Raycast on the iPhone bears the same design language as the Raycast app on Mac. When you open the Raycast app on the iPhone, you will see a text box and a voice button at the bottom. At the top of the page, all of your AI are shortcuts to see conversations, notes, snippets, and quick to see. The middle part can be adapted to add any AI or RECAST Action Shortcut you want.
By default, you will talk to Raycast AI using your ray model of the app, which is based on GPT-4. But you can tap on the model button to switch to any available model, including any custom AI model you may have made on Mac. You can also add attachments, follow up questions, and a lot.

Ways to go
And all this is still there. Currently, the Recast iPhone app thinks that most of Mac is a partner for more powerful recast utility on Mac. According to an interview with the recast co-founder Petr Nicolev (through) Ruckus) The goal for the recast app was to keep something in front of the recast users and see how they react. Developers plan to build on top of this foundation using feedback from users. If the Raycast app is successful on the iPhone, they also plan to create an Android app (A) Windows app Already in work).
Currently, the recast shortcut supports the framework that makes it easy to open AI chat and other features directly from the control center, or lock screen. But this is not the same as changing Siri or Spotlight Search. According to co-founders, they would prefer to bring extensions support in the iPhone app, but Apple’s sandbox environment will not allow it to. However, they are excited about a potential custom keyboard implementation that will allow them to bring some recast features to other apps using the system keyboard.
