Want to be an Alter Master?
We created a new Youtube Playlist called “Work with Alter” where we share all our secrets on how to user Alter. Let us know what you think about it :)
Hey everyone,
We've been working hard to make Alter faster than ever, both client and server side, no matter where you live.
This new release is all about speed, so we did a fun little benchmark because (Alter) actions speak louder than words!
We also introduce two new features
🎨 Quick access to your transcripts
Access your transcript history is now quick and easy. Just type ‘>’ in your Prompt box and here we go.
Very useful to load multiple transcripts at once!
💡 Meetings weekly recap
Every Monday morning, we start the week by asking Alter to recap all our internal transcripts to refresh our memory of what we discussed the week before
🎯 Clipboard feature for Alter Actions!
See it in action, we did a video!
What is the Clipboard Feature?
The clipboard feature is a powerful new addition that allows Alter to access and process text directly from your system clipboard.
Instead of relying solely on text selection, you can now work with any content you've copied, creating seamless workflows across your entire system.
Key Benefits
Universal Text Access: Works with content from any application
Reliable Text Capture: Guarantees the exact content you want to work with is processed
Global Shortcut Integration: Create powerful automation workflows
Application Independence: Perfect for apps where text selection is problematic
Example of use cases
Grammar Correction Workflow: Create a lightning-fast workflow
Web Scraping with Firecrawl: Automatically scrape and analyze the website when adding a URL in your clipboard
Code Analysis: Get analysis without formatting issues
