The floating button doesn't show
- Click the PromptItIn icon in Chrome's toolbar. It opens the panel on any page.
- If you just installed or updated, refresh the tab. Tabs opened before the update keep the old version.
- The button only appears on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Copilot, Mistral, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0. Elsewhere, use the toolbar icon.
- Check Settings in the panel: the floating button can be turned off there.
I can't find the toolbar icon
- Click the puzzle-piece icon at the top right of Chrome.
- Find PromptItIn and click the pin so it stays in the toolbar.
Clicking the icon opens the website instead of the panel
- Chrome doesn't let extensions run on its own pages (chrome:// pages, the Web Store, new-tab pages). Open any normal website and click the icon again.
- If it happens on normal sites too, update the extension: open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, and press Update.
The panel keeps asking me to log in
- Sign in at promptitin.com in the same Chrome profile. The extension uses that sign-in.
- Then close the panel and open it again.
- If you block cookies for promptitin.com, allow them; the sign-in is stored there.
The prompt didn't go into the chat box
- Click inside the chat box once, then press “Put in chat box” again.
- If a site's editor refuses it, PromptItIn copies the prompt instead. Press ⌘ + V (Mac) or Ctrl + V to paste it.
- Turn on “Fill the chat box” in the panel's Settings to insert results automatically.
The keyboard shortcut does nothing
- The default is ⌘ + Shift + P on Mac and Alt + P on Windows and Linux.
- Another extension may use the same keys. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts and set a different one for PromptItIn.
Chrome turned the extension off after an update
- When an update adds a site or permission, Chrome asks you to approve it first and pauses the extension until you do.
- Open chrome://extensions, find PromptItIn and accept the new permissions.
My credits look wrong
- A new prompt costs 1 credit. Changes and the questions before a prompt are free.
- Close the panel and open it again to load your latest balance. It matches Settings on promptitin.com.
