prompt tools
Tap a subject, a setting and a style, and the idea mixer builds a prompt for you to copy. Then make it your own with fill-in-the-blank templates, snippets to tack on and a few simple tricks. Looking for finished prompts with pictures? See the prompt ideas.
Out of ideas? Tap a few options, or hit Surprise me, and copy the prompt it builds. It writes for Direct mode, where the style you tap is the style you get.
Your prompt
Tap a few options, or try Surprise me.
Swap the highlighted words for your own and you’ve got a prompt. Each one says which mode it’s for: the ones with “me” need DreamBot mode, so they leave the style to the Style menu.
YOUR PET as a ROYAL ROLE on a velvet throne in PLACE, wearing TINY ACCESSORY, ART STYLE, LIGHT.
For example: A tabby cat as a queen on a velvet throne in a candlelit palace hall, wearing a tiny gold crown and an ermine cape, Renaissance oil painting, warm candlelight.
A movie poster for "TITLE" starring me / a Dream Cast name as ROLE, WHAT'S HAPPENING.
For example: A movie poster for "THE LAST WAFFLE" starring me as a fearless diner cook, leaping over the counter as pancakes fly through the air.
An album cover called "ALBUM NAME" for a band of ANIMALS in OUTFITS, posing WHERE, DECADE album cover style.

Tap any phrase to copy it, then add it to the end of a prompt. The art styles steer the look in Direct mode; in DreamBot mode, pick your style from the Style menu instead.
In DreamBot mode, every style in the Style menu wears one of two tags:
Real Face. The real you, true to life, right in the dream. Photography, Canvas, Watercolor, Comics, Pencil, Pop Art and more.
Dream Art. A fun look-alike of you, reimagined in the style. Pixels, Anime, Bricks, Animation, Claymation, Vinyl and more.
Most great prompts follow the same simple shape. Fill in these five and you’re most of the way there.
A note on style. Naming the art style in your prompt works in Direct mode, where DreamBot sends your words to the model exactly as written, so you have full control over the look. In DreamBot mode, the Style you pick in the app sets the look instead, so keep the prompt to who, where and what’s happening. More on the two modes.
Direct mode · Flux 1.1 Pro
A sloth in a tiny chef's hat flips pancakes in a treehouse kitchen, beside a stack of plates, a jar of honey and a sleepy parrot. Glossy 3D animation, warm morning light through the leaves, one pancake stuck to the ceiling.
Subject, setting with props, one style, the light, one finishing touch.
DreamBot’s studio has two modes. Same prompt box, different superpowers.
Direct mode sends your prompt straight to the AI model you picked, with nothing added. You’re in full control: the subject, the setting, the light and the art style all come from what you type. The idea mixer and most of the prompt packs are written for Direct mode.
“A raccoon barista pouring latte art in a cozy café, storybook 3D animation, morning light”
DreamBot mode runs DreamBot’s own engine. Write “me”, “my wife”, “my husband” or a name from your Dream Cast, and the real people are in the dream. You pick the look from the Style menu, so the prompt only needs who, where and what’s happening.
“me and my wife on a gondola in Venice” + the Watercolor style
See DreamBot mode in action in prompts that star you.
No jargon, just five habits that make pictures better, with a few side-by-sides so you can see the difference. They work in both modes, except the art style (see the note in the recipe).
A dog at the beach is nice. A dog on lifeguard duty is a story. Give your star something to do and the whole picture wakes up.
Both made with Nano Banana
"Fun party vibes" is a feeling. Balloons, a three-tier cake and a grandpa blowing out the candles are things you can see, and the fun shows up on its own.
Both made with Flux 1.1 Pro
Ask for watercolor, anime and oil paint all at once and you get a muddle. Pick your favorite and let it run the whole picture: name it in your prompt in Direct mode, or choose it from the Style menu in DreamBot mode.
Both made with Flux 2 Pro
Want the whole outfit in the picture, boots and all? Describe it all the way down to the shoes.
Golden hour, a snowy dusk, one candle at midnight: say when it is and the whole mood changes with it.
Yes. It runs right here in your browser, with nothing to sign up for. Copy the prompt it builds and paste it into DreamBot or any image app.
Direct mode sends your words to the AI model exactly as you wrote them, so you control everything in the prompt, art style included. DreamBot mode runs DreamBot's own engine: write "me", "my wife" or a name to put real people in the picture, and pick the look from the Style menu instead of typing it.
Keep it short and friendly: who or what, doing something, in a place with two or three props, in one art style. "A raccoon barista pouring latte art in a cozy café, storybook 3D animation, morning light" will beat a long list of adjectives every time. Naming the style in the prompt works in Direct mode; in DreamBot mode, pick it from the Style menu.
Usually the most important part is tucked away at the end, or the prompt describes a feeling instead of things. Put the main idea first, name the props you want to see, and if it's still off, try the same prompt on another model.
Copy your prompt, open DreamBot and tap Dream. It’s free to download on iPhone and iPad, and the prompt ideas are there whenever you want inspiration.
