Creating Custom Prompts/Actions by Recording Changes

The Record button in the top-left corner of the view allows you to create new AI actions. It opens the Record examples for instructions dialog box where you can provide a set of instructions that are intended for the AI to follow. Then, after clicking the Start recording button at the bottom of the dialog box, you can record a collection of examples in the editing area that will help the AI better follow the given instructions. The examples are recorded from the changes made in the open editors.

After providing examples, you need to click the Record button again to stop the recording. You will then have the opportunity to save the final result as either a Positron action or as a favorite chat prompt.

For example, if you want to add DITA markup to menu cascades, you can follow these steps:
  1. Click the Record button.
  2. In the Record examples for instructions dialog box, enter some instructions like: You are a technical writer. Add DITA markup to menu cascades.
  3. Click Start recording.
  4. Open a DITA topic that has a menu cascade without markup (for example: File > Export).
  5. Edit the topic and add markup, transforming it to:
    <menucascade>
      <uicontrol>File</uicontrol>
      <uicontrol>Export</uicontrol>
    </menucascade>
  6. Click the Record button again to stop the recording. The system generates the following instructions with examples:
    You are a technical writer. Add DITA markup to a menu cascades.
