How to Create Shortcuts in Perplexity Comet

One of my favourite productivity boosters in Comet is saving my best prompts as shortcuts to trigger AI‑assisted actions with a single click. The Comet shortcuts go far beyond simple commands. I use them to: kickstart entire workflows instantly repurpose text format text for publishing save tasks for later automate multi-step research tasks launch complex projects with a single line. No more scrolling through old chats muttering, “I swear I wrote the perfect prompt for this once.” No more copy & paste for repurposing content. No more mental math for groceries. Everything is handled with one click.

How to Save Your Best Prompts as Shortcuts in Comet: Type / in any Comet chat or page to open the shortcuts dropdown. Use a memorable name (e.g., /competitor-analysis). Reuse: type /, select your shortcut and hit enter. Pro Tip: For complex tasks, start your prompt with “Run this prompt on [your variable]” (e.g., “Run this prompt on the text I paste”). Otherwise, recalling the prompt via /shortcuts may cause Comet to comment on it instead of running it.
