AI Prompts

Deprecated: The preseed workflow has been renamed to seed. All preseed functionality is now available under bootspring seed. See the Seed Workflow for current documentation.

Bootspring generates AI-ready prompts that you can use with any AI assistant. This feature is especially valuable for free tier users who can leverage external AI services for document generation.

How It Works#

When you use Bootspring's preseed features, prompts are generated that can be:

1. Used directly by Bootspring's AI (Pro tier)
2. Copied and pasted into external AI services (Free tier)

This means everyone can benefit from Bootspring's structured approach to document generation.

Generating Prompts#

From Drop Zone#

This generates a comprehensive prompt that:

• Lists all your files
• Includes text content where available
• Asks AI to extract relevant information
• Structures output for each document type

From Wizard#

After completing the wizard, prompts are generated for enhancing each document.

Location#

Generated prompts are saved to:

Using Prompts with External AI#

Step 1: Generate the Prompt#

Step 2: Copy the Prompt#

Step 3: Paste into AI Service#

Use with:

• ChatGPT (chat.openai.com)
• Claude (claude.ai)
• Gemini (gemini.google.com)
• Perplexity (perplexity.ai)
• Any other AI chat service

Step 4: Use the Response#

Copy the AI's response back into Bootspring:

5. Run Wizard with AI Output#

Use the AI's analysis to answer wizard questions accurately.

6. Enhance Documents#

For each generated document:

1. View the enhancement prompt:
   Loading code block...
2. Copy to external AI
3. Get enhanced version
4. Save to document:
   Loading code block...

7. Move to Seed#

Tips for Better Results#

Provide Context#

When using external AI, add context about your situation:

Iterate#

Don't accept the first response. Ask follow-up questions:

• "Can you expand on the competitive differentiation?"
• "Make the problem statement more specific"
• "Add more technical details to the architecture"

Combine Responses#

Use multiple AI services and combine the best parts of each response.

Upgrading to Pro#

With Pro tier, prompts are executed automatically:

Same quality, less manual work.
