How do I run a Raycast command by voice?

Goal

Start a Raycast command by saying its name at the avatar.

Before you start

• Raycast is installed on this Mac.
• AI access is set up.
• Expert view. The switch is in How do I switch between Simple and Expert?

Steps

1. Settings, Actions & workflows, the Raycast tab. The page is in Expert view.
2. Card Installed extensions (bridge). The box Offer installed Raycast extensions as commands automatically is checked by default. Nova then reads your installed extensions, read only, and shows the number: “… commands from installed extensions”.
3. Use the field below to check whether a command is there. A word such as speedtest is enough.
4. A name of your own goes in the card Raycast commands, field Command list. One line: Name = Deeplink. Get the deeplink in Raycast: pick the command, ⌘K, Copy Deeplink.
5. Blocked extensions takes one extension per line, by name or title. Nova does not start those commands.
6. Say the name at the avatar. The word Raycast is optional.
7. Nova starts the command without a card. That is why it only starts what is in these two cards, and never makes up a link.

Example

“Maximize window.” — “Start speedtest.”

Common problems

• Above the search field it says Raycast not found. Nova looks for Raycast in /Applications and ~/Applications.
• Nova does not know the command. It is neither in the Command list nor among the installed extensions, or its extension is blocked.
• The Command list only accepts links that start with raycast:// or raycast-x://.
• A newly installed extension is missing. Nova reads the extensions again when their folder changes, otherwise after five minutes at most.
