Introduction

55mV's Prompt Playground is a board that shares different prompt strategies to get your creative juices flowing. A few tips to get the most from the tools:

  • Explore widely, test different angles
  • Be curious and playful - "What about this..?" "Could we look at..?"
  • Build on any ideas that are sparked
  • Be specific, be vague, be conservative, be outrageous
  • When you hit regenerate/go again on the same prompt there will be a limit to the number of times the tools can provide valuable responses, this varies depending on the subject or prompt. If you find the tools begin circling the same type of response mix up your prompt.
  • The tools don't have the answer - you do. Treat the tools as a sparring partner and sounding board to help take your creative thinking to a higher level. Add your own thoughts, builds and flair. Direct the tools with unique prompts to help unlock fresh directions. Let your creativity flourish.
