🔗 Variables

Variables are dynamic placeholders in your prompts.

• Syntax: Create a variable by wrapping text in double curly braces: {{variable_name}}.
• Uniqueness: The app automatically finds all unique variables in your prompt content. If you use {{client_name}} multiple times, you only need to fill it in once.
