Promptbook

Promptbook is a prompt library that lets you save, organize, and reuse prompt templates. It helps you make your AI workflows reproducible and repeatable — define a prompt once and use it consistently across sessions.

Opening the Promptbook​

Click the book icon (Promptbook) in the chat input's icon row, next to the mic. The Promptbook opens above the input and your chat, typed text and attachments stay as they are. Click the icon again, or press Esc, to close it. Clicking outside the Promptbook closes it only while it shows the list. The details step and the edit form have an × (Close) button instead. A click outside the Promptbook never also does what it would do with the Promptbook closed: it doesn't open a link, a menu or a drawer, send your message or start the mic. Click again once the Promptbook is closed. Closing the Promptbook discards a prompt you're editing and haven't saved.

While the Promptbook is open, notifications wait; they show when you close it.

Find a prompt​

  • Type in the Search prompts… field to filter prompts by name, ignoring upper and lower case. If no name matches, the list shows No prompts found.
  • Prompts are grouped by category, such as Data Extraction, Daily tasks or Monitors, and each category shows how many prompts it has. Uncategorized prompts come first, then each category in the order it first appears.
  • A prompt with variables shows how many there are to fill, for example 2 to fill.
  • Use ↑ and ↓ to move through the list. The prompt you last used or opened is marked with a check mark.

Use a prompt​

  • Click a prompt, or press Enter, to use it. A prompt without variables goes straight into the chat input. A prompt with variables opens its details first.
  • Click the Details arrow on a prompt, or press → at the end of the search text, to open its details. There you can fill in its variables and Clone it, and, for your own prompts, Edit or Delete it.
  • Fill in the variables and click Use prompt. Every variable needs a value. BrowseWiz puts the finished text into the chat input, replacing any text you typed there, so you can review it and send it.
  • Click the back arrow (Back to prompts) to return to the list.

Create or change a prompt​

  • Click New next to the search field to create a prompt from scratch, or Clone on a prompt's details to start from a copy of it. The copy is named after the original, with (copy) at the end.
  • Fill in Prompt name, Description, Prompt text and Category, then click Save prompt. A prompt needs a name. A name can be up to 100 characters, a description up to 500 and the prompt text up to 300,000. In Category, pick a category or type a new one. Cancel discards your changes.
  • Delete takes two clicks: click it, then click Delete? to confirm. A deleted prompt can't be restored.
  • You can also save one of your own chat messages as a prompt with the Save button in its message menu. It opens the new prompt form with the message text filled in.

Built-in prompts​

BrowseWiz comes with 12 built-in prompts that turn websites into Google Sheets, daily scheduled tasks and monitors. They are listed with (built-in) after their name.

Data Extraction — one-off runs on the active page:

  1. Extract this page to a Google Sheet
  2. Collect a list across pages into a sheet

Daily tasks — each one becomes a daily scheduled task; all but the news digest update the same Google Sheet on every run:

  1. Track competitor prices daily
  2. Keep a sheet in sync with a website
  3. New job postings daily
  4. New tenders and RFPs daily
  5. New property listings daily
  6. Used car bargains daily
  7. Daily metrics from a dashboard
  8. Daily news digest

Monitors — each one asks BrowseWiz to set up a monitor that alerts you when something changes:

  1. Alert me when a page changes
  2. Back in stock or price drop

A daily task or monitor is never created straight away: BrowseWiz first shows you its plan card or monitor plan card to approve. Every variable in a built-in prompt has a default value. In 7 of them (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10), the default for the URLs, pages or topics asks BrowseWiz to ask you for them in the chat, so you can use any built-in prompt without typing anything.

A value you type for a variable carries over to any other prompt with a variable of the same name, until you click Use prompt. For example, a run time you type in one daily prompt is kept when you open the next one.

Some built-in prompts need tools turned on:

  • the daily task and monitor prompts need the browser agent switch (Enable browser agent in the Tools menu);
  • the prompts that write to a Google Sheet need Spreadsheet tools on and Google sign-in.

A built-in prompt can't be edited or deleted. To change one, click Clone on its details: that makes an editable copy of it as your own prompt, and the built-in one stays as it is.

Backup and sync​

Your own prompts are backed up to BrowseWiz cloud storage when Back up everything except chats is on in Options → Settings → Backup & Sync. It is on unless you turned it off. While it's on, your prompts come back when you sign in on another browser or device. Built-in prompts aren't uploaded. See Backup & Sync.

There's no prompt import. Your own prompts are included in Export my data in Options → Account.

Prompt Templates​

You can create your own templates from scratch or clone and modify existing ones.

Variables​

Prompt templates can include variables enclosed in double square brackets. When you use a template, input fields appear for each variable so you can fill them in before sending.

Syntax: [[variable name]]

Default values: [[variable name||default value]]

Example Template​

You are a professional social media post copywriter.
Write an engaging post about [[post subject]].
Keep [[tone||professional]] tone.

In this example:

  • Two variables are defined: post subject and tone
  • tone has a default value of "professional"
  • Input fields will appear for each variable before sending
  • BrowseWiz replaces the bracketed variables with your input

Use Cases​

  • Standardize workflows — create prompts for recurring tasks (e.g., "analyze this lead", "summarize this article", "proofread this email")
  • Keep best practices — build a library of effective prompts for your common scenarios
  • Combine with attachments — pair prompts with active page or file attachments for powerful, repeatable automations
  • Iterate and improve — clone a built-in prompt, tweak it for your needs, and save your version
