How to Use Rithere

A complete step-by-step guide to setting up and mastering Rithere's global AI shortcuts.

01

Install and Launch

Download the latest version of Rithere from our website and run the installer. Once installed, launch the application. You will see a minimalist settings window where you can manage your AI prompts.

Sign in with Google on first launch. That syncs your prompts and settings across your devices and authenticates AI requests, so you never have to supply an API key of your own.

Create Your First Prompt

In the Rithere dashboard, click on "Add Prompt" and fill in the details: a memorable name (e.g., "Fix Grammar"), the system prompt that tells the AI what its job is, and the action — whether the AI should replace your highlighted text or append the answer below it.

Be specific in the system prompt. Asking it to "return only the corrected text, with no preamble" is what keeps the result clean enough to leave exactly where it lands.

03

Assign a Global Hotkey

For each prompt you create, assign a unique hotkey combination (e.g., Alt + Shift + G). Press Record, then press the keys you want.

Make sure it's a combination that doesn't conflict with the shortcuts you already use in your other applications.

Put it to the Test

Now that Rithere is running in the background, you can use it anywhere. Open any application — Microsoft Word, Notepad, Slack, Chrome — type some text or highlight existing text, then press the hotkey you assigned in step 3. Rithere processes the text and types the result directly into your application.

Pro tip: Rithere simulates keystrokes to type the response. For best results, don't click away or switch windows while it's typing.
