Prompts
Learn how to create, import, and use prompts with variables for quick conversation starters
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:
-
Access the Prompts Page
Navigate to the Prompts section at multitaskai.com/prompts. -
Add a New Prompt
Click on New Prompt, then choose a Name and Content. Provide detailed instructions or partial conversation starters as needed. -
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:
- Go to Import Tab
On the Prompts page, click the Import option. - Upload or Paste
Drag and drop a file containing the prompts or paste the JSON data into the import field. - 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:
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”:
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:
- Edit a Prompt
Select a prompt to update its name, content, or placeholders. - Delete a Prompt
Remove prompts you no longer need to keep your list concise. - 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.
