Multi-Prompt Shortcuts

What are multi-prompt AI shortcuts?​

Multi-prompt shortcuts consist of a chain of prompts whose outputs can either be combined or reused within the prompts themselves.

👍 This type of prompt engineering is typically reserved only for AI developers, but we've made it simple enough for anyone to harness this powerful tool.

A multi-prompt shortcut consists of:

  1. 2 or more prompts
  2. Any number of user input fields (ex. topic, tone of voice, special instructions, length of content, etc)

Our software generates a script based on the above inputs which are then sent via API to a 3rd party AI model like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
