Snippets - Get done anything
Elephas Snippets
Snippets make it possible to configure Elephas for your day-to-day tasks. You can add your own task and invoke it using the floating menu.
Examples
Extract all the city names from the following content.
Translate the following content into Spanish.
Generate 10 multichoice questions from the following text.
What is the bug in the following code?
Summarize the following content for a tweet.

Snippets are very powerful because you can configure Elephas to your own needs. Combining with tones, you can make it write in your own style.
