Shortkut

Shortkut is a browser-level writing assistant rather than a standalone app. Once the extension is installed, an icon sits in the Chrome toolbar and a set of user-defined shortcut triggers become active on the pages you visit. The pitch is simple: rather than opening a chatbot in another tab and copy-pasting text back, you fire a prompt in place and let the generated text land exactly where you are typing.

The extension leans on generative language models and a shortcut system. You define prompts for the formats you write most often — a blog generator, a tweet writer, a follow-up email creator — assign each a trigger, and reuse them indefinitely. Because the model reads surrounding context, output attempts to match the tone of what is already on the page, which matters for replies and edits to existing drafts.

The listing describes encrypted transmission, no resale of personal data and regular updates. Shortkut is distributed solely through the Chrome Web Store as a lightweight extension; there is no separate desktop app or account portal, and the published build dates from mid-2023.
