Run ChatGPT Prompts with One Click: Logitech AI Prompt Builder Tutorial
Education
Introduction
If you own a Logitech mouse or keyboard, you can boost your productivity by programming a button or keyboard shortcut to launch ChatGPT with just a single click. Not only that, but you can also set up multiple presets loaded with your own prompts, allowing you to execute your tasks more efficiently. This game-changing approach was introduced to me by my colleague Keith, and I’ve found it invaluable for tasks such as refining writing or summarizing information. Here’s how you can do it too.
In the past, whenever I needed help with my writing or summarizing articles, my workflow involved several tedious steps. I would copy the source text, open ChatGPT in my browser, type a long prompt, and paste the text. This process could happen multiple times a day. Thankfully, the solution lies in the AI Prompt Builder from Logitech.
How It Works
Example Use Case: Summarizing Articles
Let’s say you want to summarize an article from CNBC about the U.S. job economy. Normally, you’d highlight the article text, but if you press Ctrl + A
, you might end up selecting images, advertisements, and other extraneous content. To avoid this, enable reading mode in your browser, which allows you to select only the text of the article. Once you have the text, you right-click to copy it, then open ChatGPT, type a prompt like, “Summarize in bullet points,” and paste in the text.
While effective, this method has its drawbacks. Instead, by using Logitech’s AI Prompt Builder, you can simply highlight the text and press the designated button on your mouse. The selected text will already populate in the prompt box, and you can choose among different preset options, such as summarizing the text into bullet points or specifying a word count. After making your selections, you just hit send.
For example, I created a preset to summarize articles by specifying that I want five bullet points. The system will present the summary accordingly, saving you a lot of time and keystrokes.
Example Use Case: Refining Emails
Another practical application is refining emails. Prior to using AI, I used to draft emails carefully to avoid miscommunication and unnecessary follow-up questions. Now, I can quickly draft an email and let ChatGPT help refine it. After preparing my draft, I highlight the text, press the button on my mouse associated with the prompt builder, and it automatically pulls the text into ChatGPT.
From there, I click send and receive a refined email that maintains an appropriate tone. This saves significant effort and ensures clarity in my communication, enhancing overall productivity.
