Raycast AI: skills, memory and coding agent overview

This overview presents Raycast AI Chat's skills, memory and tool access. The speaker says Raycast scans existing skill folders and lets users add folders in settings. It can load relevant skills automatically, while naming a skill explicitly requests its use.

Chat organization includes pins, folders and an optional auto-archive setting. The memory feature combines a written profile with information drawn from recent conversations every few hours. Users can import memory from other providers, ask Raycast to remember something during a chat, or disable memory in settings.

For long conversations, the speaker describes background summaries of earlier messages. Attachments are saved to files so the model receives the relevant portions. Tools can also load automatically, with approval for each call or ongoing permission that users can revoke.

The speaker presents Raycast as a coding assistant when paired with a terminal extension, describing website creation, app work, file operations and generating Raycast extensions. Pro users can sync conversations with iOS and Windows, although some tools do not work on every device.

The walkthrough also covers keyboard commands for model selection, chat branching and floating windows. Screen awareness sends a window snapshot to the chat as context.
