📌 Managing Prompts for LLMs

If you often work with AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini, text shortcuts can make prompt management much easier.

This keeps your workflow consistent across different AI platforms and saves time.

Filling out online forms and surveys can be tedious, especially when they ask for the same information repeatedly. Use shortcuts to input your name, address, or other details.

📌 Code and Programming

Web developers and programmers can streamline their workflow using shortcuts for frequently used code snippets. This minimizes the chances of errors and accelerates the coding process.

📌 Social Media Management

Whether you're a social media professional or an avid user, craft consistent and engaging messages across various platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp Web, and others) with snippets for hashtags, replies, or product promotions.

📌 Academic Research

Students and researchers can create text shortcuts for complex terminology or commonly used phrases. It's a valuable aid for maintaining consistency in academic writing.

Customer support agents can improve response times and accuracy by creating shortcuts for canned responses to frequently asked questions. Provide top-notch service without the repetitive typing.

Looking for a way to finally close that text file you keep open and just hope your computer doesn't restart and you lose it? Look no further, this little extension will help you keep from doing the copy/paste hokey pokey. Pro tip: pick shortcuts you'll actually remember - because "was it ;email1 or ;em1?" moments are real! It took me a couple of weeks using it before I decided to get the subscription, and let me tell you their tech support was faster than you can type 'help'! Here is what I think the extension would be best for: * Those in sales and/or marketing who are constantly copying and pasting email * Those who are using AI prompting and you're not able to have all the instructions preset Long review short, this extension really knows how to expand your options while shrinking your effort!

Jerome Juliano
does what i need it to do
Tom Leamon
There's another extension that lets you save reusable prompts for ChatGPT. It's limited to only 2 at a time unless you pay, and only lets you insert it at the beginning of a message. It also is probably heavily data collected/monitored. This is superior for that same purpose in every way imaginable.
Paul Fryer
👋 estate agent here. This saves so much time by storing templates that you can then adapt. It's such a good extension.
Makarim Susilo

This extension is an outstanding time-saver for typing across any platform on the web, whether it’s Gmail, WhatsApp, Facebook, or others. I’ve also configured it to add graphic emoticons, like smileys, thumbs-up, and thank-you icons, with simple keystrokes, and they work seamlessly. The support provided by the developer is exceptional—any feature-related issues are promptly addressed. Many thanks to the developer for creating such a fantastic tool!

Klaas Adinant
It's good but it requires you to refresh the web page every time you created a new snippet. It's getting annoying!
Dan Fox
Doesn't work on GDocs unless I refresh the site. I don't want to waste time refreshing every time I add a new snippet.
