Writing Effective Prompts

Updated Sep 27, 2026Guides

How to write prompts that get you the best results from the AI agent.

Be Specific

The more detail you provide, the better the result. Instead of "make a website", try:

  • "Create a landing page for a fitness app with a dark theme, hero section with a CTA button, 3 feature cards, pricing table with 2 tiers, and a contact form"

Describe the Design

Tell the AI about your visual preferences:

  • Colors: "Use a blue and white color scheme" or "Match the brand color #2663eb"
  • Style: "Modern and minimal" or "Bold and colorful with gradients"
  • Layout: "Full-width hero with centered text" or "Split layout with image left, text right"
  • Font: "Use a clean sans-serif font" or "Elegant serif headings"

Reference Existing Sites

You can mention well-known sites for inspiration:

  • "Design it similar to Stripe's landing page"
  • "Use a layout like Notion's pricing page"

Upload Reference Images

Drag images into the chat for the AI to use as reference:

  • Screenshots of designs you like
  • Brand logos and assets
  • Wireframes or sketches

Show Instead of Describing

Words are not always the shortest path:

  • Drop in a screenshot of the design you want, or of the bug
  • Attach a screen recording of the steps that break something — the agent watches it frame by frame and can transcribe what you say over it
  • Attach a PDF or spreadsheet with the actual requirements or data instead of retyping them

See Images & Files.

Pick a Model That Fits the Job

The picker in the chat decides which model answers, and the control next to it decides how long that model thinks before it does. A small, clearly described change does not need the most expensive model; architecture, a stubborn bug or a large refactor does.

See Models & Thinking.

Iterate in Small Steps

After the initial generation, make changes one at a time:

  • "Make the hero section taller"
  • "Change the CTA button to green"
  • "Add a testimonials section below the features"

This is more reliable than asking for many changes at once.

Use Your Language

Airbuild understands German, English, and many other languages. Write in whatever language feels natural — the AI responds in your language automatically.

Ask for AI-Generated Images

When you need custom visuals:

  • "Generate a hero image showing a modern office workspace"
  • "Create an illustration of a robot assistant"

The AI generates unique images and integrates them directly into your code.
