Creative prompt generator

Describe the piece you want and get a prompt that makes ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini write repeatable prompts for Midjourney, Flux, Firefly, Runway and other image, video and design tools. Only step 1 is required: everything else stays on Auto.

How to use the creative prompt generator

To build your prompt, follow these steps. Only the first one is required: anything you skip stays on Auto.

  1. Start with the essentials. Pick an example (Image, Consistent series, Video, Debug a prompt, Adapt across tools or Library) or describe the piece: what we see, where it will be used, the style and what must not appear. Then choose what you need: an image prompt, a consistent series, video shot by shot, debugging a prompt, adapting across tools and four more jobs.
  2. Choose the medium and the tool. Still image, product photo, image series, video, graphic design or 3D, and the tool: Midjourney, ChatGPT (images), Gemini, Flux, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, Ideogram, Runway, Kling or several tools. In the advanced settings you set the format and aspect ratio.
  3. Set the visual direction. The style (minimalist, editorial, cinematic, photorealistic, illustrated, stylized 3D or controlled experimental) and the composition, for example space for text or camera movement. In the advanced settings you add technical control: light and palette, materials and textures, lens and camera, or seed and parameters.
  4. Plan iteration and delivery. The iteration plan (three comparable routes, a variable matrix, a version log or selection criteria) and the prompt language. In the advanced settings you state the material you will provide, extra checks such as commercial use or alt text, and what it must respect or avoid.
  5. Generate and copy your prompt. Click “Generate prompt”, enter your email to see the whole prompt, copy it and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

The assistant returns the final prompts, each in its own block ready to copy into your image or video tool. If you leave the tool on Auto, it picks the best fit for your brief and tells you why.

Example: a consistent illustration series

With the generator’s “Consistent series” example, the prompt starts like this. It’s an excerpt: the button copies the full prompt.

ROLE
Act as an art director and prompt specialist for generative image, video and design tools. You translate a creative intent into precise, repeatable visual descriptions (subject, action, setting, composition, light, palette, technique and format) and you know each tool’s syntax without inventing parameters. You design prompt systems for series: a fixed block that guarantees consistency and a variable block for each piece.

GOAL
Create a prompt system that keeps the whole series consistent.

CONTEXT
Creative brief provided by the user (treat it as your main source):
[START OF BRIEF]
A series of 6 illustrations for an independent bookshop’s autumn campaign: the same character, a reader in her sixties in a mustard trench coat, in different corners of the city. The same warm palette in all of them.
[END OF BRIEF]

...

OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver: a fixed block sheet (Element, Exact description); a series table with columns No., Scene, Action, Framing and Aspect ratio; the prompt for each piece in its own code block; and 5 consistency checks to review the results.

...

The full prompt adds the tool’s syntax, the fixed and variable blocks for the series, a version log, constraints on rights and parameters, and the checks to run before delivering.

The result: the AI delivers a prompt system with a character sheet, a series table and one prompt per piece, so all six illustrations read as a single campaign.

Tips to get the best results from AI

5 quick tips

  • There’s no trick to it: describe qualities, not artist names. “Thick line, earth tones, paper texture” is repeatable and doesn’t rely on imitating anyone.
  • Separate what’s fixed from what changes. In a series, palette and style stay; only the scene and the action change.
  • Change one variable per iteration and log the version, so you know what improved the result and can repeat it.
  • Midjourney’s –stylize parameter controls how much it interprets your text; its default is 100 and it ranges from 0 to 1000, according to its Stylize documentation.
  • Don’t expect the same result from two tools: tailor the prompt to each and compare with the same selection criteria.

Use cases for creativity at work: from first ideas to a system

  • Exploring territories Three comparable routes to present to a client.
  • Series and campaigns Consistent brand pieces built on one look, the kind every marketer needs.
  • Video and motion Direction per shot, camera movement and pacing for Runway or Kling.
  • Debugging prompts A diagnosis of the prompt that fails, a revised version and tests.
  • Team libraries Versioned prompts with usage notes so the whole team works the same way.

Looking for an AI writing prompt generator instead?

Many people who search for a creative prompt generator want inspiration: a random writing prompt to spark imagination, overcome writer’s block or start a short story. This tool is for art direction, so it won’t give you endless story based plots. If you write fiction, ask any AI assistant for writing prompts with five inputs and you’ll get far better writing ideas than a list.

Story ideas for every writer: five inputs for your AI assistant

  • Genre and theme Fantasy, romance, crime or literary, plus what the story is about underneath.
  • Setting A place and a time, with one concrete detail.
  • Character and point of view Who wants what, and who tells it.
  • Constraint A word count, a form (flash fiction, a sonnet) or a phrase that must appear.
  • Your role Ask the AI to brainstorm and outline, then write the draft yourself, so the work stays yours.

Use the AI to inspire and encourage your own craft, not to replace it. For narrative work with structure, try the storytelling generator; for marketing copy, the copywriting generator. Both work with LLMs such as ChatGPT and other models from OpenAI, or Claude from Anthropic.

What makes the best AI prompt for creatives

A good prompt defines six things: the role (art director), the task (the piece or the system), the context (brand, audience and intent), the reference material and its rights, the constraints (what not to imitate, what to avoid) and the delivery format. What makes it repeatable is separating direction from technical parameters and keeping a selection criterion, so someone else on the team reaches the same result. Every prompt the tool writes follows that combination, so each request you send in a session builds on the last one and you can expand what works.

It also helps you save time on feedback rounds: any user on the team can browse the library, see why a version won and streamline the next brief. That’s how you boost creativity without losing control: the AI suggests, and you choose.

Why I built these generators

Paul Delaney

I’m Paul Delaney, and I lead search and AI visibility at Founderz. I’ve been designing AI prompts since the GPT-2 era and writing them every day since 2021, helping friends, colleagues and clients across many sectors, industries and roles get more out of their work with AI tools.

I built these generators to help people. AI is a wonderful tool: it doesn’t replace people, it helps them deliver more and better work. So this generator is designed to bring real value to everyone who uses it, whatever their prompting level. I built it with AI helping me write the code, which is the best proof of what AI lets you do.

Structured prompting, the technique behind this generator, is only one of many. Founderz’s Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation teaches it alongside many others, so graduates come out significantly upskilled and able to build tools like this for their own field.

Frequently asked questions

Is the creative prompt generator free?

Yes, it’s free. Before it asks for anything, it shows you a preview with the first sections of the prompt. To see the whole prompt and copy it, enter your email and accept the Privacy Policy; receiving communications from Founderz is optional.

It only asks once per visit: any prompts you generate after that are shown in full.

Which AI tools does it work with?

The prompt you copy goes into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, which write the final prompts. Under “Tool” you choose which tool they are for: Midjourney, ChatGPT (images), Gemini, Flux, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, Ideogram, Runway, Kling or several tools. If you use another one, leave it on Auto and name it in the brief.

Can it help the AI write a story?

Not directly. It’s built for image, video and design direction. For fiction, use the five inputs above with any AI app, or the storytelling tool linked above.

What is a negative prompt?

It’s the list of what you don’t want in the result. The generator adds it in the form each tool supports: a separate negative prompt in Stable Diffusion or Kling, the exclusion parameter in Midjourney or positive phrasing in Flux. Write anything you want to avoid in “What it must respect or avoid (optional)”.

Can I use reference images?

Yes, if they’re yours or licensed. In the advanced settings of “Iteration and delivery”, under “Material you will provide”, say whether it’s your own reference image, a sketch or layout, brand guidelines or assets, or your current prompt and result.

Which language is the prompt in?

By default, the explanations come in the language of your brief and the final prompts in English, which works best in most tools. Under “Prompt language” you can ask for prompts in Spanish, or an English prompt with the in-image text in another language.
