Are you saving AI Prompts inside TextExpander?

I’ve started using TextExpander to collect and quickly reuse my go-to AI prompts. It’s been a handy way to stay consistent and save time. I’m curious: are any of you doing something similar?

If so, you might be a great fit to test some of the new AI capabilities we’ve been building. We’re getting close to putting them into the hands of early adopters, and your feedback would be incredibly valuable.

Also, I’d love to know which models you’re using most often. We’re planning a “bring your own model” approach, so understanding which platforms and tools you’re spending the most time with will help shape what we build next.

Increasingly using AI for my business needs but until recently, did not consider there were “go to” AI prompts. I write each prompt now to meet a specific need. I primarily use ChatGPT subscription model but also occasionally use Claude or Gemini. Would love a forum to share useful prompts for document analysis. I’m a trial lawyer and find AI very useful in analysis of long documents, summarizing pleadings for clients, brain-storming legal issues, and even improving my German with the voice capabilities of AI. I’m intrigued by how TE might incorporate AI.

I have not saved this one as a Snippet yet, but it’s a potentially life-changing GPT prompt:

Now that you can remember everything I’ve ever typed here, point out my top five blind spots

OpenAI recently upgraded GPT so it remembers all of your previous conversations, so it knows a lot about you if you use it a lot. I’m still chewing on everything it told me.

Like @GerardGeiger I use AI (ChatGPT and Adobe AI) every day in my law practice. I also haven’t delved too deeply into “prompt engineering.” I can see how TextExpander can be an excellent tool to store prompt templates.

I use ChatGPT to help me create JavaScript snippets in TextExpander. I use the pasteboard object in TextExpander, which ChatGPT often forgets about. Now, that I’m thinking about it, this is something that I can include in my prompt going forward.

@jd-mullin I would love to try the new AI capabilities you have been building when you are ready for testers.

Thanks!

Fantastic, we will get you on the alpha/beta wait list and probably reach out for a potential research call as well if you are up for it, Gerard.

Hi Hani, the cool thing is our solution not only can help you save and re-use prompts, it can write new ones for you as well. It’s pretty cool. We will get you on the alpha/beta wait list and probably reach out for a potential research call as well if you are up for it.

I can’t speak from a legal standpoint, but I have had good results using the “ping pong” prompt. It’s a multi-step process to have AI craft your prompt. I have saved both prompts as snippets in TextExpander. Below is a video that explains it as well as a link to the doc.

Thank you for sharing the video. I don’t have a problem with prompts when I’m using ChatGPT 4.0 because I’ve taught ChatGPT about me using memories. The memories are always almost full, and I delete old or stale ones when ChatGPT says I’m out of memory.

I’ve struggled with creating custom GPTs because they don’t know about me or my preferences. I think learning how to create better prompts will be useful for these going forward.

Thanks!
