Raycast – Notis | Help Center

With the Raycast integration, you can seamlessly interact with Notis directly from your desktop to delegate to Notis without breaking your flow.

Installation Process

Prerequisites

Raycast installed on your Mac

Step-by-Step Installation

Go to the Raycast Store and find the Notis extension

Install the Notis extension

Launch Raycast and input your API key (which you can request from Notis)

Open the Notis menu bar command that loads the background extension responsible for sending and receiving messages from Notis

Using the Raycast Integration

Sending Messages to Notis

To send a message to Notis, you can use the "Send message to Notis" command in Raycast. This allows you to quickly communicate with Notis without having to switch applications and break your flow.

Viewing Notis Messages

There are two ways to view messages from Notis:

Use the "View Notis message history" command in Raycast

In the menu bar, select the Notis icon and either click "Play last audio response" or "View message history"

Other features

In the message history, easily retry an instruction, play audio, or copy Noti's response.

Extension Settings

Audio Response Settings

You can enable "Auto play audio responses" in the Raycast Notis extension settings. When enabled, audio will play automatically as soon as Notis responds to your request.

FFmpeg Requirements

For Notis audio responses to work, you need to have FFmpeg installed on your system.

The easiest way to install FFmpeg is using Homebrew:

brew install ffmpeg

If FFmpeg is not installed on a standard path, you can specify the path to FFmpeg in the Notis extension settings.

Limitations

Message queuing logic is not as robust as for the other channels. You might have to retry requests if they fail because Notis was already busy working on a task.

Troubleshooting

Audio Responses Not Working

Ensure FFmpeg is properly installed: brew install ffmpeg

If FFmpeg is installed in a non-standard location, specify the path in the extension settings

Check that your system's audio output is working correctly

Connection Issues

Verify your API key is entered correctly

Ensure you have an active internet connection

Check that the Notis background extension is running
