# AI command examples (English & German)

Last updated: 2026-10-05

These are real, working examples for the Prompts panel (**More → Prompts**
in the list header, then type into **Ask about your data...**) — see "[AI
commands in the Prompts panel](https://listplus.ai/en/help/ai-on-your-list/ai-commands)" for how the panel works and what it costs.
ListPlus understands both English and German phrasings; a German column
name works the same way as an English one.

## Selecting rows by email quality

| English                                                       | German                          |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| select valid emails                                           | wähle gültige E-Mails           |
| select invalid emails                                         | wähle ungültige E-Mails         |
| find disposable emails                                        | finde Wegwerf-E-Mails           |
| select personal emails                                        | wähle persönliche E-Mails       |
| select non-personal emails (role-based, like info@ or admin@) | wähle nicht-persönliche E-Mails |

## Selecting by a value or a concept

| English                                        | German                                       |
| ---------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| select all from Germany                        | wähle alle aus Deutschland                   |
| select where country = France and city = Paris | wähle wo Land = Frankreich und Stadt = Paris |
| select decision makers                         | wähle Entscheider                            |
| select technical roles                         | wähle technische Rollen                      |

"Select decision makers" is understood as a concept, not a literal text
match — it also catches "Geschäftsführer" or "Directeur" in a job title
column, not just the English word.

## Finding duplicates

| English                          | German                             |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| find fuzzy duplicates in name    | finde unscharfe Duplikate im Namen |
| find duplicate phone numbers     | finde doppelte Telefonnummern      |
| find names similar to John Smith | finde Namen ähnlich wie John Smith |

## Tagging

| English                             | German                                      |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| mark decision makers as key-contact | markiere Entscheider als key-contact        |
| tag invalid emails as needs-review  | markiere ungültige E-Mails als needs-review |
| tag selected as Priority            | markiere die Auswahl als Priority           |

The AI can't add rows to a sublist or remove them — a sublist is a saved
rule you create under **More → Sublists**. If you type "add selected to
sublist 'Priority'", the AI tags those rows "Priority" instead. A sublist
with the rule **Tags is one of** "Priority" then shows them.

## Setting a status

These work when the list has statuses (here: one called "Qualified"). The AI only uses statuses the list already has.

| English                                   | German                                              |
| ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| set status of selected to Qualified       | setze den Status der Auswahl auf Qualified          |
| mark everyone from Germany as Qualified   | setze den Status aller aus Deutschland auf Qualified |
| remove the status of the selected records | entferne den Status der ausgewählten Datensätze     |

## Handing records to a pipeline

These work when your workspace has pipelines (here: one called "HubSpot"). The pipeline's data check and release mode apply as usual.

| English                                 | German                                           |
| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| send selected to HubSpot                | übergib die Auswahl an HubSpot                   |
| hand everyone from Germany to HubSpot   | schicke alle aus Deutschland an HubSpot          |
| push decision makers to the pipeline HubSpot | übergib Entscheider an die Pipeline HubSpot |

## Cleaning and normalizing values

| English                 | German                            |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| normalize country names | normalisiere Ländernamen          |
| unify status values     | vereinheitliche die Status-Werte  |
| clean up city spellings | bereinige Schreibweisen der Stadt |

Normalizing shows you the proposed groupings first — for example every
spelling of "USA" it found — and only applies them once you approve, so it
never silently rewrites a column.

## Asking questions

| English                             | German                                   |
| ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| how many contacts are from Germany? | wie viele Kontakte sind aus Deutschland? |
| what countries are there?           | welche Länder gibt es?                   |
| show statistics by country          | zeige Statistik nach Land                |

These are read-only — they answer in the chat without changing any row.

## FAQ

### What are some example AI commands I can type to select rows?

"Select personal emails," "select invalid emails," "select all from Germany," and "select decision makers" all work — the last one matches the concept of a decision-maker job title, not just the literal words.

### How do I select emails by quality with an AI command?

Type "select valid emails," "select invalid emails," "find disposable emails," "select personal emails," or "select non-personal emails" — each maps to one of ListPlus's built-in email checks.

### How do I find duplicate rows with an AI command?

Try "find fuzzy duplicates in name" for similar spellings, "find duplicate phone numbers" for matching numbers regardless of formatting, or "find names similar to John Smith" to match against one specific name.

### How do I tag rows with an AI command, and can it add rows to a sublist?

"Mark decision makers as key-contact" or "tag selected as Priority" tags the matching or selected rows. The AI can't add rows to a sublist or remove them: a sublist is a saved rule. "Add selected to sublist 'Priority'" is turned into the tag "Priority"; create a sublist with the rule "Tags is one of Priority" under More → Sublists to see those rows as a group.

### Can I send records to a pipeline with an AI command?

Yes: "send selected to HubSpot" or "hand everyone from Germany to the pipeline Outreach" adds those rows to that pipeline, just like Add to → pipeline, and its data check and release mode apply. A dialog "Run this action?" appears first and nothing happens until you confirm; the AI only uses pipelines that exist and never hands over the whole list unless you say "all".

### Can I set a record's status with an AI command?

Yes: "set status of selected to Qualified" or "mark everyone from Germany as Qualified" sets one of the list's statuses after you confirm the "Run this action?" dialog, and "remove the status of the selected records" clears it. The AI only uses statuses the list already has and names them if yours doesn't exist. A name that isn't a status ("mark selected as VIP") becomes a tag, and "tag selected as Qualified" always tags.

### How do I clean up inconsistent values with an AI command?

"Normalize country names" or "unify status values" groups the different spellings it finds in that column and shows you the proposed groups to approve before anything changes.

### Can I ask questions about my list instead of giving a command?

Yes — "how many contacts are from Germany?", "what countries are there?" and "show statistics by country" are answered directly in the chat, without changing your data.

### Do these commands work in German too?

Yes — ListPlus understands German phrasings like "wähle Entscheider" or "normalisiere Ländernamen" the same way it understands the English versions in this article.

### Where do I type these commands?

In the Prompts panel: open **More → Prompts** in the list header and type into the **Ask about your data...** field.
