What is KeyText

From the Chrome Web Store

Type /shortcuts to instantly paste canned responses anywhere. Smart variables, folders, works in Gmail, LinkedIn, Slack & more. KeyText is an AI text expander for Chrome. Type /intro in Gmail, LinkedIn, Slack, or any text field and your full message appears — then highlight any sentence and let AI rewrite it shorter, more formal, or in another language.

Built for people who send the same message fifty times a week: sales reps, recruiters, support agents, and founders.

Free forever: 15 snippets, every integration, 50 AI actions a month. No card.

🚀 WHAT KEYTEXT DOES

KeyText is a Chrome extension that combines a classic text expander (type a shortcut, get a full message) with native AI for drafting, rewriting, and replying — all inside the text field you're already typing in.

It's built for the people who answer the same prospect, candidate, or customer questions 50+ times a week: sales reps, recruiters, support agents, account managers, founders.

🚀 HOW IT WORKS

1. Create a snippet — pick a trigger like /intro, paste your message, drop in smart variables like {{first_name}}. Takes 30 seconds.

2. Type the shortcut anywhere — in Gmail, LinkedIn... or any text field. Start typing / and a clean dropdown shows matching snippets.

3. Press Enter. Done. Your full reply drops in. Variables highlight for instant fill-in — press Tab to jump between them. Two seconds total, instead of forty-five.

🚀 KEY FEATURES

  • Slash commands: type /intro, /followup, /pricing in any text field
  • Smart variables: {{first_name}}, {{company}}, {{today}}, {{tomorrow}}, custom values
  • AI rewriting: highlight text, get shorter / formal / translated / custom-tone versions inline
  • AI snippet generation: describe a snippet in plain language, AI writes it
  • Auto-reply chat: AI drafts a reply that knows the conversation context
  • Snippet folders: organize by team, project, or use case
  • One-click import: bring your library from Text Blaze, TextExpander, Magical, or a CSV
  • Encrypted sync: snippets sync across your Chrome devices via end-to-end encrypted storage
  • Works offline: expansion works without internet; only AI calls need a connection
  • Analytics: see hours saved per week, most-used snippets, time-to-reply trends

🚀 WHERE IT WORKS

KeyText runs in every standard text field and rich editor on the web within Chrome browser:

🚀 WHAT MAKES KEYTEXT DIFFERENT

KeyText is built differently from Text Blaze, TextExpander, Magical, and Blaze Today in three ways:

  • AI-native, not bolted on — every snippet can be rewritten, translated, or shortened with AI inline. No tab-switching to ChatGPT.
  • Browser-native — no desktop app to install, no admin permission, no IT approval. Works on every site automatically the moment you install.
  • Free forever — 15 snippets, 50 AI actions per month, every integration, no credit card.

**Privacy at a glance.** KeyText is built privacy-first. By default, your snippets are stored only on your device. AI rewriting on Chrome 127+ runs locally via Gemini Nano — nothing leaves your browser. Cloud features (sync, advanced AI) are opt-in and clearly labeled. We do not track your browsing, we do not sell data, and we do not use your snippets to train AI. Full policy: https://keytext.app/privacy

Try KeyText free today. No credit card required. 30-second install. Text Expander.
