Use this page when you want Alter to stay aligned with what you are actively doing in an app.

​
What this does

Current app adds your active window as context. Follow Mode keeps that context updated as you keep working.

Current app

Add your active app in one click when Alter suggests Current Application.

Follow Mode

Keep updates synchronized across turns while you edit and ask follow-up questions.

​
Start in under a minute

1

Add your active app

Open Alter and click Current Application under the prompt box. You can also press Down Arrow, then Enter.
2

Ask a grounded first prompt

Try: “Summarize what I am looking at and suggest the next three actions.”
3

Keep editing and ask again

Make a small change in the app, then ask: “What changed since your previous summary?”

​
Best practices

  • Keep one app in context when possible for clearer answers.
  • Ask follow-up questions instead of re-describing your screen.
  • If results drift, remove context and re-add your current app.
