# Save and Reuse AI Prompts in the Side Panel


The Prompts tab in the Kortex side panel keeps your saved prompts. A prompt is the message you type to an AI. Click one to put it in the chat box on the page. If the page has no chat box, Kortex copies it instead.

## Why use the Prompts tab?

It works like a recipe box. You write a good recipe once, then use it whenever you need it.

## How to use a prompt

1. Open the page with the AI chat, such as ChatGPT or Gemini Notebook.
1. Open the side panel and click **Prompts**.
1. Click the prompt you want. It is put in the chat box on the page.

A small word flashes on the prompt: **Inserted**. If the page has no chat box, the word is **Copied**, and you can paste it where you like.

## How to find a prompt

- Type in **Search prompts**.
- Choose a folder in the **All Folders** list.
- Choose a tag in the **All Tags** list.
- Click the star button to show only your favourites.

## How to add a prompt

1. Click the **+** button beside the search box.
1. Fill in the **Title**. Pick a **Folder** and add **Tags** if you like.
1. Optionally write a short word in **Shortcut**. Then typing `;` and that word in any chat box puts the prompt in.
1. Write the prompt in **Prompt Content**. A word in double curly brackets, like `{{topic}}`, is a blank you fill in each time.
1. Click **Save Prompt**.

## How to edit or delete a prompt

1. Click the three dots (**⋮**) on the prompt.
1. Choose to preview, edit or delete it.
1. When you edit, click **Save Prompt**. To remove it, click **Delete**.
