Saved prompts and actions

If you ask Chat the same kind of question again and again, save it as a prompt. Type / in the Chat field and your prompts are listed, under Papero's built-in actions. Picking a prompt puts its text in the field, so you can change a word or two before you send it.

Saved prompts work the same on Free and Plus. They belong to your account, so you see the same list in every document.

  1. If you already typed the question, leave it in the Chat field. A new prompt starts from it.
  2. Press More, the ⋯ button in the Chat header, and choose Saved prompts.
  3. Press New prompt.
  4. Give it a Title, the short name you will see in the list, and check the Prompt, the text that goes into the field.
  5. Press Save.

If the title or the text is empty, Papero says Give the prompt a title. or Write the text of the prompt. You can keep a limited number of prompts. When you reach it, Papero says so: delete one to add another.

  1. In the Chat field, type / and a word from the prompt's title or text.
  2. The list shows the matching actions first, then Your prompts.
  3. Pick a prompt with the arrow keys and Enter, or click it.
  4. Its text replaces what you typed. Change it if you like, then send it.

Nothing is sent when you pick a prompt. Only the question you send counts, as one chat answer. Saving, editing and deleting prompts use no AI. See Your AI allowance.

Open Saved prompts from the ⋯ menu again.

  • Press the pencil beside a prompt to edit its title or text in place, then Save, or Cancel to keep it as it was.
  • Press the bin to delete a prompt. It goes at once, without a question, so check that you picked the right one.

If you deleted a prompt in another tab, Papero says This prompt was deleted, perhaps in another tab.

The same / list starts with actions that work on your document. Each row says what it costs:

  • Summarise: the section your cursor is in, or the whole document when the cursor is not in a section. It sends a question to Chat and shows Uses a chat question. It needs your document in the Chat context; see Chat with your library.
  • Find claims that need a citation: runs the Claims check, which finds sentences that need a source, with papers to cite.
  • Check my citations: runs the Citation report, which checks whether each cited paper supports its sentence. It is part of Plus, so on Free the row shows Plus.
  • Find gaps in my argument: runs a Peer review of the whole document.
  • Suggest headings: suggests sections your document does not have yet. It shows Opens a window first, because you choose the headings before anything changes. See Outlines and headings.

The three checks open the Review tab and run there, and each shows Uses a review check. Under Find claims that need a citation, and on Plus under Check my citations, you see what the check will read: Whole document, or This section: and the heading your cursor is in. If a check is already running, the row says A review check is still running. For the checks themselves, see Review checks.

Prompts work best for questions you ask about different papers or sections in the same way. For example:

  • What sample and method did this study use?
  • How do these two papers differ in their findings?
  • Which limitations do the authors name?

Add papers with @ after you pick the prompt, so the same prompt works for any paper. See Chat with your library.
