How do you know when a new feature works? Pay attention to the "pull"

Yesterday we shipped a new feature called Image to Prompt. Basically takes an image as reference, and reverse-engineers it into a prompt for image models.

I thought it was just a little "toy" feature. I was wrong 😅. Turns out people actually like this and want to use it for work.

I keep getting surprised at how little we all know about what people want, until you ship it into their hands.

Have you ever shipped something you thought it was a hit, or it was irrelevant and was surprised by how people received it?

3 things I learned about prompting from 40,000 people using my tool

We built a prompt-refinement tool, which means we've learned where people actually get stuck with AI. Here's what actually separates good prompts from bad ones, no tool required:

State the win condition. Models can't read your mind about what "good" means. "Success = under 100 words, no jargon, one clear CTA" changes everything.
Examples are the secret. Telling it what you WANT and DON'T want is often more powerful than describing what you do. Give it a post example, an old email so it learns how you write, and tell it what NOT to do.
Iterate on the prompt, not the output. If the answer's wrong, people edit the answer. Pros go back and fix the prompt. The fix compounds across every future use. Build a reusable system, so you can just pull that prompt into a task, and repeat instead of typing all again.

None of this needs software. You can do all of it manually.

We baked these into Pretty Prompt so the one-click version does it automatically, and it's on AppSumo right now if anyone's curious. But, just doing these things above will get you 80% of the way there.

A trick to getting perfect image prompts

I found a trick to getting perfect image prompts.

Go to Pretty Prompt's image to prompt generator (this is how it works)

Upload an image, or visual reference of what you want to get from AI

It gives you a really accurate prompt to get a similar output

Really, really surprised about the accuracy.

Building Pretty Prompt - one click prompt improver inside ChatGPT

We just relaunched on AppSumo. Why? Cos our first run there brought us over $300k and a full year of runway.

We're bootstrapped so cash is king.

Problem: Most people write lazy prompts, get mediocre output, and blame the model. The fix is the same structural stuff 80% of the time, but nobody wants to type it every time. -> Note, this is not for the technical people.

What's different: It works inline in the chat box you already use. No separate app, no copy-pasting. One click and the prompt is rewritten/applied.

https://i.redd.it/qrktefjll86h1.gif

Current stage: Live, 40,000+ users and 5,200+ purchases on AppSumo, 4.86/5 across 172 reviews.

Looking for: Feedback specifically on the prompt library and history features. We're deciding how much to invest there vs. keeping the product minimal.

Happy to answer any questions about the tech or the AppSumo relaunch. 💪

I built a Chrome extension that rewrites your messy AI prompts in one click 🫠

The problem:

While building our past startup, we kept running into the same wall: prompt engineering. Writing good AI prompts is weirdly hard. So we built a solution for our own problem 😅

The gist most people run into: you end up retyping the same prompt over and over again.

What I built:

Pretty Prompt is a one-click button that rewrites your messy prompt into a prompt that actually works. It lives inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, so there's no copy-pasting between tabs.

https://reddit.com/link/1u03vui/video/6y08x46mb16h1/player

How it works:

→ Type your normal prompt
→ Hit the Pretty Prompt button in the chat box
→ It rewrites it with the structure, context, and constraints you forgot to add

Where it's at right now:

Still early, but out for a few months (30,000+ users, 5,000+ purchases on AppSumo), and it's currently back on AppSumo as a lifetime deal because the first run gave us the best product feedback we've ever gotten.

What I'd love feedback on:

For people who use AI daily, do you actually want the refinement to happen inline like this, or would you rather see the "before and after" side by side every time so you learn what changed? We're split internally and I genuinely appreciate another pair of eyes.

Happy to answer anything about the build, the stack, or how the refinement logic works.
