AI prompt for a Product Hunt gallery storyboard

AI prompt to plan Product Hunt gallery shots. Describe the product and the first action a visitor should take. Get a frame list with captions.

Act as a product designer planning a Product Hunt gallery. Goal: Plan the gallery for [PRODUCT NAME] in 5 frames. Context: - What a visitor should understand first: [THE JOB ON THE SCREEN] - The first action I want them to take: [CLICK, PASTE, UPLOAD, OR SIGN UP] - What I can actually show today: [LIVE UI, MOCK, OR BOTH] - Assets I already have: [SCREENSHOTS, LOOM, OR NONE] - Words that must appear: [PRODUCT NAME OR A SHORT UI LABEL] - Labels that are icons only: [UI LABELS THAT NEED A HOVER TO READ, OR LEAVE BLANK] - Words to keep off the frames: [PRICING FINE PRINT, OR LEAVE BLANK] Success criteria: - 5 frames in a fixed order - Frame 1 works as a cover at a small size - Each caption is 80 characters or fewer - The last frame is the ask - No frame tries to explain the whole product Instructions: 1. State the story the gallery tells in one sentence. 2. For frames 1 through 5, give: - Purpose - What is on screen - On-image text if any (few words) - Caption (80 characters or fewer) with a count - Shot note: crop and cursor position. Blur private data. 3. Say which frame should be uploaded first. Product Hunt uses that image as the preview. 4. List two things I should hide before I shoot. Output format: Return sections 1-4 in order. Use those numbers as headings. Style rules: - Show a real task on the screen. - Do not invent UI that I said I cannot show. Two real screens placed side by side is allowed. Say when a frame is a composite. - Frame 1 may skip the first-understanding job. A cover has to read at preview size, and detail dies there. - If [LIVE UI, MOCK, OR BOTH] is MOCK, label every frame as a mock. - Captions and on-image text use short sentences and everyday words. - No em dashes. Use a period. - Do not list three things in one caption. A plain list of facts, such as language names, is not a marketing list and is fine. - Use spoken connectors in captions. Start one with And or But when it fits. - Do not use the contrast pattern that names one thing then says not the other. - Cut any caption that could sit on any other product.

How to use

  1. Put the real first click in [CLICK, PASTE, UPLOAD, OR SIGN UP]. The gallery should walk toward that click.
  2. If you only have one screenshot, still run the prompt. Use the shot notes as a list for tomorrow.
  3. Shoot frame 1 last once you know the cleanest crop.

Tips

  • Product Hunt previews are small. If the first frame needs a paragraph to make sense, the crop is wrong.
  • Blur real inboxes and customer names before you upload.
