Prompts
Prompts turn one question into a repeatable workflow. SpotAsk includes four built-in prompts: Translate, Explain, Summarize, and Polish.
Use a prompt
In the question window, choose a prompt before sending:
- With content in the input, selecting a prompt sends it immediately.
- With an empty input, select a prompt, enter your question, then press
↩.
Create a custom prompt
- Open Settings > Prompts.
- Select New.
- Give the prompt a clear Name, such as "Rewrite an email".
- Write the Content that tells the model what to do with the provided text.
- Save it.
Custom prompts appear in the same picker as built-in prompts. Use the up and down buttons to control their order.
Enable and disable prompts
Turn off prompts you do not want to see. Disabled prompts are not available in the question window, keyboard shortcuts, or system shortcuts.
Prompt shortcuts
The first enabled prompts get ⌘ + 1 through ⌘ + 9 by default. Prompt order changes the assignment. You can reassign or clear prompt shortcuts in Settings > Shortcuts.
Custom instructions
Settings > Prompts also has Custom Instructions. This is a system-level instruction applied to your questions. Use it for a consistent tone, output format, or working style.
Selection default action
When the Selection Assistant uses Run default action, the default is the first enabled prompt unless you choose a different one in Settings > Selection Assistant.
