Productivity Commands
Productivity commands take something long and unstructured - meeting notes, a message thread, a spec - and give you back the part you actually need. Select the text, press the shortcut, and the result opens in a popup so your original stays intact.
Action Items is the workhorse: paste or select raw notes and get a task list with owners and deadlines where the text implies them. Brainstorm expands a one-line idea into angles you had not considered. PRD Gen turns a rough feature description into a structured document you can edit rather than start from a blank page.
These pair well with the writing commands. Extract the action items from a call, then run Slack Answer on the result to post a summary that reads like a person wrote it. Each command is editable, so you can shape the output format to whatever tool you paste into.
Commands
Action Items
eEchoo⌥AExtract clear action items, owners, and deadlines from any text.
Use Action Items after meetings, calls, or long Slack threads to pull out every task, decision, and open question into a structured checklist. It identifies owners and deadlines mentioned in the text and formats everything as markdown checkboxes. Ideal for turning messy meeting notes into a clear list your team can act on immediately.
Brainstorm
eEchoo⌥BGenerate multiple creative ideas and approaches for any topic or problem.
Use Brainstorm when you are stuck on a problem, exploring a new initiative, or need multiple angles on a topic fast. It generates five to eight distinct ideas ranging from quick wins to ambitious bets, each with a punchy title and actionable explanation. Perfect for product planning sessions, marketing campaigns, or any creative challenge where you want diverse options to evaluate.
PRD Gen
eEchoo⌥PGenerate a Product Requirements Document from a feature idea or brief.
Use PRD Gen when you need to transform a rough feature idea into a structured product requirements document. It covers problem statements, user stories, scope, success metrics, and open questions. Perfect for product managers kicking off a new feature or engineers who need to write lightweight specs.
ELI5
eEchoo⌥EExplain any concept, paragraph, or document as if you're talking to a curious 12-year-old - using everyday analogies and zero jargon.
Use ELI5 when you encounter a dense paragraph, technical concept, or jargon-heavy document and want it explained simply. It breaks down any topic using everyday analogies and zero jargon, ending with a clear one-line summary. Ideal for learning new domains, explaining technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders, or making sense of legal or financial text.
