For what application?
You’ve got commonly-used prompt text or a block of instructions, snippets of code, samples, or a good chunk of knowledge that you find yourself always pasting into an AI’s input box to get the results you want, on tasks you commonly revisit?
Envision: A copy and paste notepad within a chatbot for you. Store and lookup per-user any of these little notes in its database of texts.
Metadata fields to be typed when saving or updating such as [name, file name, keywords, description, date, version] also can power search and be search results (when simply browsing through these items with a preview text box becomes too much.)
Interface
Select text - a right click menu for “save insertion”, or “replace with insertion”. You can grab them out of AI compositions, also.
Right click context menu in the text input box - an “add insertion” to launch the dialog to find them, or select from a few pinned to the context menu.
The dialog makes inserting easy, or selecting the text from the entirety of the text window item that you want.
Then: a management UI and browser that can separately create text in a composer (of course allowing you to paste), import files, or select text out of those files, to compose contents of a new entry.
That’s Insertions. (and not a name used in different ways in AI already, OpenAI)
Now when you want to add your many lines of “you follow these style rules”, or “Responses API usage example” as a text block withing your input, along with complete personality or identity prompts, it is only a few clicks away.
You ask in the forum how to use an API? Maybe I just go to my app’s insertions without talking to an AI, where I have lots of examples to find for you.
Some crude dialog mockups in case you hate reading…
