Clipboard Extension

Work with your computer's copy/paste clipboard.

Built-in

This extension is always available and requires no setup.

What You Can Do

Read Clipboard

Get copied text:

See what's currently in your clipboard.

Example requests:

  • "What's in my clipboard?"
  • "Read the clipboard"
  • "Show me what I copied"

Write to Clipboard

Copy text:

Put text into your clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere.

Example requests:

  • "Copy this summary to my clipboard"
  • "Put the invoice number in my clipboard"
  • "Copy the email address"

Append to Clipboard

Add more text:

Add content to what's already in your clipboard.

Example requests:

  • "Add this line to my clipboard"
  • "Append the total to my clipboard"

Workflow Examples

Collecting information:

  1. "Read my selected email"
  2. "Copy the customer name to my clipboard"
  3. Switch to another application
  4. Paste (Ctrl+V)

Building a list:

  1. "Copy 'Meeting attendees:' to clipboard"
  2. "Append John's email"
  3. "Append Sarah's email"
  4. "Append Mike's email"
  5. Paste the complete list

Quick data transfer:

  1. "What's in my clipboard?" (after copying from another app)
  2. DeskAgent can now work with that text

Text Only

The clipboard extension works with text only. It cannot:

  • Handle images
  • Handle files
  • Handle formatted content (bold, colors, etc.)

When you copy formatted text, you'll get the plain text version.

Tips

  1. Quick paste: After DeskAgent copies something, just press Ctrl+V in any application.

  2. Preserve content: Reading the clipboard doesn't clear it.

  3. Combine with other tasks: "Summarize this email and copy the summary to my clipboard"
