📘 Guide: Using and Creating Prompts

Welcome to the Promptly Guide. This page covers everything you need to know about building and managing your prompt library.

➕ Creating Prompts

1. Click the + (Plus) icon in the top toolbar.
2. Title: Give your prompt a descriptive name.
3. Body: Enter the prompt text. You can use Smart Variables here (see below).
4. Tags: Add tags to categorize your prompt.
5. Folder: Select a folder to keep things organized.
6. Click Add Prompt to save.

🧪 Smart Variables

You can make your prompts dynamic by using curly braces: {{variable_name}}.

• Example: Act like a {{expert_type}} and write a blog post about {{topic}}.
• When you click to copy this prompt, Promptly will show a modal asking you to fill in 'expert_type' and 'topic'.
• This saves you from manually editing the text every time!

• Search: Use the search bar at the top to filter by title or tag.
• Favorites: Click the 'Star' icon on a prompt to pin it for quick access.
• Expand: Click the 'Chevron' or the preview text to see the full prompt body.

🔗 Sharing
