Your first Promptr demo in 10 minutes

Promptr uses a companion Chrome extension to detect what you're presenting in your browser. Install it from the Chrome Web Store.

After installing, pin the extension to your toolbar so you can access it easily:

1. Click the puzzle piece icon in Chrome's toolbar
2. Find "Promptr — Context-Aware Teleprompter" in the list
3. Click the pin icon to keep it visible in the toolbar

Promptr is a native macOS app. Download the latest release, unzip it, and drag Promptr.app to your Applications folder.

Open your Applications folder and double-click Promptr.app. The first time you run it, macOS will prompt you to grant Accessibility permission — this is needed to track which app is in the foreground.

Promptr lives in your menu bar — there's no dock icon and no app window until you open the teleprompter. Look for the blue Promptr icon near the clock at the top-right of your screen.

Click the icon to open the Promptr menu. You'll see options for the teleprompter, Learning Mode, Shared Folders, and more.

On install, the Promptr extension has access to zero websites. You explicitly grant access to only the sites you want to demo on.

Navigate to a site you'll use for a demo — your own product, Salesforce, Google Slides, whatever. Then click the Promptr extension icon in your toolbar.

Click "Grant access to [site]". Chrome will show its native permission prompt — click Allow. The page reloads automatically and Promptr is now active on that site.

Promptr reads content from a folder in your Documents directory. Open the menu bar and click "Open Content Library" — this opens ~/Documents/PromptrLibrary/ in Finder.

Create a new Markdown file (or use TextEdit to create an RTF) with your talking points for a specific screen in your demo. For example:

# Dashboard Overview

Key points to hit when showing the dashboard:

- **Real-time metrics** — everything updates live
- **Customizable** — drag and drop widgets
- **Role-based** — admins see everything

## Common questions
- "How far back does data go?" — 13 months by default

Now teach Promptr where to show your content.

Click the Promptr menu bar icon and toggle Learning Mode (or press ⌘⇧L).

Navigate your demo in Chrome. You'll see blue outlines as you hover over elements. Click any element to record it as an anchor — the outline turns green with a checkmark.

You can also click "Map This Page" in the banner to record the entire page as one anchor.

When you're done mapping, toggle Learning Mode off from the menu bar. Then click "Manage Mappings..." (or ⌘⇧M) to assign content files to each anchor you recorded.

Click "Show Promptr" in the menu bar (or press ⌘⇧T) to open the teleprompter window. It's an always-on-top overlay that stays visible over other apps.

Hover over the bottom of the teleprompter to reveal the control panel — you can adjust text size, scroll speed, and opacity. All settings persist across sessions.

You're ready. Make sure Learning Mode is off, then navigate your demo normally in Chrome.

As you move between pages and click elements, Promptr detects your context and pushes the right content to the teleprompter automatically. No fumbling, no window switching.
