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.

#42Simple. 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

#44Well somebody could integrate some form of Algolia/Typesense style search function into their own chat GUI, but I don't think that's a very defensible endeavour in itself - it would take OpenAI or Perplexity hours to integrate such functionality into their GUI.

#45I 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.

#47Would be nice if you ask the same question twice, it would look in previous "stored questions" or not for your previous answer if you need to reuse an old answer. I found it tedious to look for an old answer I need in old conversations.
