Spending time prototyping an action menu for Whimsical. The current idea is to offer a mix of stochastic and deterministic actions, based upon the context. Context is usually the page but can also be the selection.
Many AI actions benefit from dialogue. It’d be nice to also offer suggested next steps when appropriate, for one-click convenience.
The menu can be docked out of the way too. I’m thinking it’d be magnetically attracted to the corners, so that it docks nicely. The shape could get thinner & taller to suit. Adding physics, so that it could be flicked into a corner, would be 💅🏽.
One thing I’m on the fence about: should the actions be treated as messages to the user, or suggestions in the textbox?
