Overview

Snippets AI isn’t just for text-it’s designed to handle multimedia content seamlessly. Whether you’re creating voice prompts, recording quick audio notes, or embedding video instructions, Snippets AI gives you a powerful way to store, organize, and reuse all types of content across your workflow. This guide will show you how the UI handles video and audio prompts, making it easy to build a rich library of multimedia snippets that you can access instantly.

​
Why Use Video & Audio Prompts?

Video and audio prompts open up new possibilities for how you work:
  • Voice-First Workflows: Capture ideas and prompts using natural speech instead of typing
  • Richer Context: Explain complex concepts with screen recordings or walkthroughs
  • Team Collaboration: Share video tutorials or audio instructions with your team
  • Accessibility: Provide alternative formats for different learning styles
  • Faster Creation: Speak your prompts instead of typing them out

​
How It Works

​
Step-by-Step Guide

​
1. Create a New Snippet

Start by creating a new snippet in any folder within your workspace. You can organize video and audio prompts just like text snippets-in folders by project, team, or use case.

​
2. Choose Your Media Type

Snippets AI supports multiple content types:
  • Text prompts (the default)
  • Audio recordings captured via microphone
  • Video embeds from external sources
  • Mixed content combining text, code, and media

​
3. Add Your Video or Audio Content

The UI provides an intuitive interface for adding multimedia:
  • For Audio: Use the built-in voice input feature powered by Whisper to record audio directly
  • For Video: Embed video URLs or upload screen recordings
  • Preview: See a live preview of your media right in the snippet editor

​
4. Organize with Folders and Tags

Just like text snippets, your video and audio prompts can be:
  • Organized into folders for easy navigation
  • Tagged with relevant keywords for quick search
  • Versioned to track changes over time
  • Shared with team members or kept private

​
5. Search and Access

The powerful search functionality works across all media types:
  • Search by title, description, or tags
  • Filter by media type (video, audio, text)
  • Access from the desktop app or via API
  • Use keyboard shortcuts to find what you need instantly

​
Practical Use Cases

​
For Developers

  • Record debugging walkthroughs
  • Save SQL query explanations with voice notes
  • Store video tutorials for common workflows
  • Create audio prompts for code review standards

​
For AI Engineers & Prompt Engineers

  • Build a library of voice-activated prompts
  • Save video demonstrations of prompt techniques
  • Record thought processes for complex prompt engineering
  • Share prompt strategies via video with your team

​
For Teams

  • Onboarding videos stored as snippets
  • Audio instructions for repetitive tasks
  • Screen recordings of bug reproductions
  • Voice memos for quick team updates

​
For Sales & Marketing

  • Sales pitch recordings as reusable templates
  • Customer demo videos organized by use case
  • Audio scripts for outreach calls
  • Video testimonials and case studies

​
Best Practices

Keep it Organized: Create separate folders for different types of media content (e.g., “Voice Prompts”, “Tutorial Videos”, “Audio Notes”)
Add Descriptions: Always add a text description to your video and audio snippets so they’re searchable and provide context
Use Tags Wisely: Tag your media snippets with keywords like “onboarding”, “tutorial”, “demo”, or “walkthrough” for easier discovery
Version Your Media: When you update a video or audio prompt, Snippets AI tracks the changes so you can always roll back if needed

​
API Access for Media Prompts

Video and audio prompts are fully accessible via the Snippets AI API, enabling powerful automation: 
// Fetch all video prompts from a folder
const response = await fetch('https://api.getsnippets.ai/v1/snippets', {
	headers: {
		Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
	},
	params: {
		folder_id: 'your-folder-id',
		type: 'video',
	},
});

const videoSnippets = await response.json();
This allows you to:
  • Programmatically retrieve video URLs for AI agents
  • Build custom dashboards showing media content
  • Automate media snippet creation from recordings
  • Integrate with tools like VAPI or customer support systems

​
