Working with Saved Prompts

Updated in the last hour

📘 This article explains how to use and create reusable prompts in Botify Assist. Botify Assist is available with any Botify plan.

Overview

Predefined prompts created by Botify, yourself, and your team help you get started quickly in Botify Assist. These saved prompts are stored in the Prompt Library, where you can reuse the prompts that you know work well for your routine tasks, share them across your team, and reduce the time to create effective prompts from scratch.

There are three types of saved prompts:

  • Botify: These prompts can help you get started quickly with common SEO, GEO, and AEO analysis tasks. You cannot edit or delete Botify saved prompts, but you can duplicate them to customize them.

  • Team: These prompts are created by you or a member of your Botify project team. Only the team member who created a Team saved prompt can edit and delete it.

  • Private: These are the saved prompts you create; they are not visible to anyone else.

Using saved prompts

Access saved prompts directly from the Prompt Library or within an Assist chat.

  1. Navigate to Assist > Prompt Library to find all saved prompts; or

  2. From the text box in an Assist chat, access the list of saved prompts by either:

    1. Pressing / on your keyboard, and typing part of the name or scrolling the list; or

    2. Clicking the + icon, and then selecting Saved prompts.
      ​

  3. Click the prompt name or expand the three-dot menu, then select Use prompt. If the prompt contains variables, you will need to identify values before you can use the prompt.

Managing saved prompts

You can take the following actions with saved prompts, depending on the type:

Duplicating saved prompts

Duplicating saved prompts is useful for creating new prompts based on existing ones, and for customizing Botify saved prompts and Team prompts created by other team members, since they are not directly editable. You can duplicate saved prompts from the Prompt Library or within an Assist chat.

  5. Click Create.
    ​

Alternatively, use the method defined in the Using saved prompts section to locate the prompt to duplicate.

To edit a saved prompt:

  1. Navigate to Assist > Prompt Library.

  2. Click the saved prompt card to open it, then click the Edit button at the bottom; or

​Finding saved prompts

You can find saved prompts from an Assist chat, as shown in the Using saved prompts section, and in the Prompt Library. The saved prompts list in the Assist chat displays prompts in the order in which they were saved.
​

Use the following features to locate saved prompts in the Prompt Library:

  1. Search: Type a saved prompt name or portion of a name.

  2. Sort: Display by prompt names in alphabetical order or by the most recently modified prompt first.

  3. Filter by tag: Display only the saved prompts that are assigned to specific tags. Tags group saved prompts by category (see the Creating saved prompts section).

  4. Filter by visibility: Display only one type of saved prompt (i.e., Botify, Private, or Team).
