Generative context menus

Based on your selection and situation, context menus can help you discover actions and access them quickly.

A screenshot of a text excerpt titled "Philosophical Perspectives on Love," with a highlighted section discussing Plato's views on love as a motivation for individuals, referencing his "Symposium." To the right, a context menu with options like Copy, Print, Read aloud, and other suggestions is visible. The background is pink.
Human needs

When I make a selection, I want the context menu to understand the context and suggest actions quickly, so I can discover and access relevant options.

Considerations
  • Context-Aware Action Suggestions: If a user selects something the system should quickly understand the context and suggest bespoke actions.
  • Shortcuts for Idea Exploration: Creating shortcuts to these actions improves explorations of ideas on what to do next possibly inspiring new ideas.
