2 lucashaper 0 5/12/2025, 4:03:21 AM taoprompt.com ↗

Crafting effective prompts for large language models can be a real challenge—too vague, and you get fluff; too rigid, and you lose creativity. That’s why we built TaoPrompt, a professional AI prompt generator that:

Offers Faster & Expert modes for precision or brainstorming

Provides a Chrome extension to plug directly into ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and more

Includes a rich template library tailored to industries like e-commerce, marketing, BI, and beyond

Lets anyone design their own “expert” in 3 easy steps:

Input your use case and goals

TaoPrompt crafts a bespoke expert prompt

Paste it into your favorite AI chatbot—watch it transform into a pro assistant

We’ve only just scratched the surface (today’s public release is <20% of what we have planned). Would love to get your feedback on:

Workflow integrations you’d like to see (APIs, frameworks, team features)

Industries or personas missing from our template library

Any other pain points when working with LLM prompts

Check it out and let us know what you think! Enjoy
