There's a few keys on my keyboard that are really worn out.

It's the shortcut to summon Alice. On macOS it's `⌘⇧D`, on Windows — `Ctrl+Shift+D`.

## Why This Shortcut Matters

Why is this shortcut so important it deserves its own article?

Because every tool has an _activation moment_ — that "aha!" moment when users really get the value. A few examples:

- **Instagram**: Uploading your first photo that gets a like
- **Spotify**: Creating your first playlist
- **Airbnb**: Booking a place cheaper than a hotel

These small wins make people come back.

## Alice's Activation Moment

We discovered that Alice's activation moment is when you summon her using the shortcut. Remembering it — and using it instinctively when you need help — is _the_ key to boosting productivity.

What matters most is that when you're about to do something Alice can help with, you remember she's ready and just a shortcut away.

## Customizing Your Shortcut

Of course, you can change the shortcut at any time via `Settings → General`. If it's not working, it might be used by another app — just assign a different one.

## Pro Tip: Screenshots for Context

One more tip from my own workflow: often you'll want to give Alice some context, like a message you're replying to. Instead of copying the text — take a screenshot.

On macOS, my favorite shortcut is for partial screenshots to clipboard. You can set it in `System Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts → Screenshots` (mine is `⌘⇧W`).

After hitting the shortcut, select the screen area, call up Alice (`⌘⇧D`), paste (`⌘V`) — and boom. Alice has the context. Now just write your reply and send it.

## Start Building the Habit

From now on, try using `⌘⇧D` (or whatever shortcut you set) _a lot_, even excessively.

That's how you seriously level up your productivity!
