Prompt-Ception: Build an Endless Prompt Generator Using ChatGPT
Forget writer's block. Here's how to create an infinite idea engine using AI.
Let’s be honest: Coming up with fresh, effective ChatGPT prompts is hard. I hit that wall constantly – until I stumbled onto something unexpected. I wasn't trying to build a prompt empire. I was just trying to save time on a single project...
Two simple prompts, used in sequence, unlocked a self-replicating idea engine. It wasn’t just a few suggestions; it was a firehose of structured, usable concepts. And yes, it genuinely scaled to over 70,000 unique prompts. Here’s how:
The Magic Duo
1. Prompt Generator Prompt (The Seed)
"I need your help generating a large number of diverse and effective ChatGPT prompts focused specifically on [MY TOPIC/NICHE]. Your goal is to create prompts that cover a wide range of angles, depths, and styles within this niche. Please generate [NUMBER] distinct, high-quality prompts..."
2. The Prompt Multiplier (The Engine)
"Excellent! This list of [NUMBER] prompts on [TOPIC] is a great start. Now, I need you to significantly expand this repository..."
The "Prompt-Ception" Effect
You’re not just asking for prompts; you’re asking ChatGPT to become a prompt engineer on your behalf. It’s like training an AI team member who never sleeps.
Key Lessons Learned
- Start Small & Refine: Begin with a smaller batch to verify quality before scaling.
- Niche Down: Specific prompts generate more relevant and useful results.
- Curate Aggressively: You won't use them all—curation is power.
- Iterate on Iterations: Keep digging into promising outputs.
- Use AI as a Springboard: Let its output spark your own creativity.
The Real Superpower
This method applies across roles:
- Content Creators: Generate blog hooks, YouTube scripts, social media carousels.
- Marketers: Create ad copy, landing page tests, survey prompts.
- Product Managers: Ideate features, scenarios, interview scripts.
- Writers: Unblock scenes, plot ideas, characters, worlds.
- Learners: Spin up questions, quizzes, new learning angles.
The Takeaway: It’s not about the number of prompts—it’s about unlocking creativity at scale. Use the Seed + Multiplier combo to turn ChatGPT into your ideation engine.
