### Segment 1 (00:00 - 05:00) []

You need to stop saving your AI prompts in Word and Google documents. I have found the absolute best method to store and use your prompts across all your different AI tools. All I have to do is type in a simple shortcut and it immediately pastes in my long detailed prompt that I have saved. This is powered by something called a text expander. Basically, this is a program on your computer where you can set up these little shortcuts. I type in a short phrase like blog and it immediately expands it into something much larger. And programs like this are not only easy, but they're also free. The text expander that I use and suggest is called Raycast. Now, Raycast is a program for your computer that's actually way more than just a text expander. It supercharges your entire computer. It gives you clipboard history. It has AI built in. It gives you an emoji picker, calculator, and window management. It does a whole lot more. I'm not going to show you everything it does in this video. Today, we're just going to focus on the text expander feature. So, let's get started with installing this. I'm going to jump over to my other computer so I can start it fresh with you and show you what it's like to actually install it and set it up for the first time. You can start by coming over to raycast. com and clicking on download. I have a Mac, so I'll select download for Mac. Obviously, if you're on Windows, select download for Windows. Here we can see it's downloading on the top right. Once it is finished, there we go. I can go ahead and quit my browser and I'll open up my downloads folder. Here is Raycast. I will double click on it. Then all you have to do is drag this app into the applications folder. Click, hold down, drag in, and drop. And you are now done. So, let's go ahead and clean some things up. I will right click on this and move this to the trash. And then here on my desktop, I'll right click on this and click eject. Now, come over to applications and find Raycast. Here's Raycast. Double click on it and click on open. Now, during this setup process, Raycast is going to ask you for a lot of permissions in order to be able to work correctly. You can decide for yourself whether you feel comfortable with those permissions, but I'll say I've been using Raycast for about 5 years with no issues and it is an extremely popular app. I'll go ahead and click on start setup and click on continue. Keep going through this. This is just a demo of everything it can do and I'm going to skip the trial of Raycast Pro. I'll make sure that open at login is turned on. That way, every time I boot up my computer, Raycast will automatically start. Next, Raycast is asking for permission to get access to your calendar and contacts, files and folders, and accessibility. If you want the text expander to work, you need to grant access to accessibility. So, I'm going to choose to grant access to all of these, but we'll start with accessibility. I'll click right here where it says open system settings. And right here you'll see raycast and toggle that on. Enter in your computer's password and click modify settings. Now I'll do the same thing for the other ones. I'll grant access for files and folders and then grant access for calendar and contacts. Once all of those are done, click on continue. If you want, you can sign up for the newsletter. If not, just click on continue. And now it is installed. So, let's close this window and then I'll show you how to use Raycast. Let me switch over now to my main MacBook to finish out this demo because that's the one I've been using Raycast on for years. When you close out that last window, you'll see a popup that looks like this. This is Raycast. At any point, you can activate Raycast by holding down option and pressing spacebar. Then to get rid of this, you can either press escape or you can click away. So I'll hold down option and press spacebar again to activate raycast. Now at its heart, raycast is a replacement to the built-in spotlight. So if I click away here to get rid of raycast and hold down command and press spacebar, that activates the builtin spotlight. And so Raycast can pretty much do everything that the built-in spotlight does, but a lot more. We have to set up some things first in order to get the text expander to work the way that we want. So to activate the settings on Raycast, go ahead and activate Raycast. Again, option space. Then when this window is open, hold down command and press comma. This will bring up the settings menu. Now the first thing you'll see up here is launch raycast at login. I already told you to turn that on, but if you didn't, you can turn that on right here.

### Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00) [5:00]

You can also change the raycast hotkey. Like I said, right now it's option space. You can change it to whatever you want. Or you can even switch it to command space and replace spotlight. And there are further instructions on how to do that right here. There are a few other settings down here like appearance, if you want it to always be in dark mode, or if you want compact. I like compact, so I'm leaving it on or I'm turning it on compact. Moving along the top here, we have extensions. These are what give Raycast its different abilities. You can download these from the Raycast store. I'm pretty sure all of them are free, and it really unlocks some incredible capabilities for Raycast on your computer. There's also an AI tab here as well if you ever want to play around with this. This adds AI into Raycast. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Let's just stick with the basic feature I want to show you today, which is the text expander. To find that, click on extensions, and you want to search in here for snippets. That's what Raycast calls their text expander, snippets. Click right here where it says snippets, and you'll see the menu options for it over here on the right. The default settings are probably fine for you, but let me just run through them real quick in case you want to change them. So, you definitely want this one on that says enable snippet expansion. And there are a few other options in here as well. If you hover over them, it tells you what they do, but I always leave these off. Under expand, I have it on immediately. Injection delay, short. Response time, I leave on default. And I turned on an expansion sound. It just plays a little sound every time the text expands. That sounds really nice. The one I like is called below. And that's what it sounds like. And what might also be useful is if you need to disable snippets in certain apps, you can do that right here. Other than that, those are all the settings that we need. So, we can close this out. Let's create your first snippet. And this is really easy to do. Just activate raycast. I'll hold down option space. And you want to search in here for the word snippet. Here it says create snippet. So, I will double click on that. There are a few options in here. The first one organization you can ignore. The name is just for internal purposes only. It's a name for your reference only. It doesn't change the way the snippet works. For this one, I'm going to call it blog posts because this is a snippet that I'm going to use every time I'm creating a blog post. Then you can paste in your prompt here. If you need to leave Raycast and maybe go over to Gemini to copy down your prompt or chat GBT, you can do that. just click away, open up the app that you need that has the prompt in it, copy it down, and when you return back to Raycast, as long as too much time hasn't passed, you can just pick up exactly where you left off. I'll go ahead now and paste in my prompt right here. Now, the last field right here is the text that you're going to type that will then transform into this text right here. So if I put the word blog for instance right here, then anytime I type the word blog, it's going to transform into this. Now obviously you need to be strategic here. You don't want to use the word blog because then every time you type the word blog, it's going to turn into this whether you wanted to or not. So the trick here is to use something that precedes the word that is something you're not going to use that often. For my own system, I always use the money sign. I'll do money sign blog. Then every time I type money sign blog, it will expand to this. And this works for me because I know that I'm never going to accidentally type the money sign and then a word. It just doesn't happen. Now that we have all this set up, I can click right here where it says save snippet. Let's go ahead and test it. I will open up notes by activating raycast, holding down option, press spacebar. I will type in notes. Here I created a new note and I'm going to type in money sign blog. And there you can see it expands into the full prompt and it plays that little sound for me just to let me know that it worked. Now that you understand the basics of how to set up a snippet, let me show you a slightly advanced method that will really streamline this workflow. So let's say you're chatting with an AI and you get a result that you really love, like this infographic right here. Well, what I can do is I can click right here where it says copy prompt to copy my original prompt that created this result. Now, let's open up Raycast. And this time, I'm going to search for clipboard history. I will double click on that to open it up. This is another extremely useful feature inside of Raycast. It shows all of your recent clipboard history so that you don't accidentally overwrite anything that you wanted to save. I have it set up to save for the past 24 hours and then it

### Segment 3 (10:00 - 12:00) [10:00]

automatically deletes. You can change that in the settings. But for purposes of this video, what I want to show you is for any of your clipboard history items like this one right here. If you want to set this as a snippet, all you have to do is select it. So you see it right here. Then click on actions, scroll down, and click on save as snippet. That will then automatically populate in here. You can give this a title. So I'll call this one futurism image prompt. Then scrolling down further, I will set up my keyword as futurism. Now if I click on save snippet, let's go ahead and get rid of this. And now if I type in money sign futurism, it will then expand to this prompt. To edit any existing snippets or to delete them, open up Raycast and search for snippets. Then double click on search snippets. Here I'll search for the one I just made, which is futurism. And then I'll click where it says actions down here on the bottom right. I can edit the snippet by clicking right here. And I can make any changes. Let me go back though. And this time I'll click on actions and I can also duplicate it or scrolling all the way down I can delete this snippet. I think it is important every once in a while to come in and actually look at all of your different snippets to make sure that there aren't any in here that you no longer use or that may be overlapping other ones. It's always kind of important to stay organized with all of these. What I suggest you do now is add all your favorite prompts into Raycast. That way you never have to type out the same prompt twice ever again. And after that, if you want, explore Raycast. I think it's one of the best apps for Macs. I'm sure it's great for Windows as well. And once you understand all the incredible things that you can do with it, it's going to completely transform the way that you use your computer. Or, you know, don't and just use the snippets. That alone, I think, is worth it. But if you do want a full tutorial on how I use Raycast, including some of its AI capabilities, let me know that in the comment section down below. And if enough people are interested, I'll make a video on it. Also, make sure you subscribe so you don't miss out on the video if I do end up making it. Otherwise, I'll see you in the next video and bye for now.
