Application to Think through better text prompts

A blank prompt box is the hardest part of working with AI. This app makes you think first: it asks what you are trying to solve and gives you dropdowns and short text fields to fill in, then assembles everything you chose into a better text prompt. It is for text prompts — not image, video or audio.

Two builds of the same idea are online, one generated with each model, so you can compare how each one interpreted the problem.

Tools and approach

• MODEL: Claude 2.5 and Gemini 3 Pro
• TOOLS: Web browser
• BUILT WITH: a single PHP file with an SQLite database that saves your prompts

Review

THE GOOD: Easy to use. A single PHP file with an SQLite database to save prompts. Two different AI models were asked for the same app and both produced very similar output. Most of the value came from refining the prompt by hand before letting the AI generate code.

THE BAD: Limited options. It is good for thinking a problem through, and thin once you want real variety.

TO IMPROVE: Add more options — though every option added makes the thinking step more complicated, which is the trade-off this project is really about.
