The @tana_inc "Ask AI" command we found earlier, can also be used in our own commands. Let's create an example of this to scratch one of my itches: summarising a webpage.

We start again, by creating a new node. Title it "Summarise URL", and CMD+K → "Convert to command node"

Then add "Make API request", this is a very powerful one, but for now we are just using it to get the contents of a webpage. We also set the "Parse result" to convert the HTML to Tana paste, and we set the "Target node".

We set the URL to ${name}: the value of the current node.


We do this last step to ensure the contents of the page are cleanly placed into @tana_inc, and because we want to remove them later (we are only interested in the summary).

Next, we add the "Ask AI" command to summarise the "Content" field we just filled, and set its model.

Finally, we remove the "Content" field again. And now we can CMD+K on any URL to summarise its contents underneath it!

Commands are immensely powerful building blocks to create advanced features in @tana_inc yourself.
