How to Use the Talk to AI Editor
The Talk to AI editor is a two-panel workspace: you write on the left, and the Markdown output appears on the right. You don't need to type any Markdown yourself — use the toolbar to format, and we generate the Markdown for you.
The Two Panels
- Left panel (editor) — Type or paste your text here. Use the toolbar above to add headings, bold, italic, lists, links, code blocks, and more. You can also paste from Google Docs or elsewhere; we preserve headings, lists, and emphasis.
- Right panel (Markdown output) — This shows the Markdown version of your content in real time. Whatever you write or format on the left is reflected here. Use this to copy or download the final Markdown.
Copy to Clipboard
Below the Markdown output panel you'll see a Copy Markdown button. Click it to copy the full Markdown to your clipboard. A short confirmation appears so you know it worked. You can then paste the Markdown into ChatGPT, Claude, a note app, or any tool that accepts Markdown.
Handy when you want to quickly reuse the same prompt or paste it somewhere without saving a file.
Download as a .md File
Next to Copy Markdown there are two things:
- Filename (optional) — A text field where you can type a name for the file. If you leave it blank, the download uses a default name. If you enter a name (e.g.
my-promptorproject-brief), the downloaded file will bemy-prompt.mdorproject-brief.md. We add the.mdextension for you, so don't type it. - .md download — Click this to download the current Markdown as a
.mdfile. If you filled in a filename, that's what the file is called; otherwise you get the default.
Use this when you want to save a prompt or document as a file (e.g. for version control, backup, or to open in another app).
Quick Summary
| Action | How | |--------|-----| | Format text | Use the toolbar (headings, bold, lists, etc.) or paste from Docs. | | See the Markdown | Look at the right panel; it updates as you type. | | Copy to paste elsewhere | Click Copy Markdown. | | Save as a file | Optionally type a name in filename (optional), then click .md download. |
That's it. Open the editor and try it.
