Learn how to create, import, and use prompts with variables for quick conversation starters

prompts

In MultitaskAI, prompts act as a convenient way to store and reuse predefined text or instructions. They can serve as conversation starters, frequently used tasks, or any other situation where you want to avoid retyping the same instructions repeatedly.

Creating a Prompt

Prompts are easy to set up and will save you considerable time when interacting with the AI:

  1. Access the Prompts Page
    Navigate to the Prompts section at multitaskai.com/prompts.

  2. Add a New Prompt
    Click on New Prompt, then choose a Name and Content. Provide detailed instructions or partial conversation starters as needed.

  3. Save the Prompt
    Click Save to store your newly created prompt and make it accessible in your chats.

Importing Prompts

If you have a set of pre-written prompts from another environment or a previous export, you can import them easily:

  1. Go to Import Tab
    On the Prompts page, click the Import option.
  2. Upload or Paste
    Drag and drop a file containing the prompts or paste the JSON data into the import field.
  3. Confirm Import
    Review the prompts to be imported and click Confirm to finish.

Using Variables in Prompts

Prompts support placeholders for dynamic text replacement, making them highly adaptable:

Hello %name%, welcome to our product. How can I help you with %topic% today?

When you insert a prompt containing placeholders (e.g., %variableName%) into a chat, MultitaskAI will prompt you to fill out each placeholder. This process personalizes your prompt without requiring you to modify its underlying template.

Example Usage

Suppose you have this prompt saved as “Welcome”:

Hello %userName%, thanks for signing up for MultitaskAI! What are your main interests around %primaryTopic%?

When selected, you’ll be asked to provide values for userName and primaryTopic. The resulting message automatically updates with these details before being placed into the chat input.

Managing Your Prompts

Over time, you might accumulate many prompts. MultitaskAI offers features to keep them organized and easy to navigate:

  1. Edit a Prompt
    Select a prompt to update its name, content, or placeholders.
  2. Delete a Prompt
    Remove prompts you no longer need to keep your list concise.
  3. Organize Your Prompts
    Use meaningful or topical names to quickly identify which prompt suits your next conversation.

Tips for Effective Prompts

A few additional considerations will help you get the most out of your prompt library:

  • Keep Them Flexible
    Use placeholders for details like user names, products, or context that often change between chats.

  • Be Descriptive
    Provide enough information in your prompts so the AI fully understands the context, but avoid clutter.

  • Test and Refine
    Periodically use and tweak your prompts to improve clarity, brevity, and relevance.

  • Review Regularly
    Remove or update prompts as your needs evolve, ensuring your library remains efficient and up-to-date.
