Show HN: Prompting Refinement Tool [requesting testing]
Hi There,
I've struggled with asking AI too many questions to get to a proper prompt. Now that I'm a bit better at writing decent prompts, I run into a time constraint where my prompts take a while to draft include tags, context, etc..
So, I built a tool where I can add a messy prompt and it asks 3-5 questions to gather additional context and let's me copy and paste the prompt to whatever AI tool I'm using.
I've personally seen value from this in the two days I've used it, but I'm curious to see if anyone else would get value from this. If y'all wouldn't mind feel free to test https://promptme.host?utm_source=hackernews&utm_medium=socia... - it's literally 30 seconds to test and it has a feedback form so I'd love to know if y'all get anything out it.
Thanks
