Creating AI prompts

Create custom prompts for the AI to follow. Prompts can be used on messages (to analyze or respond) or on drafts (to edit or improve your text).

Where you create a prompt determines where it appears in the UI.

Message prompts

Message prompts analyze incoming messages. Access them from the message menu.

Click Prompt... to open the prompt editor:
