How to use a prompt

Everything you need to go from browsing PromptPat to generating amazing results with any AI tool.

STEP BY STEP

From browse to generate

STEP 01

Find a prompt

Browse collections by category or search for a specific topic. Each collection groups related prompts together.

STEP 02

Copy the prompt

Click the "Copy Prompt" button below any prompt card. The full text is copied to your clipboard instantly.

STEP 03

Paste into your AI tool

Open your preferred AI tool — ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E, Gemini, Claude, or any other — and paste the prompt.

STEP 04

Customize & generate

Replace placeholder details (names, topics, styles) with your own. Hit generate and refine from there.

LEVEL UP

Tips for better results

TIP 01

Be specific

"A ginger tabby cat sleeping on a sunlit windowsill" produces far better results than "a cat."

TIP 02

Give examples

Show the AI a sample of what you want. "Write like this: [example]" dramatically improves output quality.

TIP 03

Use placeholders

Our prompts use [brackets] for parts you should customize. Replace them with your own details before generating.

TIP 04

Chain your prompts

For complex tasks, break them into steps. Use the output of one prompt as input to the next.

TIP 05

Stack modifiers

For images, combine style + lighting + camera angle for richer results. More detail means more control.

TIP 06

Iterate & refine

Your first result is a starting point. Ask the AI to adjust tone, add details, or try a different approach.

COMPATIBILITY

Works with any AI tool

Every prompt on PromptPat is tool-agnostic. Copy, paste, and generate with whichever AI you prefer.
