Changelog

Prompter is a Google Spreadsheet that uses Custom Scripting to add functionality to allow the SAVE and CLEAR buttons. This added code is an amazing feature because it allows more flexibility that wouldn’t be possible in a spreadsheet alone. Once you make a copy of the sheet to your Google Drive, you will need to allow the Script for the buttons to work.

I designed Prompter to be capable of doing almost everything you could want, so keep in mind, you don’t need to use every feature. In fact, it’s usually better to be more simplistic than overly complicated. Many times I only use 2 or 3 of the sections. The main reason I use Prompter myself is so I don’t have to think about aspect ratios, type in ::5 or –quality 4 in any prompts – I just click and go.

On the top right is a section for all your main settings. This is where you select the Algorithm to be used, from the old-school V1 to newest V4, and even TestP or Niji. You can also choose what info displays in drop-down menus (MyData or PrompterData), enable or disable multi-select (so you can pick one term, then another and both will show), and also if multi-prompts :: will be used by default or not.

First, begin by typing in your main idea. It can be long or short, concrete or poetic. On the right side, you can add weight if you want. I usually run a prompt first to see how it does, then add weights later if needed.

If you want to use an image for reference, paste the URLs here, up to three images. Technically you can use more images, but I felt three was more than enough. Next to each of those are boxes for individual weights. This way you can give more emphasis to one image than the others. If you want all of them equally weighted, just add the same number in each box (the –iw parameter does this as well, but I prefer using :: weights).

There is a lot going on here, but they are all pretty simple, and I added text next to each item to help. Here is where you can add parameters like –stylize or –seed without having to type all that out. Type in numbers in the boxes as needed, or click a checkbox to turn on something like UpLight.

Every item in Prompter is dymanic, especially this section. Depending on the algorithm selected in the settings section, each of these will display warnings if they are not compatible with the version. Now you don’t have to worry about getting errors when you send your prompt!

This is the real magic of Prompter. Each of these sections is full of descriptors to choose from. You can also click the little dice button and it will randomly select one from the hundreds of pre-packaged options. This random feature is not only fun, but could inspire some new ideas.

Clusters is the newest addition to Prompter, and a pretty cool feature. A cluster is a bunch of descriptors that you use often, and with one click you can add them all to your prompt. The 5 numbered spaces are where you can type in your own clusters, then use the drop down menu on the top to pick which one is active, or none. I am also building a bunch of clusters and will add them to the Cloud Database for use. Now if you are working on many prompts for a project, and need them all to have a similar style, just select a cluster!

This is the final step. On the bottom is a white box with your completed prompt. Simply click the box, copy, and paste it into Discord and hit enter. I moved the complex code that builds the prompt to another cell, so if you copy the code accidentally instead of the prompt, you’ll know. No biggie. Just make sure you don’t accidentally delete the code in this box.

When you click the Save button, your final prompt will be copied to the MyPrompts sheet with the date and time. This is a cool little feature so you can keep track of your prompt design, or go back and see old prompt ideas. Each time Prompter gets an update these will disappear, but you can always copy and paste from the old version to the new one… The Clear button is the most useful. When you are all done and ready to move on to a new prompt idea, click Clear and all of the sections will reset to default.
