Why not just ask the bot to do something? I'm using it daily and don't have to spend more than 5 seconds thinking of a "prompt". The only exception is function calling (or whatever they call structured output these days), but that is simply embedded in my or other people's programs that call the API.

I asked it for a solution and it told me to export the data and use a search indexer like typesense / InstantSearch.

Simple. If you're using an Apple device, go to Settings → Keyboard → Text Replacement → Add Your Prompt. For example, Replace: !rw With: "Rewrite this using simple words: {your_content}" So, whenever I type "!rw", it replaces the text with "Rewrite this using simple words: {your_content}". You don't need to switch between multiple tabs, use an extension, or refer to the documentation again and again.

Use autokey for linux and friends.

% apt install autokey-gtk

I tried it when it was new and found it impressive and cute as a gimmick and intriguing from a technical/scientific point of view. Since then I haven't found any uses for it and stopped using it altogether.

I never even tried it. I cannot conceive of a single thing I'd want to talk to an LLM about, or a single question on which I care about an LLM's answer.
