#### Writing Bro – Your AI-powered writing companion

**Writing Bro** is the ultimate keyboard-driven writing companion that instantly polishes your text with smart corrections, style improvements, and custom prompts – all without disrupting your workflow.

No matter where you write – in your browser, text editor, email client, or any other app – Writing Bro seamlessly integrates into your system:

1. **Select text** in any application.
2. **Launch** Writing Bro **with a keyboard shortcut**.
3. Your text is instantly sent to the AI for corrections or transformations.
4. **Copy the result** with `Ctrl+C` and return to your app with `Esc`.
5. **Paste the improved text** back with `Ctrl+V`.

**Why you’ll love Writing Bro:**

* **Lightning-fast workflow** – no switching windows or breaking focus.
* **Custom prompts** – quickly switch between prompts (1–9 keys) or create your own.
