Who wants this?

I can imagine a moderator, or a marketing person, wanting such a tool. "Respond to this post in a polite and friendly manner, thank the user for choosing our company, discovering a problem, and taking the time to report it. Promise to sort this out quickly. If the user is really angry and threatens legal action, promise an immediate refund, and shoot me an email with the summary of the issue, and all the details."

If instead of a copy-pasting spree, or setting up a whateverClaw, the user might just click a button in Chrome, it could be actually useful. (Consider a dozen such buttons.)

isn't this basically just putting a decision tree on top of the llms?

OP. & I bet some people will want to play with it at least. Maybe it'll inspire builders to build something they themselves want.
Me. I have a prompt I use to get alt text and caption ideas for photos. I basically copy/paste it each time. This will save a step.
I can immediately think of personal use cases for this.
Any you can share?
Yeah.

1) I follow a strict diet with specific health goals. I often chat with AI on if foods fit into my diet and what benefit they provide. I do my food shopping online in a browser. For example, if I am looking at pecan nuts, I would previously copy the url into Claude and discuss it. With this tool I can do it directly in the browser. The stored prompt would be my current diet and health goals.

2) I often have AI chats about projects I am doing. I regularly copy and paste product links into the chat to discuss. With this tool, I can do it right from the browser with one click - where the project details are stored within the prompt.

Fight enshittification. For whatever reason, many travel sites no longer send full details in the e-mail confirmation, they want you to click through to the site...which means I can't forward it to plans@tripit.com for automatic import.

Immediately after booking something,I tell Gemini to add it to my TripIt. Works great. I have a little prompt explaining how I like it formatted that I cut and paste, so I can just make this a one-click prompt. I could also have it add flights to my.flightradar24.com.

I also use Gemini in Chrome to add appointment confirmations to my calendar. Or remember things in Google Keep.

There's lot of use cases for this kind of thing.
