Do you ever have a great idea for an image or a task for an AI, but struggle to write the perfect prompt to get what you want? It's a common problem. You know the AI can help, but finding the right words feels difficult. This post will show you a simple way to solve this: train the AI itself to improve your prompts.
You can set up AI models like those in ChatGPT to act as your personal "prompt enhancer." This means you give it a basic idea, and it gives you back a much better, more complete prompt, formatted just right for tools like Midjourney, or structured correctly for other tasks.
Improving Prompts for Image and Video Generators
Let's start with image and video generation. The goal here is to take your simple concept and turn it into a detailed prompt tailored for generators like Midjourney or others. To do this, you give the AI specific instructions.
Setting Up Your Prompt Enhancer
The setup involves giving the AI a few key things:
Purpose: Explain that its job is to take a basic prompt and make it better.
Structure: Tell it how a good prompt should be built. For images, this might be general scene, subject details, setting details, then style details.
Tips: Provide a list of what makes a good prompt (e.g., be specific, focus on what you want, use keywords). Some good tips come from Midjourney's own guides.
Examples: Show the AI examples of good prompts and how you want the enhanced output to look. This helps the AI learn the structure and style you prefer.
Once the AI has these instructions, you can give it a simple idea like "a wizard casting a spell" or "a robot in a forest." It will then generate a detailed prompt based on your rules.
Putting It to the Test
Using this method makes a big difference compared to using the basic idea alone. A simple prompt might give varied or unclear results in Midjourney. An enhanced prompt provides more specific details, scene structure, and style cues. This leads to images that are much closer to your vision, giving you more control.
For text-to-video prompts, the structure might focus more on camera movement and scene progression. You can even instruct the AI to give you multiple prompt options, so you can pick the best one or mix and match parts.
Getting consistent, high-quality images from Midjourney can sometimes feel random. automating the prompt creation process helps get you better results faster. If you're spending too much time tweaking prompts, imagine using a tool that handles some of this for you. Consider exploring the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite to enhance your image generation workflow.
Training AI to Enhance Prompts for Itself
You can also use this idea to improve prompts for general AI tasks, like asking for explanations, brainstorming, or writing. The AI learns to ask clarifying questions or structure its response in useful ways (like using tables or bullet points).
General vs. Specialized Enhancers
You can create a general prompt enhancer for different types of requests. It learns to figure out if you need a summary, creative ideas, or step-by-step instructions, and adjusts how it refines your initial prompt.
Alternatively, you can make a specialized enhancer for a task you do often. For example, if you frequently use AI to brainstorm short-form video scripts, you can build a system where the AI guides you through steps like:
Suggesting hook ideas (different types like surprising facts, questions, bold statements).
Giving ideas for visual hooks.
Listing key points for the script body.
Brainstorming ways to create curiosity or add twists.
Providing a rough script outline.
Suggesting ideas for the ending.
How It Works in Practice
With a specialized enhancer, you don't just give it everything at once. It can work step-by-step with you. You give the initial topic, it suggests hooks, you choose one, it gives visual ideas, you choose, and so on. This back-and-forth helps you brainstorm effectively and get structured ideas tailored to your needs.
How to Use Your AI Enhancers
There are a few ways to put these prompt enhancers into action:
Directly: Copy and paste your instructions, tips, and examples into a new chat with the AI, then give it your basic prompt.
AI Projects/Workspaces: Some AI platforms (like ChatGPT's Projects) let you save instructions and files for later use. This keeps your setup ready to go and organizes your chats.
Custom GPTs: You can create a custom version of the AI with your instructions built in. This allows you to quickly access the enhancer from anywhere within the platform, even within existing chats.
Using Projects or Custom GPTs is generally easier than pasting the whole setup every time. They save your instructions so you can just type your basic idea and get the enhanced prompt instantly.
No matter which method you use, the goal is to make prompting less of a guessing game and more of a controlled process. This is especially helpful for creative tasks like generating art or specific content. Tools designed for automation can take this efficiency even further.

The Benefits
Setting up these prompt enhancers takes a little effort at first. You have to decide what you want, gather tips, write instructions, and create examples. But once it's done, you save a lot of time later. You get consistently better results from the AI right away. You also tap into new ideas and ways of thinking that the AI can suggest, things you might not have considered on your own (like the "genie analogy" for prompting).
Think about tasks you do often that involve writing prompts or brainstorming. Could you build a system like this to make it faster and better? You can even use a general prompt enhancer to help you write the instructions for a specialized one!
Learning to communicate clearly with AI is a valuable skill today. Setting up prompt enhancers is like giving yourself a boost in getting the best possible output from these powerful tools.
Conclusion
You don't need to be a prompt expert to get great results from AI. By setting up an AI model with the right instructions, structure rules, tips, and examples, you can create your own system for generating better prompts, whether for striking images in Midjourney, engaging video ideas, or specific answers for other tasks. Choose the method that fits you best – a simple chat setup, an organized project, or a quick-access custom GPT – and start getting more from your AI interactions today.
