, and Elephas generated an accurate video summary. 
### ⬇️Use Workflows The last feature we tested was a new feature named “Workflows”. It allowed us to utilize an algorithm of actions. We selected the simplest default one, the “Web Search” workflow (Made of 2 action agents).To start with this workflow, we triggered it through the super-chat’s textbox using the “@” symbol followed by a workflow name. Then, we wrote a topic and sent the entire message. Superchat made two actions: performed a web search and remembered information so we could ask tailored questions and get accurate insights.
