User Manual

The complete reference for the PromptMeGood workstation. Every panel, every control, every shortcut. If you only have 60 seconds, read the Quick Start Guide instead.

1. Overview

PromptMeGood is a browser-based prompt workstation. Every feature runs at /app. There is nothing to install. You do not need an account to use the free tier.

The marketing site lives at /; the workstation lives at /app. The two are independent — visiting / always shows the landing page, regardless of prior visits. Bookmark whichever surface you want to land on.

All work is local-first. Your prompts, picks, and saved items live in your browser's localStorage. Only the inputs you submit to AI features (text prompts, image briefs, uploaded images for the Image Workshop or Reverse Engineer, video briefs) leave the device — they go to the AI provider over HTTPS, are not retained on PromptMeGood servers, and are never used to train models.

2. The chassis

The workstation has three parts:

• Topbar (52 px) — brand, ❓ Help, 💼 Growth, 🗄️ Vault, ✦ Expert, Upgrade.
• Module tabs (44 px) — Text Prompts · Photography · Video. Tapping a tab switches the visible panel.
• Body — a 2-column workspace (1fr 1fr) on desktop, stacked on mobile. The left column is your builder; the right column is the result.

Topbar buttons

3. Text panel

The default panel. Designed for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, plus the in-app GPT-4.1 runner.

3.1 Your idea

The big textarea on the left is the only required input. One honest sentence is enough — for example, "Write a cold email to a SaaS director about our new analytics tool." A microphone button (where supported) lets you dictate it via the Web Speech API.

3.2 Auto-Tune

Auto-Tune runs automatically the moment you tap ✨ Build My Prompt. PromptMeGood reads your sentence and pre-fills the tuning panel — category, skill level, tone, output format, max length, output language, and personality — before building the prompt. Picks are clamped to a safe enum on the server. You can change anything and re-generate.

3.3 Tune Your Prompt

Below the idea field, the 🎛️ Tune Your Prompt section holds the dropdowns and toggles. On phones it is a tap-to-expand accordion (the badge shows how many picks are active). On desktop it is always open.

• Target Model: Select Universal, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. PMG will format your prompt the way each AI works best — Claude gets XML-structured context, Gemini gets examples up front, ChatGPT gets numbered steps, Perplexity gets a research-style framing.
• Framework: Choose Auto, RISE (Role, Input, Steps, Execution), CARE (Context, Action, Result, Example), or Step-by-Step. Pick a specific framework when you know the structure that works for your task, or leave it on Auto and let PMG choose.
• Quick Modes: Three chips (Growth Mode, Human Voice, Clarity Boost) toggle per-prompt tuning directives. Combine freely. These are different from the full Growth Mode drawer — these are per-build directives, not a separate workspace.
• Interview Mode: A toggle that prompts the AI to ask you clarifying questions instead of producing a finished prompt. Use it when you're not sure what you want yet; answer in the idea box, toggle it off, and build.

All tuning features in this panel are free forever on all tiers.

3.4 Build My Prompt

Tap ✨ Build My Prompt. The right side reveals your structured prompt with explicit Role / Context / Constraints / Tone / Format / Next Steps, plus a strength score showing how complete it is.

3.5 Run With AI

Beneath the result, Run With AI executes the prompt in-app with GPT-4.1 and shows the response inline. Free-tier users have a small daily cap on Run With AI; see §10.

3.6 Auto-Boost

The ✨ Auto-Boost Prompt button rewrites the result for maximum strength. It first asks 0–2 clarifying questions in an inline card; you can answer them or skip. Boosted output replaces the result and the strength score jumps to 100%.

3.7 Growth Mode (tuning toggle)

A toggle in the tuning panel that biases output toward sales, marketing, and conversion-focused phrasing. The toggle itself is available to all tiers and stays free forever. (Distinct from the 💼 Growth Mode drawer — same name, different surface: this toggle is a per-prompt directive and stays free; the drawer assembles full marketing prompts and becomes a paid feature on July 1, 2026.)

4. Photography panel

Switch to Photography. The left column is your image builder; the right column is the generated image.

4.1 Image Workshop

At the top of the left column, drop a JPG / PNG / WEBP up to 10 MB. Pick one or more enhancement chips, add an optional note, and tap Enhance Photo. Powered by OpenAI gpt-image-1. Returns a PNG you can download or save as SVG (the raster wrapped in an SVG <image> tag). Free for everyone through July 1, 2026; paid feature after that (counts against your image-generation daily cap on paid plans).

Enhancement chips: Upscale · Color Pop · Cinematic Grade · Remove Background · Restore Old Photo · Day↔Night · Vector Style · Anime · Oil Painting · Watercolor · B&W Film · 35mm Grain · Studio Lighting · Clean BG · HDR.

All chips run under a "preserve subject and composition" guardrail.

4.2 Reverse Engineer

The 📸 Reverse Engineer an Image button under the Photo goal field reads any reference image with GPT-4.1 vision and returns a usable image prompt plus matching Photo Suite picks (style, camera, lighting, composition, palette). The picks are auto-applied; you can override anything before generating. Free for everyone through July 1, 2026. After that, daily caps apply: Free 1/day, Founding 5/day, Pro 8/day.

4.3 Photo Suite

Below the Photo goal field, the Photo Suite groups your tuning pills:

• Style
• Camera & Lens — Focal Length · Body · Aperture (Depth Of Field) · Shutter (Motion Blur) · ISO (Sensitivity) · Film Stock (Color & Grain)
• Lighting & Mood
• Composition
• Camera Angle — 10 angles
• Color Palette
• Aspect

Quick Pick presets sit above the groups in a tinted card; tap one and it sets the whole suite at once. 🎲 Surprise Me rolls every group. On mobile the suite is collapsed behind a "🎛️ Tune Your Image" header so the Build button stays visible.

4.4 Pro Tuning

Below the Photo Suite, ⚡ Pro Tuning exposes three sub-sections: Quick-Start presets, Pro Boosts (toggleable directives), and Modes (checkboxes). Each Boost / Mode appends a directive to the final prompt. Expert Mode additionally instructs the downstream AI to think step by step (chain-of-thought reasoning) before writing its final answer — useful for complex, technical, or multi-step goals.

4.5 Build & Generate

Tap ✨ Build My Image Prompt to assemble the prompt from your picks. The refined output appears in the field; you can edit it. Tap Generate Image to send it to the model.

4.6 Result row

After the image lands, a row of actions appears under it:

• 💾 Save — adds the image + prompt pair to your Vault.
• 🔁 Regenerate — same prompt, new seed.
• 🧬 DNA Card — composes a 1080×1350 PNG of the image plus the originating prompt and brand stamp. Pure-frontend; no server.
• ↗ Share — opens the Web Share API where supported.

5. Video panel

Switch to Video. Layout mirrors the Photography panel.

5.1 Your video idea

One sentence describing the scene or sequence. The Photo Suite is replaced by Sora-style controls.

5.2 Sora pills

Single-select pill groups for: Shot Type · Camera Movement · Camera Angle · Mood & Lighting · Style · Focus Depth · Movement Easing · Duration · Resolution.

5.3 Pro Tuning

Same three-section structure as Photography, with directives tuned for video (Scene / Movement / Pacing).

5.4 Storyboard

Tap 🎞️ Generate Storyboard to turn your idea into a 5-shot cinematic storyboard. PromptMeGood writes the panel descriptions and renders up to two of the panels as images in parallel. From the modal, tap 🎬 Send to Video Studio to switch back to the Video panel and prefill the goal field with the multi-shot prompt.

5.5 Generate Video

Generate Video calls the AI video endpoint. On the free tier this prompts an upgrade card pointing at the Founding Member waitlist; paid plans run the generation and embed the resulting clip on the right side.

6. Prompt Vault

Tap 🗄️ in the topbar to slide in the Vault drawer from the right. Everything you save on this device — text prompts, image prompts, video prompts, and DNA cards — lives here, in your browser's localStorage. No account is required for the free tier.

6.1 Saving

Each panel has its own save action: 💾 Save Draft below the result on the Text panel, 💾 Save in the post-generate row on the Photography and Video panels, plus 🧬 DNA Card on Photography (which saves the image + originating prompt as a 1080×1350 share PNG). Saving fires a small "Saved to vault" pulse on the topbar so you have visual confirmation.

6.2 Inside the drawer

• Search across saved entries by keyword.
• Tag, favorite, and group entries to organize your library.
• Compare two prompts side by side to see what differs.
• Export / Import the whole Vault as a JSON file — your migration path between browsers and devices.
• Clear a single entry or wipe everything.

6.3 Open, close, and empty state

Open with the 🗄️ topbar icon. Close with Esc, the × in the drawer header, or by tapping the dimmed area outside the drawer. If you have not saved anything yet, the drawer shows a friendly empty state ("Your Vault Is Empty — Generate a prompt and tap 💾 Save Draft to keep it here for later") so you know it opened correctly.

6.4 Storage and portability

Because storage is per-browser localStorage, switching browsers, switching devices, or clearing site data wipes the Vault. Use Export / Import to move it. If you sign in for a paid plan, you can opt in to cloud-backed account storage so the Vault follows you across devices automatically.

7. Expert Command Center

Tap the ✦ Expert button in the topbar at any time, on any panel, to open the Expert Command Center as a side drawer. The main builder stays exactly where it is — the Center sits on top so you can move between deep tools and your draft without losing state.

7.1 The five tabs

• Diagnose — strength score (0–100), word count, weaknesses, and a checklist of missing context (role, audience, format, examples, success criteria).
• Architect — toggle role, audience, format, examples, success criteria, and other context fields as Off / Auto / Custom. Auto means the AI fills it in for you; Custom lets you write it yourself.
• Tune — fine-grained behavior sliders (verbosity, formality, creativity, etc.) plus tone presets.
• Variations — generate Fast & Simple, Detailed & Strategic, and Bold & Persuasive versions of your prompt in one shot, side by side, so you can pick the strongest framing.
• Save — store reusable workflows and presets you can re-apply on future prompts.

7.2 Open, close, and re-entry

The drawer opens from the ✦ Expert button, the in-flow "Open Expert Command Center" link, or anywhere else that calls the Expert Command Center. Close it with Esc, the × in its header, or by clicking the dimmed area outside it. Re-opening always returns you to the tab you were last on. Apply changes back to your main draft with the "Apply" button on each tab — there is no auto-write, so you can experiment freely without disturbing the prompt in the builder.

7.3 Pricing & beta access

The Expert Command Center is a paid feature for Founding Member ($79 one-time, lifetime, first 500 buyers), Pro ($14/mo or $129/yr), and Pro Studio ($29/mo or $290/yr) plans. During the open beta — through July 1, 2026 — everyone can use it for free. After that, free-tier users tapping the ✦ Expert button will see a paywall card with links to Pricing; the rest of the workstation remains free.

8. Voice & Brand Voice

• Voice input — where the browser supports the Web Speech API, a microphone button on every goal field lets you dictate.
• Brand Voice Profiles (Pro) — store recurring tone, vocabulary, and constraint sets so every generated prompt uses your brand's voice automatically.

9. Keyboard & URL flags

Keyboard

URL flags (on /app)

10. Limits & pricing

Daily caps per plan (subject to fair use):

The structured Prompt Builder, the Photography Suite pill pickers (Style, Camera & Lens, Lighting & Mood, Composition, Color Palette), and the Vault have no caps. The Photography Suite power tools (Image Workshop, Reverse Engine) and the Storyboard generator are free for everyone through July 1, 2026; after that they become metered features with daily caps shown in the table above. See the Pricing page for the full breakdown.

11. Troubleshooting

• Generate button does nothing. The idea field is probably empty or your browser blocked localStorage. Type a sentence; allow site storage.
• Image / video generation says "limit reached." You have hit the daily cap for your plan. Wait until the next UTC day, or upgrade.
• Reverse Engineer fails on my upload. Check the file is JPG / PNG / WEBP and ≤10 MB.
• The Vault drawer is empty. The Vault is per-browser. Switching browsers or clearing site data wipes it. Use Export / Import to move it.
• Voice input is missing. The Web Speech API isn't available in every browser. Try Chrome or Edge.
• Anything else. Email support@promptmegood.com with the steps you took and a screenshot if possible.
