The Ask AI Agent button

Backend top bar with the Ask AI Agent button and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+K
  • Ask AI Agent sits in the center of the backend top bar and is available in every backend module. It is provided by AI Foundation (ns_t3af), not by the AI Accessibility module alone.
  • The button shows the keyboard shortcut. The default is Ctrl+Shift+K (Windows, Linux) or Cmd+Shift+K (macOS), which keeps Ctrl/Cmd+K free for TYPO3 Live Search.
  • The AI Accessibility entry in the left module menu opens the standalone T3AA tabs (Dashboard, AI Alt Text, Scans, and so on). That is separate from the Ask AI Agent chat window.
