⌘K opens any page or runs any action. The slash menu adds any block.

See pricesHow does Rodeo AI use my data?
Rodeo's AI runs on models hosted in Microsoft Azure: Claude through Azure AI Foundry, with Azure OpenAI as a fallback. Writing help and answers run only when someone asks for them. To answer questions about your workspace, Rodeo keeps a search index of page text, and an answer only draws on pages the person asking can already open.
