/shorter

Cuts your text down while keeping the main point.

The full prompt

/shorter Make this text shorter: [paste your text]. Target length: [e.g. 3 sentences or 50 words]. Keep the main point and any names, dates and numbers. Give me only the shortened version.

Replace the highlighted [brackets] with your own details, then send.

What you're asking

You ask the AI to trim your text to a set length. You get a shorter version that keeps the important details.

Give it

  • The full text
  • How short you want it
  • Anything that must stay in

Filled-in example

/shorter Make this text shorter: "Hi everyone, I just wanted to reach out and let you all know that, after a lot of thinking and talking it over with the family, we have decided that this year we will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our house instead of at Mom's, and we would really love it if you could all come around 2 pm and maybe bring a side dish if you are able to." Target length: 2 sentences. Keep the main point and any names, dates and numbers. Give me only the shortened version.

Use it in any AI chat. The slash word is a label, not a built-in command; the prompt does the work, and answers vary by app. How these work
