Initial Screenshot Or Message

An assistant action can start with a predefined user message, a screenshot, or both. This is useful when a trigger should immediately ask the assistant to process something without waiting for manual input.

Examples:

  • capture a selected screen region and ask the assistant to describe it
  • send the current clipboard text for summarization
  • run a fixed prompt whenever a Stream Deck button is pressed
  • attach a screenshot before a computer-use task starts
