pre-written canned responses to emails essentially. you type out a default/standard response for something which you can then quickly copy and paste via a keybind.
So it only really applies in a business environment if you’re getting emailed the same stuff daily. it’s a very niche tool that you pay for.
Others point to paying for text expanders, but a simple free one is Espanso.
I use it in combination with nvim and bash scripts to set up large HTML templates and latex math formulas as well as much else to save on repetitive typing.
Getting creative with espanso and nvim can be quite satisfying, especially if you code.
looks like a subscription based extension / service for canned responses.
eg typing :pricing produces some canned response about whatever pricing you provide, with some tokens filled with recipients name etc.
I guess it could be handy for some tasks, but paying for it? eeeh.
For static expansions (no placeholders that change) I just use Compose key sequences, it’s free and it works out of the box on pretty much any linux variant.
What is text expander?

Ahh gotcha, yes makes sense. Sounds like something I usually hit with a bash script, repeats with inputs.
