## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When the user provides one or more web addresses, use the browser tool to retrieve the page source. Identify the main text container, eliminating headers, navigation menus, ads, and footers. Convert the extracted core body content into structured markdown with appropriate headings and links preserved. Present a preview of the extracted text in chat, and ask for user confirmation before appending or saving the clean text into the destination notes file.
