What is PI Prompts?

PI Prompts is a versatile and user-friendly free Chrome extension designed to enhance and simplify the user experience for those utilizing AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and Google Bard. It allows users to manage, edit, and quickly access their frequently used prompts, ensuring a more streamlined communication process with AI platforms.

How To Use PI Prompts?

01 Adding New Prompt – Simply Add A New Prompt

You can add new prompts to your prompt library anytime, just write your prompt into the input field as normal and click on the “+” button on the right hand side of the input field instead of clicking send or enter which would send the message to AI Platform.

02 Import An Existing Prompt Library

You may want to download generic prompt lists if you are new to prompt engineering. Or maybe you already have a prompt library in JSON format.


  • In this case, click on “Upload” button

Click Upload


  • Select the Prompt Library JSON file

    Select prompt library


  • Finally Prompts will appear in PI Prompts panel

03 Backup (Download) Your Prompt Library

With “Download” button you can simply export your current library into a new file on your local computer.

04 Selecting Your Prompt

If you scroll in your prompt library you can select any of the prompts by clicking on them.

This will write the prompt into your input field.

But the trick is that you can filter your prompts just by starting to enter a text like “Inst…” which refers to Instagram-related prompts. This will filter down your Prompt Library instantly, so you could find the right prompt and click it to populate the input field.

Populating the input field


After you click the right prompt, PI Prompts will focus back on the input field. Since most of the prompts require context or arguments, it jumps at the very end of the prompt; this way, you could fine-tune your prompt for the actual task.

Further Functions

  • You could edit each prompt's text, or either remove it from your library.

  • If you are browsing on the internet and you find a good prompt, just select the text on the website, right-click to get Chrome's context menu, and you will find an “Add to Your Prompt Library” which will instantly add the new prompt at the very end of your prompt library where you can further refine it:
