Designing quick action menus for AI interfaces

AI experiences benefit from offering users quick action shortcuts that streamline common tasks across different interaction modes. These action menus provide efficient ways to modify, refine, or transform AI-generated content without requiring extensive instructions.

When designing these action menus:

• Keep options limited to the most frequently needed actions
• Use single, clear verbs that communicate the transformation
• Show examples of what each action does during onboarding or in tutorials

These quick actions reduce the need for long instructions and make common changes faster, helping users move smoothly between creating content and improving it.
