Create reusable prompt shortcuts for common research tasks.
Quick Prompts are reusable shortcuts for recurring research tasks. Save prompts you use often, insert them quickly into the input box, and adapt them to the current context.
What Are Quick Prompts Good For?
Paper reading
Summarize research questions, methods, contributions, limitations, and future work.
Translation and editing
Translate selected text, polish English paragraphs, or adjust academic tone.
Literature reviews
Extract claims, generate comparison tables, and organize related work.
Critical reading
Analyze assumptions, methodological weaknesses, evidence strength, and reproducibility.
Create a Quick Prompt
Open BibGenie and go to Prompts Settings.
Click the add button to create a new quick prompt.
Enter a name, prompt content, description, and tags.
Use the toggle to control whether it appears on the chat page.
Save your settings and return to chat.
Use a Quick Prompt
On the chat page, click a Quick Prompt or search for it from the prompt menu. Once inserted, it becomes part of the current input, so you can continue editing it, add context, or specify an output format.
Example:
Based on the paper I added, please use the following structure:
1. Research question
2. Method and data
3. Core findings
4. Limitations
5. How I might cite this paperQuick Prompts vs Custom Instructions
| Type | Scope | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Quick Prompts | The current input | Task templates such as summarization, translation, comparison, and extraction |
| Custom Instructions | Longer-term behavior preferences | Response language, tone, role, and formatting preferences |
Recommended approach
Put stable personal preferences in Custom Instructions and task-specific workflows in Quick Prompts.
System Prompt
System Prompts guide the AI's overall behavior across all conversations. Unlike Quick Prompts (which apply to the current input), a System Prompt takes effect globally — every conversation follows the same instruction.
For example, setting the system prompt to:
Always respond in English. Use academic writing conventions appropriate for computer science.means every response will follow this instruction without you needing to repeat it.
You can set one System Prompt in Prompts Settings. The default is Always respond in English. You can change it to match your preferred response language, tone, role, or formatting style.
Quick Prompt Configuration
Each Quick Prompt has the following fields:
Prompt Name
Required. When enabled, this name is displayed as a button above the chat input box.
Prompt Content
Required. The text that will be sent to the AI model as context.
Prompt Description
Optional. Describes the purpose of the prompt, shown on hover.
Prompt Tags
Optional. Used for categorization and filtering when managing many prompts.
