Do you often use the same group of prompts in Dragon Copilot Chat 
? Combine separate instructions for different AI actions together in a compound prompt instead of using separate prompts for each action.
These multi‑intent prompts help you accomplish several tasks in a single interaction:
- Capture codes while surfacing supporting information from trusted sources.
- Generate patient instruction letters using external clinical guidelines.
- Update clinical notes and capture codes simultaneously.
Combine separate instructions in a compound prompt to:
- Create supporting documents.
- Edit your note or document.
- Extract a summary from the note or transcript of your recordings.
- Search for information in the note or transcript, or trusted external sources.
- Perform coding-related tasks.
When you run a compound prompt, AI responses appear in Dragon Copilot Chat
.
Create a compound prompt
Follow the same guidelines to create a compound prompt as you would for any prompt. Ensure that the compound prompt clearly states the intent or goal for each instruction you want Dragon Copilot to perform.
For example:
- “Did the patient mention any family history of diabetes? If yes, create a referral letter to an endocrinologist."
- "Create a referral letter using a GP RL template and create a standard patient instructions letter in patient-friendly language.”
- “Capture guidelines for a post kidney transplant diet then create a patient instruction letter with these guidelines using template XYZ.”
- "Add ICD-10 codes to the A&P, each code next to the relevant diagnosis."
When you're satisfied with the results, save the compound prompt to your Library 
for future use.
