Steal This
Prompt.
Before you copy, ask yourself: do I need AI for this? If yes, these real prompts got real results. Copy them, remix them, learn from them. Each one shows what made it work and why that matters for how you think about AI.

Prompt this week
01
Prompts are instructions
Every word you include shapes what AI produces. Vague instructions produce vague results. Specific, structured prompts produce specific, useful results. The skill is learnable.
02
Good prompts have anatomy
The best prompts include a subject, a style, a context, constraints, and an audience. Not all at once — but understanding what each element does lets you add only what you need.
03
You learn by doing and recording
A prompt journal tracks what worked, what did not, and what you changed. That record is how you go from lucky results to reliable results. It turns experimentation into knowledge.
Featured prompt
The Collectible Figurine Prompt
This prompt turns any photo into a polished product concept — a 1/7 scale collectible figurine complete with packaging, a display base, and 3D modeling software on screen. The result looks like a real product ready to ship. The trick is the layered scene-setting: figurine + desk + packaging + screen content, all specified in sequence.
The prompt
Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base, with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations. [upload a picture of your subject]
Why this works — FOCUS breakdown
Function:Commercial product visualization — tells AI the output category before anything else
Object:1/7 scale figurine with acrylic base — the scale and material anchor it in reality
Context:Computer desk environment + screen showing 3D modeling process — builds the full scene
Constraints:"No text on base," realistic style, flat illustration packaging — negative constraints prevent common AI defaults
Variable:Upload any photo — subject, pet, character, person — and the scene rebuilds around it
Try it with:
Your pet, a friend, a character you drew, a plush toy, a real person — anything you can photograph.

The prompt journal
Why writing it down
changes everything.
Most people try a prompt, get a result, and move on. The ones who get consistently great results write down what they did. A prompt journal turns random luck into repeatable skill. It takes two minutes per session and compounds over time.
01
Write the prompt you used
Exact words, not a summary. Small differences in wording produce very different results.
02
Note what the AI was
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney — each has different defaults. A great prompt on one tool may behave differently on another.
03
Rate the result honestly
Did it do what you wanted? What was missing? What was surprising? Three sentences is enough.
04
Write what you would change
This is the most valuable step. The edit you make next time is where the learning actually happens.
05
Keep the ones that worked
Your personal prompt library. Over time, it becomes a set of reliable templates you can remix faster than anyone starting from scratch.
