About 4 months ago, I asked for beginner tips on Raycast so that I could start trying it out. I'd heard some people talk about how helpful it was, but just downloading it, I didn't really know where to start or how to get the most out of it.

Well, 4 months later, it is an integral part of my workflow now. I'd actually say it's one of the most impactful apps I use (the other being @Aqua Voice) in terms of really improving my overall work. I use it now for so many things every day, and I've gotten it set up to be incredibly fast and efficient for what I need. I think I would feel very slow and disorganized going back to not using it.

@Apple just announced the new macOS Tahoe 26, which included the "biggest Spotlight update ever." From the outside, it feels like they essentially built Raycast into Spotlight.

Raycast's CEO, @thomaspaulmann reacted in a long-form X post. This quote really struck me:

Just saw this announced on X! Here's a longer demo video:

@Raycast just launched Raycast AI Lite a glimpse of what Raycast AI offers right in your browser:

• Choose from 24+ models from @OpenAI @Anthropic @Perplexity and more

Raycast keeps adding new models every week.

I use @Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet when coding and @OpenAI's o3-mini when speed matters. Curious what works best for the community.
