First-Time Setup

When you first launch Prompt Assistant, you'll go through a brief onboarding process:

Step 2: Tutorial

A quick visual guide showing you how the app works and its key features.

Prompt Assistant needs specific macOS permissions to work properly:

PermissionWhy it's needed
AccessibilityTo read and improve selected text from any application

Privacy note: We only access text when you explicitly trigger an improvement with a keyboard shortcut. We never monitor or collect your data in the background.

  2. Type or select some text you want to improve
  3. Press Cmd+Shift+I
  4. The improved prompt appears in the Prompt Assistant popover
  5. Click "Copy" to use it

Alternatively, click the Prompt Assistant icon in your menu bar to open the popover and type your prompt directly.
