Clipboard Buddy

Clipboard Buddy (clipbud) is a cross platform utility that interacts with your system clipboard and augments it with AI capabilities. You can register a set of custom action prompts and recall them at any time on your clipboard contents using a custom global hotkey. The power of this mechanism is that it works with any application since it reads and writes directly from and to the system clipboard. Avoid repetitive copy/paste to and from your LLM!
