Frequently Asked Questions

→ What is Promptiv and how does it work?

Promptiv is an AI-powered prompt optimization tool that transforms your basic prompts into three expert-grade versions: Concise, Creative, and Analytical. When you enter any prompt you'd use with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, our system:

• Analyzes your intent and recommends the best AI model for your task
• Generates three professionally rewritten versions optimized for different purposes
• Provides instant copy buttons to use these prompts in your favorite AI tool

The result? You get 5x better outputs from AI tools without needing prompt engineering expertise.

→ Do I need an account to use Promptiv?

No! You can use Promptiv completely free without an account. Anonymous users get 1 free prompt rewrite per month. If you create a free account, you get 2 rewrites per month plus can track your prompt history and access your dashboard. Pro users ($4.99/month) get 30 rewrites per month plus advanced features.

→ What types of prompts work best with Promptiv?

Promptiv works with any type of prompt you'd use with AI tools:

• Business: Emails, proposals, marketing copy, presentations
• Creative: Stories, scripts, brainstorming, content ideas
• Technical: Code generation, debugging, architecture planning
• Research: Analysis, summaries, data interpretation
• Personal: Learning, productivity, problem-solving

The more specific your initial prompt, the better the optimized versions will be.

→ What's the difference between Concise, Creative, and Analytical variants?

Each variant serves a specific purpose:

• Concise: Direct, clear, and unambiguous. Perfect for quick answers, factual information, or when you need efficiency. Removes all fluff and focuses on exactly what you need.
• Creative: Our breakthrough variant that discovers angles you wouldn't think of. Uses AI's unique ability to combine concepts and generate novel perspectives. Ideal for brainstorming, content creation, and innovative solutions.
• Analytical: Systematic, step-by-step frameworks with clear methodology. Best for research, planning, comparisons, and when you need thorough exploration with measurable outcomes.

→ How do I know which variant to use?

Promptiv provides contextual recommendations for each variant based on your prompt. Look for the "Best for:" description under each variant. However, here's a quick guide:

• Use Concise when you need quick, factual answers or have limited time
• Use Creative when you want unique ideas or perspectives that surprise you
• Use Analytical when you need comprehensive analysis or structured planning

Pro tip: Try all three variants with the same AI tool to see which produces the best results for your specific need.

→ Why is the Creative variant labeled as "Featured"?

The Creative variant is our unique differentiator. While other tools focus on clarity or structure, our Creative variant leverages AI's ability to discover connections and perspectives that humans typically wouldn't consider. It's featured because it consistently produces the most surprising and valuable results, especially for content creation, problem-solving, and innovation tasks.

→ How do the monthly limits work?

Your monthly limit resets on the same day each month that you signed up. For example, if you created your account on the 15th, your limit resets on the 15th of each month. Each prompt you submit counts as one use, regardless of how many variants are generated (you always get all three). Unused rewrites don't roll over to the next month.

→ What AI models does Promptiv recommend?

Promptiv analyzes your prompt and recommends the best AI model from our curated list of 12+ models including:

• GPT-4o - Best for complex reasoning and coding
• Claude 3 Opus - Excellent for nuanced writing and analysis
• Gemini 1.5 Pro - Great for multimodal tasks

Each recommendation includes a rationale explaining why that model is best for your specific prompt.
