AI Command Bar

The AI Command Bar is the primary way to interact with Kiaro. Instead of clicking through menus and filling out forms, you type what you want in plain English and Kiaro handles the rest.

Getting started

When you log in, you land on the AI Home screen, a centered command input with smart suggestions tailored to your workspace. Type anything or click a suggestion to get started.

You can also press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) from any page to open the command bar.

What you can do

Ask questions

• “How many active projects do I have?”
• “What’s my utilization this week?”
• “Show me all overdue invoices”
• “How’s the budget looking on the Spotify project?”

Create things

• “Create a new client called Acme Corp”
• “Set up a website redesign project for Disney at $25k”
• “Add 5 tasks to the brand refresh project”
• “Log 2 hours on the design task”

Multi-step commands

• “Onboard Acme Corp as a client, set up a branding project at $15k, and break it into tasks”
• “Invoice Disney for all uninvoiced time this month”

Kiaro chains multiple actions together automatically.

Draft communications

• “Draft a status update for Client X”
• “Follow up on the overdue invoice for Client Y”
• “Draft a re-engagement email for Client Z”

Get insights

• “What needs my attention today?”
• “Which clients haven’t been contacted in over 2 weeks?”
• “What’s my most profitable project type?”

How confirmation works

When the AI needs to create, update, or delete something, it shows you a preview of exactly what it plans to do. Each action appears as a card with the details. Nothing happens until you click Confirm & Execute.

Read-only queries (searching, viewing data, asking questions) execute immediately, no confirmation needed.

Smart suggestions

The AI Home screen shows contextual suggestions based on your actual workspace data. These aren’t generic, they’re specific to what’s happening right now:

• Overdue invoices that need follow-up
• Uninvoiced billable time ready to bill
• Stale clients you haven’t contacted recently
• Tasks due this week
• Projects approaching their budget limit
• Contracts about to expire

Click any suggestion to send the command directly to the AI.

Slash commands

Type / in the command bar to see pre-built prompts for common actions:

/overview, start your day in 30 seconds

Type /overview and press Enter. Kiaro scans your workspace and gives you a prioritized briefing: overdue invoices, due tasks, hours logged this week, project budget warnings, and clients you haven’t contacted recently. It prioritizes by what will cost you money or reputation if ignored.

Keyboard shortcuts

Manual mode

The AI Command Bar doesn’t replace the traditional interface. Every feature, clients, projects, tasks, invoices, time tracking, is still accessible through the sidebar navigation. Use whichever approach you prefer, or mix both.
