Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: 31.0.3 RC1

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently when you want to translate or modify text that you come across on your device, you still need to copy-paste it manually to the Assistant.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be much nicer if this is tighly integrated, e.g. via the context menu.
Marked text could be sent directly to the Assistant like this example on Android:

We have quite a lot of AI "endpoints".
I think it is not possible to show all of them in this quick text actions.

So we could either have

• a generic "share to AI" and then within our app user can decide what to do with the text
• only a "translation"

[janepie]

Hmm maybe both? one "share to AI", one "translation" as the second one is a rather specific one and I guess would be used more often

@jancborchardt ^ wdyt?

[jancborchardt]

Yeah, I think both would be nice indeed. Wording-wise, we never really say "AI", so best would be "Share to Nextcloud Assistant" although that would be a bit long.

So it could be:

• "Nextcloud Assistant"
• "Nextcloud Translate"

This is to separate it from the possible Google Translate entry which is also just called "Translate" (see above in my screenshot).
