Frequently asked questions
Get answers to common questions about AI prompting and using our tools effectively.
What is a prompt?
A prompt is a text instruction or question that you give to an AI system to generate a specific response, image, or video. It's like giving directions to the AI about what you want it to create.
How do I write a good prompt?
A good prompt is clear, specific, and detailed. Include context, style preferences, and any specific requirements. For images, mention colors, composition, and artistic style. For text, specify tone, length, and format.
What's the difference between positive and negative prompts?
Positive prompts tell the AI what you want to include in the result. Negative prompts tell the AI what to avoid or exclude. Using both together gives you more control over the final output.
How long should my prompt be?
There's no perfect length, but generally 20-75 words work well for most AI models. Be descriptive enough to get what you want, but not so long that important details get lost.
Why aren't my prompts working as expected?
Common issues include being too vague, using conflicting instructions, or not understanding the AI model's strengths. Try being more specific, breaking complex requests into steps, or experimenting with different phrasings.
Can I use the same prompt for different AI models?
While you can use similar prompts, different AI models may interpret instructions differently. Some models work better with certain prompt styles, so you might need to adjust your approach for optimal results.
What are prompt parameters like --stylize or --chaos?
Parameters are special commands that modify how the AI interprets your prompt. For example, --stylize controls artistic interpretation strength, while --chaos adds randomness to the output. Each AI platform has its own parameters.
How do I improve my prompting skills?
Practice regularly, study successful prompts from others, experiment with different styles and techniques, and learn the specific features of the AI tools you're using. Our prompt library is a great place to start!
