How to create and use custom AI prompts to generate summaries and more
What are custom AI prompts?
AI prompts are saved instructions you give to the AI. Use them to automatically create summaries, action items, reports, insights, or any custom text output.
- Extract exactly what you want from transcripts in your specified format
- Automate repetitive analysis tasks
- Generate consistent, structured results
How to create your first AI prompt
1. Go to the AI Prompts page
In the app, click on Prompts in the sidebar.
2. Click “Create your first prompt”
This opens the prompt editor.
3. Fill in your prompt details
- Name: Short label (e.g. “Marketing Summary”)
- Description: Brief description of the prompt
- Content: Instruct what you want the AI to do (e.g. “Summarize this transcript with a focus on campaign outcomes and action items.”)
- Be detailed! Try to be as detailed as possible of how you want the output to look like.
- Describe the structure, format and language you'd like
- You can choose from some presets to get you started
- Select a preset and change it to your liking
