Turn your best AI prompts into one-click tools in Chrome(blog.google)

my most commonly repeated prompt; would be nice if the baked it into the tool itself:

"No emojis. be concise. no suggestions unless I explicitly ask for them. answer questions like the machine you are. Don't try and add personality or humour; remember you're a robot."

I'd add "no ass-kissing"

> remember you're a robot."

The anthropomorphization juxtaposed to the actual command is a bit ironic.

It really does make you wonder why all the models seem to require that. In principle, it shouldn't be a property of LLMs, and lol no it's not an "emergent property".

Post-training and "human preference" according to "data". Don't know a single developer who use these tools for work who prefer that though, but also don't know anyone who use LLMs a lot just "for fun" either, might just be vastly different preferences between the two userbases.

I like it. Have you tried putting this in your LLM system prompt?

I really hope this doesn't have the same security model as Chrome Extensions!

I can see the appeal of this feature and I am generally speaking an AI booster.

On the other hand...like...wat? This feature feels way too premature and risky to let loose on the public.

There are no third-party Skills, you can only create your own or use Google's readymade ones.

These days announcements like this just make me want to put on my tinfoil hat - what's in it for Google, though? Why make it more convenient for people to submit webpages to you?

Presumably the upside for Google is they'll just lock it behind the "Google AI Plus" subscription plan if it isn't already

Yes. We desperately need more local models.

Looks like it's read-only access. I'll still be using Claude Code with a Chrome MCP

My prompt collection lives in three different places right now — Raycast snippets, Apple Notes, and a Notion page that keeps growing. I know I wrote a good one for my git commit/push flow somewhere, but finding it when I need it usually takes longer than just rewriting it.

The browser approach makes sense for Claude code and ChatGPT. I wonder how well it holds up once you have 50+ prompts though — finding the right one fast is the real problem for me.

My prompt collection simply lives in my chat history. I just hit search and type in something unique I remember.

This is cleaner, though :)

I hate that. I understand that it might be useful, and tbh, on personnal PC, i'm not even concerned. But it is going towards people pushing to replace XQL or other query languages with prompting in natural languages, for no good reasons. Generate your query and copy paste if you don't want to read the documentation man, but please, please keep an intermediary between the LLM and the real world data. The last time your fucking prompt gave me a "log overview" i lost 2 hours understanding what the fuck i was reading, when a query would have taken me at most 20 minutes.

Convert my AI prompt into the code for a one-click tool, let me read and share it, that would be _great_.

The examples in TFA don't really seem suitable for code, unless that code is a wrapper for calling LLMs.

"Health & Wellness: quickly calculating protein macros for any recipe

Who wants this?

I can imagine a moderator, or a marketing person, wanting such a tool. "Respond to this post in a polite and friendly manner, thank the user for choosing our company, discovering a problem, and taking the time to report it. Promise to sort this out quickly. If the user is really angry and threatens legal action, promise an immediate refund, and shoot me an email with the summary of the issue, and all the details."

If instead of a copy-pasting spree, or setting up a whateverClaw, the user might just click a button in Chrome, it could be actually useful. (Consider a dozen such buttons.)

Me. I have a prompt I use to get alt text and caption ideas for photos. I basically copy/paste it each time. This will save a step.

OP. & I bet some people will want to play with it at least. Maybe it'll inspire builders to build something they themselves want.
