AI Prompts
Prompts we have actually run, organised by the model they were written for. They are split that way for a reason: ChatGPT will happily invent a statistic to finish a sentence, Claude writes longer and cleaner but hedges, Gemini is stronger at the research half than the writing half, and Copilot is the only one already sitting inside the tool most people write LinkedIn posts in. A prompt tuned for one of them is mediocre in the others.
All 13 guides
7 Gemini prompts for Diwali posters, tested in Hindi and Tamil
Seven copy and paste Gemini prompts for the Diwali posts a shop actually needs: a sale, a greeting in Hindi, a Deepavali greeting in Tamil, holiday hours, a gift box price list in rupees, a Dhanteras poster built on your own photo and a WhatsApp Status. Each one run on Nano Banana 2.1 and Pro on 19 October 2026, with every word checked.
5 Gemini prompts for YouTube thumbnails, tested on both models
Five copy and paste Gemini prompts for YouTube thumbnails: the standard layout, your own face, the surprised face, a version B for YouTube's A/B test and a Shorts cover. Each one run on Nano Banana 2.1 and Pro on 14 October 2026, measured against what YouTube actually asks for.
6 Gemini prompts for flyer design, tested for print
Six copy and paste Gemini prompts for the flyers a small business actually prints: a grand opening, a flyer with a QR code, tear-off tabs, a menu on the back and a flyer built around your own photo. Each one run on Nano Banana 2.1 and Pro on 14 October 2026, with what happened when we tried to print it.
10 Nano Banana prompts for Instagram posts, tested
Ten copy and paste Nano Banana prompts for the Instagram posts a small business actually makes: a launch, an event, a giveaway, a tip, a carousel, a Story, a Reel cover. Each one run on Nano Banana 2.1 and Nano Banana Pro on 14 October 2026, with every result printed, the failures too.
Can Claude generate images? What Anthropic says, what we got when we asked, and the routes that make a real photo
No, and Anthropic says so in three places. But ask Claude for an Instagram post today and you get something: a hand drawn SVG in Claude Code, a refusal in chat when you ask for a photo, and a 1080 by 1080 canvas in Claude Design that exports as a PNG. We ran the same coffee shop brief through all of them, then through Claude Code calling Google's image model, and show every result.
AI headshot prompts for Gemini, tested on two ordinary photos
We ran eight headshot prompts through Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro, 22 images from two photos that were never meant to be headshots. Every result is printed, including the face that changed twice and the eyes a model had to invent.
Gemini prompts for product photography, tested on two real products
We sent ten product photography prompts through Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro on 24 September 2026, 27 images in all, starting from two ordinary photographs. Every result is printed, including the candle whose wax turned pink and the white background that was never white.
9 Gemini prompts for poster design, and 3 that went wrong
We ran twelve poster prompts through Gemini on 20 September 2026 and printed every result, including the bakery poster that came back with an invented address and the loaf of bread titled Avocado.
22 Copilot prompts for LinkedIn posts
Copilot's advantage is that your actual work already sits inside it. That is also the risk, so this set starts with the confidentiality pass and ends with the case against posting.
20 Gemini prompts for social media posts
Gemini has three things the other models do not: saved Gems, live search grounding and a spreadsheet at the end of it. These prompts use all three, and strip the formatting it adds by default.
25 Claude prompts for Instagram posts
Claude will hold far more of your business in its head than you are probably giving it. These prompts are built around that, and around cutting the two habits it will not drop on its own.
34 ChatGPT prompts for Instagram Reels scripts
Most Reel scripts a model writes are unfilmable. These prompts start from what one person with a phone can actually shoot in twenty minutes.
