Prompt factory

An informal ideation method that generates candidate prompts or AI-assisted workflows from a role, goal, process, or set of recurring problems.

A model can propose tasks, expected outputs, required inputs, and possible risks. The suggestions reflect the supplied context and familiar patterns rather than privileged knowledge of what creates value. A candidate becomes useful only after it maps to a real workflow, data source, outcome, and test.

Prompt ideation can widen a blank list, but ranking by novelty or enthusiasm creates attractive low-value ideas. Start from observed friction and desired outcomes, then compare the candidate with a non-AI process and the cost of integration.

Common confusion: A prompt factory generates ideas for prompts; it does not run them or promise the suggestions are worth keeping. What separates it from a finished workflow is review: you read each proposed prompt, try the ones that fit, and discard the rest before any of them become part of how you work.
