📚 Prompts: Create Your Own Magic Commands in YuIA

Have you ever found yourself typing the same instruction to the AI over and over again? "Summarize this text in 3 bullet points", "Translate to English", "Act as a marketing expert and analyze this post".

The Prompts section is your shortcut factory. With it, you can save these complex instructions and execute them with a simple command, like /summarize or /analyze.

Think of Prompts as pre-made command recipes. You write the recipe once and then can prepare it instantly at any time, saving precious time and ensuring consistent results.

❓ What is a Prompt, in practice?

A Prompt is an instruction template that you create and save in your Workspace. It has three main parts:

1. A Title: A name for you to remember (e.g., "Bullet Point Summary").
2. A Slash Command (/): Your personal shortcut to activate the prompt (e.g., /summary).
3. The Content: The detailed instruction that will be sent to the AI (e.g., "Read the following text and summarize the main points in 3 short bullet points, using clear and direct language.").

When you type /summary in the chat, YuIA instantly executes that entire complex instruction for you.

🚀 Why Prompts Will Supercharge Your Productivity

• Extreme Speed: Turn paragraphs of instructions into a single command. No more repetitive typing.
• Quality and Consistency: Create perfect prompts for your most common tasks. Ensure the AI always delivers results in the format and quality you expect.
• Organization and Efficiency: Build your own library of custom commands. Have a shortcut for every task: translate, rewrite, analyze, create code, generate ideas, and much more.

✨ The Power of Variables: Your Smart Prompts

This is where the magic really happens. You can insert "variables" into your prompts: special codes that YuIA replaces with dynamic information at the time of use.

Think of them as ingredients that change each time, making your recipe even more powerful.

🪄 System Variables

These are replaced automatically when you use the prompt (you don't need to do anything):

• {{CLIPBOARD}}: Automatically inserts any text you've copied (Ctrl+C).

  • Prompt Example: Translate the following text to English: {{CLIPBOARD}}
  • How to use: Copy a text, go to the chat, and type your command. The translation comes out instantly!

• {{CURRENT_DATE}}, {{CURRENT_TIME}}: Insert the current date and time.

  • Prompt Example: Create a social media post about our event today, {{CURRENT_DATE}}. The tone should be lively and urgent.

• {{USER_NAME}}, {{USER_LANGUAGE}}: Use your profile information to personalize the interaction.

  • Prompt Example: Good morning! My name is {{USER_NAME}}. Act as my {{USER_LANGUAGE}} tutor and correct the following sentence:

📌 Complete list of system variables:

Variable	What it inserts
{{CLIPBOARD}}	Content of your clipboard
{{CURRENT_DATE}}	Current date
{{CURRENT_DATETIME}}	Current date and time
{{CURRENT_TIME}}	Current time
{{CURRENT_TIMEZONE}}	Current timezone
{{CURRENT_WEEKDAY}}	Current day of the week
{{USER_NAME}}	Your name on YuIA
{{USER_EMAIL}}	Your email
{{USER_BIO}}	Your bio (configured in Settings > Account > Profile)
{{USER_GENDER}}	Your gender (configured in Settings > Account > Profile)
{{USER_BIRTH_DATE}}	Your date of birth
{{USER_AGE}}	Your age (calculated from your date of birth)
{{USER_LANGUAGE}}	Selected language
{{USER_LOCATION}}	Your location

tip

💡 Tip: The variables {{USER_BIO}}, {{USER_GENDER}}, {{USER_BIRTH_DATE}}, and {{USER_AGE}} only work if you fill in this information in Settings > Account > Profile.

🧩 Interactive Variables: Create Forms in Chat

This is the most powerful Prompt feature. In addition to system variables, you can create custom variables that generate an interactive form when the prompt is used. The AI asks exactly what it needs to know, and you just fill in the fields.

It's like turning a prompt into a mini-app with text fields, dropdown menus, date pickers, and much more.

How does it work?

1. Create a prompt with custom variables using the syntax {{variable_name | type}}.
2. When someone uses the / command in the chat, a form window will automatically appear.
3. The user fills in the fields and clicks Save.
4. YuIA replaces the variables with the answers and executes the complete prompt.

Available field types

Type	What it creates	Syntax example
text	Short text field (default)	{{name | text:placeholder="Your name"}}
textarea	Long text area	{{description | textarea:placeholder="Describe the project..."}}
select	Dropdown options menu	{{tone | select:options=["Formal","Casual","Technical"]}}
number	Numeric field	{{quantity | number:min=1:max=100}}
checkbox	Checkbox (yes/no)	{{include_summary | checkbox:label="Include executive summary"}}
date	Date picker	{{start_date | date}}
datetime-local	Date and time picker	{{scheduling | datetime-local}}
range	Slider control	{{formality | range:min=1:max=10}}
color	Color picker	{{brand_color | color:default="#FF5733"}}
email	Email field	{{client_email | email}}
tel	Phone field	{{phone | tel}}
url	URL field	{{website | url}}
time	Time picker	{{time_slot | time}}
month	Month picker	{{reference_month | month}}

info

Required fields: By default, all fields are optional. To make a field required, add :required to the syntax. E.g.: {{name | text:required}}

Practical example: Social Media Post Generator

• Command: /social-post
• Prompt Content:

Generate a post for {{platform | select:options=["LinkedIn","Instagram","Twitter","Facebook"]:required}}.

Topic: {{topic | text:placeholder="E.g.: Product launch":required}}
Main message: {{message | textarea:placeholder="What is the central message of the post?":required}}
Tone of voice: {{tone | select:options=["Professional","Casual","Inspirational","Humorous"]:default="Professional"}}
Call-to-action: {{cta | text:placeholder="E.g.: Learn more, Sign up"}}
Include hashtags: {{hashtags | checkbox:label="Add relevant hashtags":default=true}}

Create a post optimized for the selected platform with the chosen tone.

When you type /social-post in the chat, a form will appear asking for the platform, topic, message, and preferences. Fill it in, click Save, and YuIA generates the perfect post right away.

📜 Version History

Never lose a version that worked well. Each time you save changes to a prompt, a new version is automatically created, like an edit history.

• Commit Message: When saving, you can add a description of what changed (e.g., "Added more formal tone").
• History: On the editing screen, a sidebar shows all previous versions with date, author, and description.
• Restore: Click on any previous version to view it and, if you want, set it as the active version by clicking Set as Production.
• Delete versions: Remove old versions you no longer need (except the active version).

🔄 Enable and Disable Prompts

Created a prompt you're not using right now but might need in the future? No need to delete it! You can simply disable it:

• Disabled prompts don't appear in suggestions when you type / in the chat.
• They remain saved in your Workspace, preserving all content and version history.
• To reactivate, simply enter the prompt and enable it again.

This is perfect for keeping your / command menu organized and clean, without losing any prompt recipe.

🛠️ How to Create Your First Prompt in 3 Steps

1. Go to the Workspace and click the Prompts section.
2. Click the ➕ Button to create a new prompt.
   • Title: Give it a clear name (e.g., "Spell Check").
   • Command: Create your shortcut (e.g., /spellcheck).
   • Content: Write the instruction. (e.g., Review all the following text for spelling and grammar errors, suggesting the necessary corrections: {{CLIPBOARD}}).
3. Click Save.

Done! Now you can go to any chat, copy some text, type /spellcheck, and watch the magic happen.

💡 Pro Tips

• Intuitive Commands: Create / commands that are easy to remember (/translate, /email, /ideas).
• Start Simple: Create prompts for the 3 tasks you repeat most in your daily routine.
• Make the Most of {{CLIPBOARD}}: It's the most powerful variable for quick tasks. Use it to review, summarize, translate, or reformat any text at maximum speed.
• Use forms for teams: If you share prompts with colleagues, use interactive variables so anyone can use them without needing to know the instruction behind them.
• Organize with tags: Categorize your prompts with tags to find them quickly as your library grows.
