Introduction to Prompt Templates
AI prompt templates in NEXT are a powerful tool for streamlining interactions with NEXT's AI chat interface. These templates allow you to initiate AI chats quickly, without the need for repetitive typing and engineering of elaborate prompts or defining searches on highlights each time to enhance chat response quality.
Why Prompt Templates?
Prompt templates are great for automating discovery routines, such as sharing feedback with key stakeholders.
They offer tons of productivity enhancements by letting you create product deliverables, such as User Stories and Bug Reports, or UX artifacts, such as Personas or User Journeys, all with a single click!
They let you build NEXT into your (existing) routines in an easy way
Types of Prompt Templates
NEXT offers five types of prompt templates, each catering to different levels of interaction:
1. Teamspace-Level Prompt Templates
These prompt templates will appear on the "Ask AI" chat page. They are ideal for queries spanning an entire teamspace or a predefined search on highlights. Typical use cases include crafting User Personas, Product Requirements Documents (PRDs), Executive Summaries, and more.
2. Recording-Level Prompt Templates
These templates can be found when clicking "Ask AI" on a single recording. Navigate to the Recordings Library, hover over a recording, and click "Ask AI". They will start the chat on highlights from that specific recording.
3. Multi-Recording Prompt Templates
These can be used after selecting multiple recordings in the Recordings Library. They let you initiate a chat based on only the highlights from the selected recordings. Great for narrowing down the context of the AI chat to a subset of your data.
4. Highlight-Level Prompt Templates
Available when selecting "Ask AI" on a single highlight, perfect for detailed inquiries like writing bug reports.
5. Multi-Highlight Prompt Templates
These templates pop up when selecting multiple highlights in the Highlights Library. They're great for feeding exact context and evidence to the chat. When using these templates, you ensure the chat you initiate only uses the highlights of your choice as context and evidence.
