# Slate AI Snippets

**Slate AI Snippets** let Slate Admins with the Database permission:

- Set up **context-aware, pre-made prompts** that users can ask Slate AI with a single click:![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/Slate AI Snippet.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T11%3A04%3A05Z&se=2026-11-09T12%3A04%3A05Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=LGxow3IQPAYZIonUIEnFtuf8O3v9cNybVlWHKyWZizU%3D)

- Establish **system-wide instructions** that inform every subsequent prompt to Slate AI:

For both kinds of snippets, you decide whether the prompt is global, applies only to HTML editing contexts, or only in the Reader.

## Creating a new Slate AI snippet

To create a new Slate AI snippet:

1. Go to **Database → Slate AI Snippets**.
2. Select **Insert.**
3. Configure the following settings:
  - **Status:** Active
  - **Type:** Select one of the following:
    - **Snippet:** Select to create a snippet, a clickable, pre-made prompt that appears above the text entry box in Slate AI.
    - **System Instructions:** Select to establish a new baseline instruction to be adhered to in requests to Slate AI. System instructions will never show as a prompt above the text entry box.
  - **Name:** Enter a name for the snippet.
  - **AI Prompt:** Enter the prompt that Slate AI should follow. Write in an active voice. Examples:
    - **Snippet:** *Check to make sure the HTML is mobile responsive and update to be mobile responsive if not.*
    - **System instruction:** *Always write back in the tone of a pirate.*
  - **Context:** Select one of the following:
    - **Global:** The snippet or system instruction applies anywhere the user opens Slate AI.
    - **HTML:** The snippet or system instruction applies only when the user is in an HTML editing context, like when editing a portal view or a mailing. For example, create a snippet that formats a mailing for tone and for mobile responsiveness at the same time.
    - **Reader:** The snippet or system instruction applies only when the user is in the Reader. For example, create a snippet that performs a GPA recalculation from a transcript.
  - **Path Match:** Further target the context in which the snippet should apply by entering a relative URL path. For example, `/manage/inbox` presents the snippet or applies the system instruction only in Inbox.
4. Select **Save.**
