Vibe Otter AI Prompting Guide

How to Write Great Prompts

These tips will help you get better results faster every time you chat with the AI.

🔍

Be Specific

Instead of "make it look better," say "change the hero background to dark navy and make the heading font size larger." Details matter.

🌟

Describe the Result

Tell the AI what you want to see, not just what to change. "I want a clean, modern homepage with a big hero image and three service cards below it."

📷

Reference Examples

Mention websites you like. "Make it look similar to Apple.com — minimal, lots of white space, large product images." The AI understands references.

One Change at a Time

For complex changes, break them into steps. "First, change the color scheme. Then, update the navigation. Then, add a contact form." Easier to control.

📌

Include Your Content

Paste your actual text, business name, and details directly into the chat. The AI will use your real content instead of placeholder text.

🔄

Iterate and Refine

Don't expect perfection on the first try. Build on each response. "That's good — now make the button bigger and change the color to orange."

Good vs. Vague Prompts

See the difference a well-written prompt makes.

Too Vague

"Make my site look nicer and add some stuff to the homepage."

Much Better

"Add a hero section with a dark background, a bold white headline that says 'We Build Websites Fast', and a green button that says 'Get Started'."

Even Better

"I run a plumbing business called Quick Fix Plumbing. Build me a homepage with a hero that says 'Fast, Reliable Plumbing in Austin TX', a phone number button, and a 3-column section listing our services: Drain Cleaning, Water Heaters, Emergency Repairs."
