Prompts & AI Actions

Prompt actions run your dictated or selected text through a configured LLM provider for AI-driven text processing. They power the cleanup workflow and can be bound to profiles or triggered from a palette.

Prompt actions

A prompt action is an LLM-driven text-processing step. You define what the action should do, and TypeWhisper sends the relevant text to an LLM provider to produce the processed result.

In the Linux branch, prompt actions support:

• LLM-driven text processing
• Provider overrides — point an action at a specific LLM providers rather than the default
• Action plugin routing — send the result to an action plugin

Provider overrides

By default a prompt action uses your configured LLM provider. You can override the provider per action so one action runs against a specific LLM providers while others use the default. LLM responses stream token by token into the dictation overlay and the prompt palette when the provider's Stream responses toggle is on.

Action plugin routing

A prompt action can route its result to an action plugin. See Other plugins for the available action plugins.

Prompt palette hotkey

An optional prompt palette hotkey lets you trigger prompt actions on demand. Assign it on the shortcuts panel — see Global hotkeys.

Relationship to the cleanup pipeline

Prompt actions are the LLM half of the dictation cleanup workflow. The deterministic cleanup levels and per-profile formatting choices live in the cleanup pipeline; the Medium and High cleanup levels route through your configured LLM provider — the same providers prompt actions use. The flagship setup binds the seeded Auto Clean Up Text prompt action to a profile so dictation flows straight through cleanup before insertion. For the formatting and cleanup specifics, see Text cleanup.

Long-term memory

When a memory storage plugin is enabled alongside a configured LLM provider, durable facts extracted from eligible transcriptions can be recalled as context by future prompt actions. See Long-term memory.
