Prompt generator
A prompt generator writes a set of prompts for you to track, from your topics, markets and the kind of questions you want to cover.
A prompt generator is a tool that writes prompts for you to track. You tell it what your brand does, the subjects you care about and where your customers are, and it suggests the questions those customers might ask an AI platform.
Starting from a blank page is hard, and most people's first list of prompts is too narrow. They write the questions they'd ask themselves. A generator can fill in the ones you didn't think of, so you get a fairer picture of how often the platforms name you.
What a good generator gives you
A useful set of prompts covers the whole path to buying. Some questions are about learning ("How do you make cold brew?"), some are about comparing ("Is Kestrel or Fernhill better for espresso?"), and some are about buying ("Where can I get a coffee subscription delivered in Leeds?").
It should also write prompts in the language and for the market you track, and mostly without your brand name, so you can see whether you come up when nobody mentions you.
Check before you track
A generator is a starting point. Read what it suggests before you add it.
For example, say Harrow & Pine sells loose-leaf tea and generates 20 prompts for its tea gifts topic. Most are good. Two ask about tea for health conditions, which Harrow & Pine doesn't sell for, and one is almost the same as a prompt it already tracks. Dropping those three keeps the topic's numbers about the thing Harrow & Pine actually wants to be named for.
Generating prompts in AnswerOrbit
On the Topics page, click the menu next to Add prompts and choose Generate prompts. Pick the markets and topics, how many prompts you want, and the mix of learning, comparing and buying questions. You'll see a preview before anything is added. The Suggested list on the Prompts tab also offers prompts from your profile, your answers so far and what people ask, and suggested prompts don't count toward your plan until you track them.
