The Prompt Library gives every user instant access to a curated set of prompt templates right from the Chat home screen. Instead of writing a prompt from scratch, you can browse categories, preview a prompt, and send it in one click.
Prompt Library on Chat Home Screen

How It Works

When you open the Chat home screen, category pills appear below the input box. Each pill represents a prompt category. Clicking a category opens a panel with all available prompts in that category.
1

Choose a category

Click on one of the category pills below the input box (e.g., Write, Learn, Code).A floating panel opens with the list of prompts available in that category.
2

Preview a prompt

Hover over any prompt in the list. The first line of the prompt template is previewed directly in the input box, so you can see what it will send before committing.
3

Select and send

Click the prompt you want. The full prompt template is loaded into the input box. You can then:
  • Edit the text to add your own context or details before sending
  • Press Enter to send the prompt as-is to the AI agent

Default Categories

The Prompt Library ships with the following default categories, each containing ready-to-use templates:

Write

Professional writing and communication: executive summaries, client emails, meeting notes, business proposals, release notes.

Learn

Knowledge extraction and understanding: explain a concept, summarize a document, compare options, industry briefs, Q&A generation.

Code

Software development assistance: code review, debugging, API design, SQL query building, test case generation.

Coach

Professional guidance and mentoring: constructive feedback, presentation prep, difficult conversations, career strategy, interview preparation.

Brainstorm

Ideation and creative problem solving: idea generation, SWOT analysis, user stories, name generation, risk assessment.
Additional categories can be configured by administrators: Sales, Support, Marketing, Engineering, and General.

Prompt Scopes

Prompts can live at three different scopes. Users always see the union of the scopes that apply to them.
ScopeVisible toEditable byUse case
GlobalEveryone on the platformPlatform administrators onlyCurated, expert-crafted templates shipped with the product
OrganizationAll users in that organizationOrganization administratorsOrg-specific prompts (internal style guides, company processes)
AgentUsers interacting with that specific agentAgent ownersPrompts that only make sense for one agent (e.g. an HR-onboarding agent’s intake questions)
When a user opens the chat home, they see global prompts + their organization’s prompts. When they open a specific agent that has its own prompts, they additionally see that agent’s prompts. Global prompts are read-only — organizations and agent owners cannot modify or delete them, only add their own on top.

Prompt Template Structure

Each prompt template includes:
FieldDescription
NameUnique slug used to identify the prompt (e.g. write-executive-summary)
TitleShort, descriptive name shown in the category panel
DescriptionBrief explanation of what the prompt does
ContentThe full prompt text, crafted with expert instructions for the AI
ArgumentsPlaceholders you can fill in (e.g., topic, context, code)
CategoryThe category pill it appears under
TagsSearchable keywords for discovery
ScopeWhich agents or organization the prompt belongs to
Some prompts also include tool guidance — they can suggest or force the AI to use specific tools (e.g., web search, knowledge base) to produce better answers.

Example: Using a Prompt Template

Here’s a typical workflow using the Write > Executive Summary prompt:
  1. Click the Write category pill
  2. Click Executive Summary in the panel
  3. The input box fills with the prompt template
  4. Replace the placeholder with your topic or paste your document content
  5. Press Enter to get a professional executive summary
The AI will follow the template’s expert instructions — in this case, producing a concise summary focused on key findings, business impact, and recommended next steps, in a tone appropriate for a C-level audience.

Agents Using Prompts as Tools

Beyond the Chat home screen, agents themselves can call the Prompt Library at runtime. The library exposes a prompt_library tool that an agent can use to:
  • Search for relevant prompts by keywords or category
  • Fetch a specific prompt by name
  • Apply the prompt’s expert guidance to its own answer
This means even when the user types a free-form question, the agent can decide on its own to consult the library and produce a higher-quality answer following an expert template. When the agent calls the tool, the search is automatically scoped to:
  • The user’s organization prompts
  • Global prompts
  • The current agent’s own prompts (if any)
The user does not see the tool call directly — they just get a better answer.

For Administrators

The Prompt Library is fully manageable through a public REST API. Each operation is authenticated and scoped to the caller’s organization.

List & search

Paginated listing with filters by category and agent. Returns total count, page, and limit.

Create

Add a new prompt scoped to your organization, optionally pinned to a specific agent.

Update

Edit any field of an organization prompt — title, content, arguments, category, tags, or enabled state.

Delete

Remove an organization prompt. Global prompts cannot be deleted via the API.

Endpoints

MethodPathAction
GET/v1/promptsList prompts (with page, limit, category, agent_id filters)
POST/v1/promptsCreate a new prompt
GET/v1/prompts/:nameFetch a single prompt by name
PATCH/v1/prompts/:nameUpdate fields on an existing prompt
DELETE/v1/prompts/:nameDelete a prompt
All endpoints require authentication. Organization prompts are visible only to members of the same organization; global prompts are visible to everyone but read-only.

Use Cases

Internal Style Guide

Create org-wide prompts that enforce your company’s tone, formatting, and terminology in every generated email or document.

Per-Agent Specialization

Pin prompts to a specific support, HR, or sales agent so they only appear when users interact with that agent.

Compliance Templates

Provide vetted templates for regulated workflows (legal disclosures, customer notifications) that users can run in one click.

Bulk Onboarding

Seed a new agent with a curated set of prompts at creation time, scoped to that agent only.
Administrators can manage prompts directly from the Builder: open the prompt-library workspace and use the Run automation UI to call the CRUD endpoints above (or the seed-prompts automation to bulk-load a starter set scoped to an organization or agent). The same workspace also exposes the prompts collection if you prefer editing entries directly.

Privacy & Security

Prompts are stored in a secured library with strict scoping rules:
  • A user only sees prompts that belong to their organization, or globals shared with everyone.
  • An organization cannot read or modify prompts of another organization.
  • An agent’s prompts are only visible when interacting with that agent.
Authentication is required for every prompt operation, both from the chat UI and from the API.
