Core Usage Concepts

Mastering the interface between voice, vision, and automation.

Interaction Modes

Passive Mode (Always Listening)

Coral AI runs in the background. Simply speak natural commands. No wake word is needed if "Continuous Mode" is enabled in settings.

Active Mode (Focus)

When the UI is open, Coral prioritizes your voice over system audio. Use this for dictation or complex multi-step workflows.

Vision Capabilities

Coral doesn't just hear; it sees. You can ask questions about anything visible on your monitors.

  • Contextual Analysis: "Summarize this article" implies the text currently on screen.
  • Visual Debugging: "Why is this code throwing an error?" (Coral reads the terminal output).

Workflow Automation

Coral connects applications. It can take output from one app and paste it into another.

"Take the data from this Excel sheet, format it as a JSON object, and save it to a new file in VS Code."
