FAQ​

How to restart chat​

Type and send a message

reset chat

Ask to fix any errors​

When your cursor is inside a cell (no matter javascript, wolfram language or whatever) it is called focused cell.

AI can have an access to it. Mention explicitly

fix my errors in the focused cell

Fix typos in selected text​

When you select something in the cell, you can call AI bot to perform actions on a text. For example Ctrl/Cmd + P and

Fix selected

or more explicitly

Fix grammar in selected

Read or edit selected text​

AI can also see currently selected text. However, the information about language is not provided. By the default it assumes the the main language is WL.

Ask for example

what is this symbol i selected?

Remove/add cells​

You can drop a cursor in any cell and ask to remove all cells starting from the focused one for instance

remove all cells starting from the focused

Say "do it" in a single message​

if assistant hesitates to apply changes to your cell and prints changes to a chat, just tell

apply changes

Create new cells​

You can simply ask

show me an example in Javascript

by the default it will print it to the end of your notebook. To specify the place, one can mention current cell as focused

show me an example in Javascript and print it to a cell below focused

Ask to change attributes of cells​

It can also toggle input cells visibility

unhide all input markdown cells

Ask to evaluate something​

You can ask to evaluate specific type of cells. For example

evaluate all markdown cells

or you can also chain more commands

evaluate all markdown cells and hide inputs

Ask to redo something​

If an AI made a mistake or you need something different. Tell directly to edit the cell it created, i.e.

i need red background instead of white. edit your cell

Ask to comment on something​

One can ask AI to check all code cells and print description to the notebook.

warning

If you have a large cells or many small, consider it will cost you a lot of tokens

You can chain multiple commands

read all my cells and comment on them using Markdown. Insert your markdown cells at the corresponding places in the notebook. evaluate them and hide

or if it sometimes print code blocks as well, we can mention not to do it directly

read all my cells and comment (no code blocks inside) on them using Markdown. Insert your markdown cells at the corresponding places in the notebook. evaluate them and hide

Access to internet​

By the default AI can use Wolfram Alpha to get real-time data.

where am I?

AI is not responding ⌛️​

Sometimes the operation takes 1-2 minutes to complete. If it is not the case, try to wake it up by sending a dummy message

So?

in the worst case

  • type and send reset chat to restart session
  • you have probably run out of tokens. Check OpenAI API page, then Billing

Note on cell types​

An assistant is aware of being in a notebook environment. The following cell types are described well in the initial system prompt

We also include the differences between Wolfram Mathematica and WLJS Notebook to the initial prompt including Dynamics, InputButton, InputRange, ManipulatePlot and some of the Events system features.

Knowledge on demand​

We sorted out all additional information by topics for AI and placed it in a sort of database, what we call AI Library, you can find it in settings menu

This means that all those items are accessible on demand, and it won’t use up your tokens if your request doesn’t match the topic.

Prompt examples​

Here is a few typical examples

Fixing errors​

For instance you typed something

cell
Plot[x, {x,0,1,0.1}]

               ^^^

Then, keeping your cursor in the cell, open command palette by Cmd/Ctrl+P and typing

fix my errors in focused cell

or if an assistant hesitates to make changes, write in addition apply changes or fix it in my cell

note

Assistant can help you with any kind of used languages. Make sure that your cursor inside the correct cell

Fixing grammar​

Simply ask

fix my grammar in the focused cell

and then if it does not apply changes to the current cell - ask as well

apply changes

Helping with Dynamics​

An assistant is aware of new libraries used here. For example

make an dynamic example, where a green ball follows your cursor on a 2d graph
sample output
pt = {0.,0.};

Graphics[{
  White, EventHandler[Rectangle[{-10,-10}, {10,10}], {
    "mousemove" -> Function[pos,
        pt = pos
    ]
  }],
  Green, Disk[pt // Offload, 0.5]
}, PlotRange -> {{-10, 10}, {-10, 10}}]

Make something​

Ask directly from the command palette what you want

make an example slide

it will print a new Slides cell

sample output
.slide
# Welcome to the Presentation

This slide introduces you to the world of presentations in notebooks.

---

# The Power of Slides

Slides can convey complex ideas succinctly and engagingly.

---

# Thank You!

We hope you found this introduction useful.

Or to write Javascript code example

write some javascript example with animation
sample output
.js
let canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = 200;
canvas.height = 200;
let ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

let posX = 0;
let speed = 2;

function draw() {
  ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
  ctx.fillStyle = 'red';
  ctx.fillRect(posX, 75, 50, 50);
  posX += speed;
  if (posX > canvas.width || posX < 0) speed *= -1;
}

let animFrame;
function animate() {
  draw();
  animFrame = requestAnimationFrame(animate);
}

animate();

this.ondestroy = () => {
    cancelAnimationFrame(animFrame);
};

return canvas;

Or HTML

show me example with HTML language. Print it to a new cell
sample output
.html
<div>
    <h1 class="text-2xl font-bold">My First Heading</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph in a div element.</p>
</div>

Or mermaid diagram

write a mermaid flow-type diagram with the following data: Frontend, which is connected to Backend using Websockets and on the backend Wolfram Language server is running

Asking to write an entire program​

Quite often it is quite risky, but with more popular languages like Javascript it can work very well. For example

how to capture data from webcam in Javascript and draw it to canvas. Print it to a new cell

which produces a fully working code

sample output
.js
// First, create elements for the video and canvas
const video = document.createElement('video');
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
const context = canvas.getContext('2d');

// Set video constraints
canvas.width = 640;
canvas.height = 480;

// Use getUserMedia to access the webcam
if(navigator.mediaDevices && navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia) {
    navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true })
        .then(function(stream) {
            video.srcObject = stream;
            video.play();
        })
        .catch(function(error) {
            console.log("Error accessing webcam: ", error);
        });
}

// Draw the video frame to the canvas
document.body.appendChild(video);
video.addEventListener('play', function() {
    (function draw() {
        context.drawImage(video, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
        requestAnimationFrame(draw);
    })();
});

// Return the canvas element to be rendered
return canvas;

warning

This code does not stop even if you remove a cell. Please ask AI in addition

please modify it so that when i remove a cell it will also stop streaming

Make a linear gradient for a div​

We have some WLX cell with the following content

.wlx

<div class="flex w-full flex-row gap-x-4" style="align-items: center">
  <img width="60" src="/attachments/image-a79.png"/>
  <h1>Title of the talk</h1>
  <div></div>
</div>

then we select the last div

<div></div>

and use a prompt

make a linear gradient from the selected text with 3 colors (red, blue, green) horizontally. Height is 2rem

AI applies the changes

.wlx

<div class="flex w-full flex-row gap-x-4" style="align-items: center">
  <img width="60" src="/attachments/image-a79.png"/>
  <h1>Title of the talk</h1>
  <div style="background: linear-gradient(to right, red, blue, green); width: 100%; height: 2rem;"></div>
</div>
