Define it once. Generate perfectly personalized messages every time.

Prompt templates let you standardize the instructions and context you send to your AI agent — so it can generate high-quality, fully personalized messages at scale.


✍️ So what is a Prompt Template, exactly?

A prompt template is a predefined instruction framework that you send to your AI agent whenever you want it to generate a message.

Instead of writing the full prompt from scratch every time, you define:

  • the role of the AI (sales assistant, support agent, account manager…)

  • the tone and style to use

  • the objective of the message

  • the constraints (length, CTA, compliance rules…)

  • the context variables to include

You can create one version — or multiple variations depending on your use case.


⚡️ Why use Prompt Templates?

The goal is simple:
control quality, ensure consistency, and save time.

Using prompt templates means:

  • no more rewriting instructions for your AI agent

  • consistent tone and positioning across your team

  • structured personalization using dynamic data

  • better control over AI outputs

  • faster, scalable message generation

Instead of telling the AI what to do every time, you define the framework once — and reuse it.


🧠 Where can you use Prompt Templates?

Prompt templates can be used anywhere you generate AI-powered messages:

  • replying to conversations in your Inbox

  • outreach messages in campaigns

  • generating follow-ups

One template, fully reusable, always ready to generate contextualized messages.
