Tool History & Re-run

View your past tool runs with full input/output history and re-run any previous task with one click.

Never Lose Your Work

Every tool run is automatically saved to your history. You can view the exact input you provided, the output generated, which model was used, and re-run any task instantly.

Overview

Tool History keeps a complete record of every Quick Tool you run. Each entry includes the original input, generated output, model used, and timestamp. This makes it easy to reference past results or re-run tasks with different settings.

Re-running Tasks

The Re-run feature lets you quickly repeat a previous task. This is useful when you want to:

Try a different model - Run the same input with Compare mode enabled to see how different models handle it.

Generate a fresh response - Get a new variation of the output without retyping your input.

Modify and iterate - Pre-fill the input field, then tweak it before running again.

Comparison Mode History
