# Prompt Library for NotebookLM and AI Chats


A prompt is a message you send to an AI. The Prompts page keeps the ones you reuse, with folders, tags and shortcuts. Type ; and a shortcut in a chat box on Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) or any AI site to insert one.

## Why keep prompts here?

It is like a recipe box. You write a good prompt once, and use it again in any AI chat box.

## How do I open it?

Click **Prompts** in the dashboard sidebar. The page is the same as the Prompts view in the Chat Library.

## How to save a prompt

1. Click **New prompt**.
1. Give it a title and type the prompt.
1. If you like, add a short shortcut, a folder and tags.
1. Save it.

To use it, type `;` and the shortcut in the chat box of an AI site. Your prompts also show in the side panel and in other places.

## Good to know

- You can put blanks in a prompt, so Kortex asks you for the part that changes.
- The **⋯** menu has import, export and recently deleted prompts.
- When you generate a briefing, you can pick a saved prompt with **Select from Library**.

All the details are on the [Prompts in the Library](/docs/library-prompts) page.

## Where else can I use my saved prompts?

- The side panel has a Prompts tab. Click a prompt to put it in the page's chat box.
- Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` on Windows, or `⌘⇧P` on a Mac, on any site to open the Prompts panel.
- On a notebook page, the **Prompts** button in the Kortex bar opens the same prompts.
- Right-click a chat box and choose **Insert a Kortex prompt**.

## Can I import prompts I already have?

Yes. **Import prompts…** in the **⋯** menu reads a Kortex export, a JSON list, or a CSV file with a prompt column. Prompts with the same text are skipped.
