Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the keyboard shortcut for the Writing Helper?

Yes! The default shortcut is Command-Shift-K (Mac) and Control-Shift-K (Windows, ChromeOS). To change it, click the puzzle piece icon in the Chrome toolbar and then select "Manage Extensions". On the Extensions page click "Keyboard Shortcuts" in the left navigation menu. You can change the shortcut there.

How do I see what version of Ask Steve that I have installed?

Click the puzzle piece icon in the Chrome toolbar and then select "Manage Extensions". On that screen you can see all your installed extensions. Click on the "Details" button for Ask Steve and you will see the version number.

Logging in with my Google account isn't working?

When you press the Login with Google button, a new popup window will open that will enable you to login with Google. Make sure you have popups enabled in your browser and that the popup isn't hiding behind another window.

Will Ask Steve still work when my QuickStart requests run out?

No. You will need to put in a free Google Gemini or Mistral La Plateforme API key to continue using Ask Steve. Or subscribe to our Premium plan if you'd like to connect to a paid model, an on-premise model, a local model, or a non-model API.
