Our verdict

Typing a slash command like /poet gets ChatGPT to generate a tailored prompt for that role on the spot, so the number of usable shortcuts is effectively unlimited. Frequent ChatGPT users who want faster prompt-writing without memorizing templates are the target, and the developer says no personal data is collected, with your key stored only in the browser. Using it requires your own OpenAI API key and an active billing method, so there is no free ride.
