Variables

Variables are placeholders Fluent fills in when a prompt runs: your language, today's date, the app you're in, or a value you saved once.

They keep one prompt working in every situation, so you never edit it before running it.

Built-In Variables

Adjust them in Settings → Variables, under Built-in Variables:

• {{ nativeLanguage }}: choose the language. It's the same setting as Settings → General → Native language, which translation and voice dictation use too.
• {{ randomNumber }}: click the range, set Minimum and Maximum, and click Apply.
• {{ dateTime }}: choose a format.

Month names follow your native language.

Custom Variables

Save short values you'd otherwise type again and again: a company or product name, a support email, a standard sign-off.

In Settings → Variables, click + (Add Variable) in the toolbar and fill in:

• Variable Name: what you'll write in prompts, such as myCompany. Use Latin letters, numbers and underscores, with no spaces: Fluent doesn't fill in other names.
• Description: a reminder of what it holds
• Value: the text Fluent puts in its place

Then write {{ myCompany }} in any prompt. Click Edit… next to a variable to change it, or the trash to delete it.

Insert

Fluent fills in each variable the moment an action runs or you send the prompt, scheduled runs included. Your prompt keeps the variable, so the value is fresh every time.

Typical uses:

• Translation actions use {{ nativeLanguage }}
• Dated updates and briefings use {{ dateTime }}
• App-aware actions use {{ currentApp }}

Examples

Translate Into My Language

Translate the input text into {{ nativeLanguage }}.
Preserve formatting and return only the translated text.

Dated Status Update

Today is {{ dateTime }}.
Turn the selected notes into a short project update I can send to the team.

App-Aware Explanation

I am currently in {{ currentApp }}.
Explain the selected text in a way that fits this app context.

Brand-Safe Rewrite

These are custom variables you'd create first.

Rewrite this for {{ productName }}.
The target audience is {{ targetAudience }}.
Keep the tone aligned with {{ brandTone }}.

Clipboard Cleanup

Clean up the following copied text and turn it into neat bullet points:

{{ clipboard }}

Variables Vs Memory

Variables hold short, fixed values. Memory holds longer material Fluent learns and searches: writing samples, documents, profiles and project notes.
