## The problem

Repetitive switching and typing eats your day in small bites.

## How Plexii handles it

SpeedDeck is a panel of buttons on a desk that open apps and websites, press shortcuts, type text and run multi-step macros. SpeedDeck AI can suggest macros you approve.

In short: Put a macro pad on any desk: buttons that open apps, type text and run multi-step macros. Your routine, one click.
