Accessing the Team Prompt Library

Navigate to the Library

  1. Navigate to the right panel of your main workspace view

  2. Hover over the tab icons in the right panel to see tooltips

  3. Click the "Team Prompts" icon (represented by a πŸ“‹ clipboard icon)

Understanding the Library Layout

The library is divided into two main sections:

Shared Prompts (Top Section)

  • Contains custom prompts created by your team members

  • Designed for your team's specific workflows and use cases

  • Shows author name and creation date for each prompt

  • Can be edited or deleted by workspace administrators

Built-in Prompts (Bottom Section)

  • Contains 250+ pre-made prompts created by TeamAI

  • Organized by categories like Marketing, Development, HR, Sales

  • Available to all workspaces automatically

  • Cannot be edited or deleted

  • Updated regularly by TeamAI

Result: You can browse both sections independently using scroll bars.

Note: The number of Built-in Prompts grows over time as TeamAI adds new prompts based on user feedback and common use cases.


Browsing and Using Prompts

Navigate Through Prompts

  1. Scroll through the Shared Prompts section to view custom team prompts

  2. Scroll through the Built-in Prompts section to explore available categories

  3. Click on category headers in the Built-in section to expand or collapse categories

  4. Use the search bar at the top of the library to find prompts by keyword

Result: Prompts display with their title, brief description, and usage count if applicable.

Tip: Use search terms like "email," "code," "blog," or "analysis" to quickly find relevant prompts.

Apply a Prompt to Your Chat

  1. Click on any prompt to view its full content in a preview panel

  2. Review the prompt content to ensure it matches your needs

  3. Click the "β–Ά" button (clipboard icon) next to the prompt

  4. Fill in required user input if a pop-up form appears (some prompts require specific information)

  5. Click "Use This Prompt" in the pop-up form

Result: The prompt text appears in your chat input, ready to send to the AI.

Note: You can edit the prompt after pasting to customize it for your specific needs before sending.


Best Practices

  1. Create a shared prompt for recurring tasks: If your team frequently uses the same prompt structure, click "Create Shared Prompt" in the Team Prompt Library and add it to your Shared Prompts collection.

  2. Star frequently used prompts: Click the star (⭐) icon next to prompts you use often. Starred prompts appear at the top of their sections for quick access.

  3. Browse Built-in Prompts first: Before creating custom prompts, explore the Built-in collection. Many common needs are already covered with well-tested prompts.

  4. Use descriptive names for shared prompts: When creating team prompts, use clear names like "Customer Support Response Template" rather than generic names like "Template 1."

  5. Tag shared prompts by department: Add tags like #marketing, #dev, #hr when creating shared prompts so team members can filter by their role.

  6. Keep prompts up to date: Review and update shared prompts quarterly to ensure they reflect current workflows, products, and company information.

  7. Test prompts before sharing: Test a prompt in a private chat first to ensure it produces good results before adding it to the Shared Prompts library.
