Go To Any Screen
Navigate to any page, settings section, or report by typing its name. The command palette includes every screen in the app — over 130 destinations — with fuzzy search that tolerates typos.

Ask Bella AI
When your search looks like a question (starts with “how”, “what”, “who”, etc., or contains a question mark), the command palette automatically shows a quick AI answer from Bella AI. You can then continue the conversation in the full Bella AI panel.
Examples:
- “Who’s working tomorrow?”
- “How do I set up online booking?”
- “What was this week’s revenue?”
AI quick answers, search, and navigation are all available on all plans.
