Six deliberate context routes
Selected textCarry the exact passage you highlighted
ScreenshotUse a relevant visual from the screen
FileWork with a local document or PDF
Web pageMount the page you are reading
HistoryRecover a completed Alder result
LibraryReuse material you deliberately saved
Context belongs to an explicit take
Attaching material does not silently change Dictation into Command. Alder freezes the accepted context set when the take stops, keeps attachment order stable, and treats missing material as an explicit partial result or failure rather than pretending the complete context was used.
Use context without rebuilding your workspace
- Dictate a note that incorporates two selected excerpts.
- Ask a question grounded in the PDF already open on your Mac.
- Turn several web pages and screenshots into one email plan.
- Attach a saved Library item to a later Command.
Start with the context surface you need
Ask about the screen or build reusable private context in Library.
