Custom prompts allow you to tailor the Craft Assistant to your workflow. Whether you frequently rewrite text in a specific style, generate structured summaries, or follow a particular tone for your documentation, custom prompts help you get consistent results with one click.
Custom prompts now support up to 1,000 characters (increased from 400), can have custom titles, support multi-line input, and are searchable in the Assistant panel.

What are custom prompts?

Custom prompts are reusable instructions you create for the Craft Assistant. They act as shortcuts for tasks you perform often, ensuring the assistant responds in a predictable and personalized way. You can create prompts for things like:
  • Rewriting text in your preferred tone
  • Structuring meeting notes or documentation
  • Translating content into a specific language
  • Summarizing documents in a fixed format
  • Generating task lists or project plans
  • Creating consistent image captions or alt text

Accessing custom prompts

You can find and manage your saved prompts in Craft’s settings:
1
Open Settings.
2
Go to Assistant.
3
Scroll to the Saved Prompts section.
4
Click Add Prompt to create a new one.
Your saved prompts appear in the Assistant panel during use, so you can apply them instantly without rewriting instructions. Saved prompts section in Assistant settings
