• Don't save: I don't save the prompt, or my usage of AI doesn't involve prompts that would warrant saving.
• Embedded in version controlled artifacts: The prompt (or its essence) is documented within artifacts that are version controlled (for example, in code comments, commit messages, issue descriptions, or project documentation like READMEs)
• Not applicable
• Personal files: I save it in a personal local file (for example, .txt, .md) or a personal note-taking app (for example, Obsidian, Notion, Apple Notes).

  Never Sometimes About half the time Most of the time Always I don't give AI complex problems or not applicable
• When you interact with AI for your work, which of these best reflects the role you expect it to play?
  It delivers more comprehensive answers than a standard search tool. I assign and delegate straightforward tasks that require my direct oversight and review. I interact with it in a back-and-forth way to jointly develop ideas or solutions. It primarily executes predefined repetitive tasks with minimal ongoing intervention from me. It primarily serves to explain concepts and help me learn new material. I consult it for in-depth knowledge or solutions on highly specialized or complex topics.
