what is wrong in this code

I run your script and I get what I expected.

I guess you know that:

• You’d need a Sleep command before the SendInput lines in order to let your browser to open the Copilot web page.Try with Sleep 2000 and then decrease the 2 seconds timer if it’s too high.
• The appropriate text box to input the prompt should have the focus, so the string after SendInput goes to something meaningful.
• And finally, you’d need to press an Enter button to actually run the prompt. SendInput {Enter} will make it.

What do you expect that is not happening?

Thank you for your reply

I need the term and the prompt to be written to get the answer from Copilot

-----------------

; Example AHK script to achieve the desired functionality
; When Ctrl+F6 is pressed while text is highlighted, a menu pops up with prompts to choose from

^F6::
    ; Get the highlighted text
    Clipboard := ""
    Send ^c
    ClipWait, 1

    ; If text is not empty, show the menu
    if (Clipboard != "")
    {
        Menu, MyMenu, Add, Define/Explain the highlighted term, DefineExplain
        Menu, MyMenu, Add, Translate the highlighted into (Language - Arabic), TranslateArabic
        Menu, MyMenu, Add, Suggest synonyms of the highlighted, Synonyms
        Menu, MyMenu, Show
    }
return

DefineExplain:
    ; Send the prompt to Copilot
	Run, https://copilot.microsoft.com/
Sleep 1000
    SendInput define and explain the highlighted term
SendInput {Enter}
return

TranslateArabic:
    ; Send the prompt to Copilot
	Run, https://copilot.microsoft.com/
Sleep 1000
    SendInput Translate the highlighted into (Language - Arabic)
SendInput {Enter}
return

Synonyms:
    ; Send the prompt to Copilot
	Run, https://copilot.microsoft.com/
Sleep 1000
    SendInput suggest synonyms of the highlighted with examples of use
SendInput {Enter}
return

I couldn’t see the video in this forum, but I downloaded and watched it in local mode.

First, the 1000 ms timer is too short. The web page is not opened yet when the SedInput commad kicks in. Set the timer parameter of Slepp at least to 4000 and see what happens. 

Second, the text box doesn’t have the focus. It works for me if I press SHIFT+TAB 4 times.

Taking this into account, the following script works for me:

DefineExplain:
    ; Send the prompt to Copilot
    Run, https://copilot.microsoft.com/
    Sleep 4000 ; needed to let the browswer to open the webpage
    SendInput {Shift down} ; Hold the SHIFT key down
    Loop 4
    {
        SendInput {Tab}
        Sleep 200
    }
    SendInput {Shift UP} ; Free the SHIFT key
    SendInput define/explain the highlighted term
    SendInput {Enter} ; to run the prompt
return

Not tested heavily though…

You will need to do the same with TranslateArabic and Synonyms labels.

I found Copilot preview in the Tray

could you please modify the code to launch Copilot Preview instead of the Browser

I’m sorry, I don’t use Copilot and I don’t know how to open it from the Tray.

I discovered a better way to do something very similar, but it uses OpenAI (via the API), instead of Copilot. It's AHK, so very easy to add custom prompts. You can basically create prompts to do anything you can imagine, and the results are instantaneously pasted at your cursor. I wrote a short article about it @ https://beijer.uk/blog/two-autohotkey-scripts-to-select-amp-process-text-with-the-chatgpt-api .

I also made a quick screencast: app.screencast.com/R9t6kwyrl5225

Thanks for sharing that Michael... very cool.  Good that it uses V2 as well as I'm already having problems trying to convert every script I ever had from V1.  Didn't expect it to be that hard, but it is when you're not a developer!

Thank you very much for sharing your Bot

I found this 

https://github.com/ecornell/ai-tools-ahk/releases

AI Tools - AutoHotkey - Enable global hotkeys to run custom OpenAI prompts on text in any window.

The default hotkeys and prompts are set to the following:

Ctrl+Shift+j - (Auto-select text - Fix spelling) - Auto selects the current line or paragraph and runs the "Fix Spelling" prompt and replaces it with the corrected version.

Ctrl+Shift+k - (Auto-select text - Prompt Menu) - Auto selects the current line or paragraph and opens the prompt menu.

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+k - (Manual-select text - Prompt Menu) - Opens the prompt menu to pick the prompt to run on the selected text.

Best

I've found various LLMs (especially Claude-3.5-Sonnet) are actually pretty good at converting AHK v1 to v2!

Cool, thanks for the tip. Yes, there are many of these little tools now (on GitHub), often based on AutoHotkey, which allow you to do some pretty amazing things via the OpenAI API.
