Tips for Better Prompts

Quick Tips

Based on the official Airo AI Builder prompt best practices

1. 1

   Be specific about the problem. Name what's broken and where.

2. 2

   Describe what you want, not just what's wrong. Include the desired outcome.

3. 3

   Mention your industry or niche. Location and audience give Airo AI Builder real context.

4. 4

   List pages or sections up front. No back-and-forth.

5. 5

   Reference what you like. "I want a layout similar to [URL]" — Airo AI Builder understands visual references.

6. 6

   One clear task per prompt. Don't stack unrelated changes.

7. 7

   Include real content. Your actual business name, services, prices. Not placeholders.

8. 8

   Describe the people your site serves. Age ranges, abilities, locations — the more specific, the more authentic.

9. 9

   Build first, improve second. Get a working baseline before making changes. Trying to build + redesign + add features in one prompt burns credits and produces unpredictable results. Build it, check it, then improve one thing at a time.

10. 10

    Save credits on small text changes. You can edit text and swap images directly in Airo AI Builder's preview editor without using a credit. Click the text on your preview, type your changes, and save. Only use a prompt when you need the AI to rewrite, restructure, or build something new.

11. 11

    Write it yourself. A 2-sentence prompt in your own words will outperform a 400-word template you copied from ChatGPT or Claude. We see 8.8% of users paste the same generic template prompt, and the results are always generic too. If you use another AI tool to help you plan, remove the instructions meant for that tool before pasting into Airo AI Builder — things like "you are a website builder agent" or "master prompt for website build" confuse the builder.

12. 12

    Build the blueprint first. Get the pages and layout right with placeholder content, then fill in your real text, prices, and photos in follow-up prompts. This way you're not rewriting content if the layout changes. Think of it like building a house — frame the walls before you hang the art.
