# Beta Features

Experimental features you can try today: AI grouping, video embeds, card hands and the command palette.

These are experimental features - we are still working on them, but please try these in your boards and let us know your feedback!

### AI Features

AI features need to be enabled by your Account Owner in [AI Settings](https://spreo.io/manage/ai). You can either choose to use our 3rd party AI providers, or Bring Your Own Keys. Spreo AI uses Anthropic's Claude models. With your own keys you can use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or Azure OpenAI. AI features are available on every plan. If AI is not enabled yet, members can send the Account Owner a request to turn it on. Usage of AI features requires acceptance of the [AI Addendum](https://spreo.io/legal/ai-addendum).

Your data is not used for training models. When you group sticky notes with AI, the text of the notes you selected is sent to the AI provider.

#### AI-Driven Topic Grouping

You can ask Spreo to analyse and group sticky notes for you.

1. Select multiple sticky notes
2. Click the 'Group Under Topics' button in the floating toolbar above the stickies
3. Select "Sort into Topics (Uses AI)
4. Wait for the AI to sort and group your stickies. They will be placed below your current board content.
5. If stickies were in a zone, they will be tagged with the colour and name of the zone they came from.

#### AI Topic Sub-sort

You can ask Spreo to further divide a Topic grouping into more sub-topics. If it can find enough differences or patterns, it will create the sub-group topics below.

### Add videos to your board

![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/wEhLPSRTDuhd61395hZu/blobs/o3eB3cLCkDAczKWGuXwO/image.png)

Paste the link to a video to embed it into your board. Copy either the Youtube link or the MP4 link and paste it directly onto the board with `Ctrl + V`.

The video will appear on your board and can be played / stopped with a single click.

Ctrl + click selects the video so you can move, resize and delete it.

### Card Hands

Card Hands give each participant a private hand of cards at the bottom of their screen, for planning poker and other card-based exercises.

Card Hands are switched on per board. Open the Command Palette (`Ctrl` + `Space`) and run 'Feature: Toggle Hands On/Off'.

With Card Hands on you can use:

* **Card Packs** - packs of cards for participants to draw from, with ready-made sets for Planning Poker, T-Shirts, Numbers (1-12) and Cash.
* **Value Cards** - the cards themselves. Each person holds their cards in their hand until they play them.
* **Drop Zones** - areas on the board where cards are played.

### Slapping

To slap someone, hold the space bar and fling your cursor through their avatar to send them flying (with bonus sound effects). If you find slaps annoying, disable them in the user settings.

### Command Palette

We built Spreo so that all actions on a board can be programmatically executed with commands.

This means that in the future you could script an automated workshop. We're not quite there yet, but for now you can browse examples of the commands that will be available for keyboard ninjas.

**Press the `Ctrl` + `Space` keys (or `Ctrl` + `K`) to bring up the Command Palette.**

![Ctrl + Space to bring up the command palette](https://content.gitbook.com/content/wEhLPSRTDuhd61395hZu/blobs/xFAGOKjDBELJUM2Ax7tp/image.png)

From here you can scroll through the commands, or type to find a command.

This is in very early stages, so we don't recommend doing anything with it beyond browsing the commands. You'd need to know the correct parameters to type for most of the operations.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The command palette is in the very early stages and is experimental, so exercise caution when using it.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.spreo.io/boards/beta-features.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
