So what is it?

AiShort, also known as ChatGPT Shortcut, is a web-based tool for finding, organizing, and reusing text prompts for AI chat systems. A prompt is a carefully worded instruction you paste into a tool like ChatGPT to get a specific kind of response, such as asking it to act as a code reviewer, a marketing copywriter, or a language tutor. The site collects a library of these prompts so you can browse by category or search by keyword, then copy one with a single click and paste it into whatever AI tool you use. The basic version requires no account. You visit the site, find a prompt that fits your task, copy it, and paste it into any AI model. The prompt library covers 18 languages, and prompts come with translated versions so the AI can reply in your preferred language. Logging in unlocks additional features. You can save prompts to a personal collection, organize them with custom tags and drag-and-drop sorting, write and store your own prompts, share prompts with other users, and vote on community contributions. You can also export your entire collection as a JSON file for backup. A browser extension brings the same library into your browser as a sidebar, accessible from Chrome, Edge, or Firefox with a keyboard shortcut. A userscript extends the sidebar to any website. If you want to run your own copy of the site rather than using the public one, the README covers deployment through Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Docker, or a local setup. You can also configure automatic syncing so your copy stays up to date with the main project.
