Guide has three main panes for configurations and settings—Instructions, Settings, and Account—plus a few global shortcuts.

---

Keyboard shortcuts

• Bring Guide into focus: Ctrl + Alt + G or Alt + Shift + 1
• Stop Guide (cancel speech and actions): Ctrl + Alt + S
• Jump to first chat message: Alt + 1
• Jump to newest chat message: Alt + 9

The shortcuts for bringing Guide into focus and stopping it work no matter which application is in the foreground. The chat message ones require Guide to be in focus.

---

Voice settings

• Select a voice: choose one of the built-in options such as Amelia.
• Use NVDA for speech (experimental): if NVDA is already running when Guide launches, you can let NVDA read responses in its own voice. The checkbox is disabled if NVDA isn’t detected.

---

Assistant behaviour

• Re-maximise Guide window after command finishes: enabled by default.
  • When checked, the chat window pops back to full size once Guide completes an action.
  • Uncheck it if you prefer Guide to stay minimised and so you can go about your business.

---

Version & updates

• The current build appears at the bottom of the Settings pane (e.g. Guide version 2.1.1).
• New updates automatically download while Guide is in use. Once an update is ready, Guide will let you know, as it needs to restart to finish the update.
• If you don't want to wait and are curious if there is an update, you can select Check for updates.

---

Account & subscription

• Logged in as: shows the email currently signed in.
• Log out: switch to a different account.
• Manage subscription: opens the customer portal in your browser.
• Refresh status: refreshes subcription state, try this if you see any errors or you changed your subscription status and want to check.”*
