Tips & Best Practices

💡 Pro Tips

1. Start with Universal, then specialize

Use Universal prompt first to see the general analysis
Then switch to platform-specific for refinement

2. Use GPT-4o Mini for iteration

Test multiple images quickly with the fast model
Switch to GPT-4o for final version only

3. Batch similar images

Process all product photos with same settings
Copy prompts to a spreadsheet for organization

4. Verify once per session

CAPTCHA lasts 15-30 minutes
Process all your images in one sitting

5. Edit the generated prompts

AI prompts are a starting point
Customize them for your specific needs
Remove irrelevant details, add your own touches

6. Keep a prompt library

Save successful prompts for future reference
Note which prompt type worked best for each image type
Build templates for common use cases

📊 Credit Optimization

Save credits by:

Using GPT-4o Mini (5 credits) for most tasks
Only using GPT-4o (10 credits) for complex images
Planning your prompts before generating
Using custom instructions to get it right first time

Credit usage examples:

10 quick iterations with Mini = 50 credits
2 detailed runs with GPT-4o = 20 credits
Mixed approach: 5 Mini + 1 GPT-4o = 35 credits

Tips & Best Practices

💡 Pro Tips

1. Start with Universal, then specialize

Use Universal prompt first to see the general analysis
Then switch to platform-specific for refinement

2. Use GPT-4o Mini for iteration

Test multiple images quickly with the fast model
Switch to GPT-4o for final version only

3. Batch similar images

Process all product photos with same settings
Copy prompts to a spreadsheet for organization

4. Verify once per session

CAPTCHA lasts 15-30 minutes
Process all your images in one sitting

5. Edit the generated prompts

AI prompts are a starting point
Customize them for your specific needs
Remove irrelevant details, add your own touches

6. Keep a prompt library

Save successful prompts for future reference
Note which prompt type worked best for each image type
Build templates for common use cases

📊 Credit Optimization

Save credits by:

Using GPT-4o Mini (5 credits) for most tasks
Only using GPT-4o (10 credits) for complex images
Planning your prompts before generating
Using custom instructions to get it right first time

Credit usage examples:

10 quick iterations with Mini = 50 credits
2 detailed runs with GPT-4o = 20 credits
Mixed approach: 5 Mini + 1 GPT-4o = 35 credits
