Slack context
Hey team, quick update: • Auth PR is ready for review • Staging is down, ETA ~1 hour
26+ apps, one hotkey
Voice dictation for 26+ apps, no plugins to install.
Contextli has no per-app API. Press your hotkey in Slack, Jira, GitHub, Notion or anywhere else you write, speak, and Contextli pastes text formatted for the context you picked.
It does not detect which app you are in. You choose the context, from the Context Bar or a hotkey of its own, so the same sentence comes out as a Slack message, a Jira ticket, or a Notion page depending on what you picked.

How an integration works here
Same hotkey everywhere. The context does the adapting.
There is nothing to connect and no account to link per app. These three steps are the same in Slack, Jira, VS Code or your browser.
- 1 · Focus the app
Click into any text field
Slack, Jira, an email, a code comment. Contextli pastes wherever your cursor already is.
- 2 · Pick a context
Choose the format you need
Slack, Email, Technical: Bug Report and 15 more built-in contexts, or a custom one you made. From the Context Bar, or its own hotkey.
- 3 · Speak and paste
It lands, already formatted
Auto-paste is on by default. The text appears where you were typing, shaped for the context you picked.
One transcript, three contexts
The same update, three ways you picked
None of this is automatic app detection. Each output below came from choosing a different context for the same spoken update.
Technical: Bug Report context
Summary: Staging environment is down Status: Auth PR complete, ready for review ETA: ~1 hour to resolve staging
Executive: Meeting Notes context
Done: Auth PR, ready for review Blocker: Staging environment down Owner: me · ETA about 1 hour

What people say about Contextli
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What apps does Contextli work with?
Contextli works with 26+ apps across four categories: Developer Tools (VS Code, Cursor, GitHub, GitLab, Xcode, Linear, Stack Overflow), Productivity (Jira, Asana, Monday, Trello, ClickUp, Notion, Confluence), Communication (Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, LinkedIn, WhatsApp), and Writing & Docs (Google Docs, Medium, Substack, WordPress, Obsidian, Bear). It also works in any other app or text field, because it pastes at the operating-system level rather than through a per-app plugin.
Does Contextli integrate with Slack, Notion, and Gmail?
Yes. Contextli has built-in contexts for Slack, Notion and Gmail, each with its own formatting rules. You pick the context you want, from the Context Bar or a hotkey of its own; Contextli does not auto-detect which app is focused. No browser extension or plugin is required, because the formatted text is pasted directly where your cursor is.
Can I dictate in any app, even ones not on the list?
Yes. Contextli pastes into any app or web page that accepts keyboard input, not only the apps named here. The apps on this page have a dedicated, pre-tuned context. For anything else, pick a general-purpose context or build your own.
What's the best AI dictation tool for switching between apps?
Contextli pairs accurate speech-to-text with context-based formatting you control: pick the context, then Contextli pastes ready-to-use text, ticket format in Jira, Markdown in Notion, a professional email in Gmail, without you cleaning up a raw transcript. It runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android. Cloud processing is the default; an on-device, offline mode is included on the Pro and Pro Plus plans.
How do I connect Contextli to Grok Bot?
Send your Bot this message in Grok Bot: "Add a custom MCP server called Contextli at https://mcp.contextli.com/mcp". Grok Bot adds Contextli as a connector and shows an Authorize card. Click Authorize, sign in to Contextli, and Grok Bot can search, read, save and label your voice notes right away. On grok.com, go to Connectors, choose New Connector, then Custom, and paste the same URL.
Do I need a separate plugin for each app?
No. Contextli installs once on Mac or Windows and pastes into whatever app is focused from that single installation, no browser extensions and no per-app add-ons. You switch contexts inside Contextli itself, either from the Context Bar or a hotkey you assign to a context.
Try it in the app you have open right now.
