Choose a workflow

Start with the result you want: text in a field, an answer, a file change, a small interactive tool, or a visual board. Nock exposes different workflows for those outcomes. The examples below are instructions to try when the feature is available in your build; they are not recorded demonstrations or guarantees of a particular result.

Put your words into another app

Choose Dictation when you already know what to write. Click a text field, hold Fn / Globe, speak a short sentence, and release. The expected result is a transcript inserted into that field.

Review the words before submitting them. Dictation is not an instruction to the agent to carry out the sentence. If text misses the field, use Paste last transcript after restoring focus.

Improve text that already exists

Choose Selected text when the source text is already in a supported editable field. Select a paragraph, use Agent Mode, and ask for a specific change such as “Make this paragraph shorter while keeping the dates.”

Check the replacement in the original app. If it is wrong, use that app’s Undo. For a message draft, inspect whether Nock produced a draft card or performed an edit; neither should be confused with a confirmed send.

Ask a question or investigate what you see

Choose Agent Mode for explanation or a task. Hold the configured agent shortcut, ask the question, and release. If the subject is a particular screen element, use Pointing and describe what you need to understand.

Look for a response or result card, and answer any pending approval deliberately. If screen access is unavailable, provide the relevant text yourself. A voice acknowledgment is not proof that an external action completed.

Change a code project

Use Coding agents for a bounded project task. Name the project, describe the desired change, and specify checks, for example: “In this project, investigate why the settings test fails, propose a focused fix, and run that test.”

Expect a task surface with progress, questions, and a result. Inspect the actual diff and test output before accepting the work. Use the task’s stop control to interrupt work; starting a new conversation does not automatically stop a running worker.

Make a small interactive tool

Use Widget builder for a compact utility such as a timer or calculator. Describe the controls and expected behavior, inspect the preview, test it, and keep it when satisfied. A preview with sample data is not evidence of a live service connection.

For a richer saved preview, explore Studio. Verify data sources and connection access separately from the appearance of the generated interface.

Arrange information visually

Use Glass Canvas for a board containing notes, links, drawings, and other supported items. Make a board, add a small set of content, then use Canvas workflows to organize or export it.

Inspect exported content before sharing; it may include private material or remote embeds. Choose a saved copy before a large revision when you need to preserve the earlier board.

If an expected step is unavailable, check Account, Availability, and the workflow’s troubleshooting guide before switching modes at random.
