Skip to main contentHow Built-in Prompts Work
Built-in prompts are pre-written commands for frequent AWS operations. Instead of remembering complex AWS terminology or syntax, simply:
- Click any prompt from the “Most used” section
 
- Customize if needed - prompts auto-fill but you can modify them
 
- Hit send - Rebase executes the request and provides results
 
- Ask follow-ups - Continue the conversation naturally
 
Your previous conversations are saved in the sidebar for easy reference.

Customizing Prompts
While built-in prompts work great as-is, you can always customize them:
Example: Instead of “VPCs List”, you might ask:
- “Show me VPCs in us-west-2 region only”
 
- “List VPCs with their subnet counts”
 
- “Find VPCs that are costing me the most”
 
Tips for Better Prompts
- Be specific - Include regions, tags, or resource names when relevant
 
- Ask follow-ups - “Can you optimize this setup?” or “What are the security implications?”
 
- Use natural language - No need for AWS CLI syntax, just describe what you want
 
- Reference time periods - “Last week”, “this month”, “yesterday” all work
 
Popular Combinations
Many users combine prompts for complete workflows:
- Cost Analysis: Start with “Previous Month Bill” → Ask “What can we optimize?” → Request “Show unused resources”
 
- Infrastructure Review: Begin with “VPCs List” → Follow up “Show me security groups” → Ask “Any security issues?”
 
- Quick Setup: Use “VPC with public and private subnets” → Add “Deploy EC2 instance” → Request “Set up load balancer”
