The request, posted to kagifeedback.org, argues the contextual action would speed up iterative research by making it trivial to quote, question, or cross-reference parts of an AI-generated answer.", "body_md": "**Summary:**\n\nIntroduce a quick-action shortcut when highlighting text directly inside Kagi Assistant's own text outputs (e.g., \"Ask\") to seamlessly query or reply to a specific snippet.\n\n**Current Limitation:**\n\nWhen reviewing a response from Kagi Assistant, if a user wants to drill down into a specific claim, sentence, or term mentioned in the model's output, they have to manually copy the text, clear or open a new prompt, and paste it back in with a follow-up question.\n\n**Impact on Workflow:**\n\nAdding a contextual action right on text selection within Assistant responses would drastically speed up iterative research, making it trivial to quote, question, or cross-reference specific parts of an AI-generated answer.\n\n[Ratik's reply and recommendation for a new post, for reference](https://kagifeedback.org/d/11242-select-text-and-search-in-assistant/8)\n\n**Screenshot (web, desktop)**\n\n**Use Case / User Flow:**\n\n**Precedents / Inspiration:**", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/add-ask-text-selection-shortcut-assistant-mobile-app", "canonical_source": "https://kagifeedback.org/d/11527-add-ask-text-selection-shortcut-assistant-mobile-app/1", "published_at": "2026-09-19 14:24:15+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-19 14:53:04.234716+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-search"], "entities": ["Kagi", "Kagi Assistant", "kagifeedback.org", "Ratik"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/add-ask-text-selection-shortcut-assistant-mobile-app", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/add-ask-text-selection-shortcut-assistant-mobile-app.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/add-ask-text-selection-shortcut-assistant-mobile-app.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/add-ask-text-selection-shortcut-assistant-mobile-app.jsonld"}}
