What Makes Follow-Up Buttons Different?

Unlike regular Prompt Templates, Follow-Up Buttons streamline repetitive actions (e.g., summarizing or reformatting) and can be set to appear only when specific tags are present in a conversation. This makes them perfect for actions that are only relevant in specific contexts.

Create a Follow-Up Button

• Log in to CometAI.
• Select Prompt Template, located on the left-hand panel in the Assistants Tab.

2Prompt Template — create a new reusable prompt template

• Fill in the required fields:
  • Name - A clear title for your template.
  • Description - A short explanation of what it does.

1Name — label used to identify this follow-up button

2Description — explains what the follow-up button does

• Prompt - The actual instructions for the follow-up button.

• Select "Template Type".
  • At the bottom of the window, choose Follow-Up Button as the Template Type.

1Follow-up Button — sets this template to display as a clickable follow-up suggestion

• Set Required Tags (Unique to Follow-Up Buttons).
  • When you select Follow-Up Button, the Required Tags field will appear.
  • Enter the tag(s) that must be present in a conversation for this button to show up. You can add multiple tags by separating them with commas.
  • If this is empty, then it will pop up in all your conversations

1Required Tags — mandatory field for Follow-up Button templates; the button only appears in conversations carrying this tag

• Save the Button.
  • Give it a clear name so you can recognize it at a glance.
  • Once saved, the button will appear below conversations that match the required tags.

Advanced Use: Combining Buttons with a Single Tag

You can assign the same Required Tag to multiple Follow-Up Buttons to create a contextual toolkit. For example, the oit-ne tag can be used to display a set of buttons for welcoming a new employee, creating a to-do list, and more.

Best Practices

• Use Tags Strategically: Group related workflows under a single tag so relevant buttons appear together.
• Keep Prompts Concise: Design follow-ups for targeted actions like "Summarize this content using bullet points" or "Convert to Markdown."
• Experiment with Combinations: Link Assistants and Follow-Up Buttons for powerful, multi-step workflows.
