ChatGPT Prompt Generator
Updated for GPT-6 in ChatGPT for everyone, with Intelligent UI (October 2026), across Luna, Sol, Astra and the new GPT-6.1 Terra. Generate optimized prompts using the PTCF structure (Persona, Task, Context, Format) plus what matters on this generation: a clear definition of success, explicit stop conditions for a model that is biased toward action, and subtractive design, where every instruction is stated exactly once.
Be specific about what you want the AI to do
Generated Prompt
Fill in the form and click "Generate" to create an optimized ChatGPT (GPT-6) prompt.
Tip: The more specific your task description and context, the better the generated prompt will perform.
ChatGPT (GPT-6) Tips
- • Say each instruction exactly ONCE: in OpenAI's internal coding-agent evals, leaner prompts scored roughly 10-15% higher while using 41-66% fewer total tokens
- • Use the PTCF structure: Persona, Task, Context, Format. It is still a reliable baseline for ChatGPT
- • Smaller scope wins: shrink any prompt that feels overloaded into one clear deliverable
- • Tell ChatGPT the audience, the format, AND the decision criteria — most prompts fail because one of these is missing
- • Skip "think step by step" — GPT-6 reasons internally and depth is set by the reasoning-effort selector, not by prompt wording
- • GPT-6 acts first and asks later: say what it may decide on its own and when it must stop and check with you
- • GPT-6 defaults to lists and tables — if you want flowing prose, ask for it explicitly
- • Want a calculator, chart, form or mini-game? Ask for it by name: ChatGPT's Intelligent UI can build interactive tools right in the chat
- • Sharper acceptance criteria beat a higher reasoning setting: say how a correct answer is checked
- • Use few-shot examples for pattern-matching tasks (translations, classifications, formatting), not for open-ended reasoning

ChatGPT Model & Prompting Update Log
GPT-6.1 Terra
● LatestOctober 26, 2026- OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra (API ID gpt-6.1-terra), a fast, efficient model for detailed visual reasoning, precise computer use and clear, natural writing.
- OpenAI says it completes computer-use tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol, and its API price ($1 input / $5 output per million tokens) is half that of GPT-6.1 Sol.
- It carries a roughly 1M-token context window, up to 128K output tokens, and the same reasoning-effort range from none to max (medium by default).
- In ChatGPT it is available to Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu users inside ChatGPT Work and Codex, not in Chat. Some Plus and Pro users now get Terra at Medium in Work's default presets. OpenAI still recommends Sol or Astra for the most complex coding.
- OpenAI's effort advice for Terra: start at medium and raise it only if the quality gain is worth the extra time and tokens. Its knowledge cutoff (June 1, 2026) is the latest in the GPT-6 line-up.
- Prompting is unchanged: the same PTCF structure, subtractive design and stop conditions apply. For computer-use tasks, name the app, the exact steps or end state, and when to stop.
GPT-6 for everyone + Intelligent UI
October 7, 2026- GPT-6 now powers Chat for every ChatGPT user: paid plans (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise) get GPT-6 Sol, and Free and Go users get GPT-6 Luna from the following day. ChatGPT Work and Codex models are unchanged.
- Intelligent UI: answers can combine text with visuals and interactive elements such as charts, buttons, forms and widgets, and ChatGPT can build small tools like calculators, bill splitters and games right in the conversation.
- ChatGPT can start answering while it is still thinking, then add detail as its reasoning finishes, so long answers appear sooner.
- OpenAI says GPT-6 is better at deciding when to search, with GPT-6 Instant starting search-backed answers about 44% sooner than GPT-5.6 Instant, plus fewer unnecessary refusals.
- Prompting tip: when you want something interactive, name the tool, its inputs and its outputs. Everything else about GPT-6 prompting stays the same.
GPT-6.1 Sol
September 29, 2026- OpenAI launched GPT-6.1 Sol at DevDay (API ID gpt-6.1-sol). OpenAI says it nearly matches GPT-6 Astra at about one fifth of the token price.
- Reasoning effort runs low, medium (default), high, xhigh and max; like Astra, it has no "none" setting.
- Its biggest gain is factual accuracy at low reasoning effort, where OpenAI reports the factual-error rate falling from 11.4% to 7.7%. That makes low effort a safer default for everyday lookups.
- In ChatGPT it is available to Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu users inside ChatGPT Work and Codex. It is not in Chat yet, where paid plans still get GPT-6 Sol.
- Prompting is unchanged: the same PTCF structure, subtractive design and stop conditions apply.
GPT-6 Sol & GPT-6 Luna
September 22, 2026- OpenAI completed the GPT-6 family with Sol (strong reasoning for demanding tasks) and Luna (efficient, scalable work), joining Astra at the top.
- Both carry a context window of roughly 1M tokens, and GPT-6 Sol costs about half as much through the API as GPT-5.6 Sol did.
- Reasoning effort runs from none through low, medium (the default), high and xhigh to max. Astra has no "none" setting — use low instead.
- New API behaviours for agents: tools can run asynchronously while the model keeps reasoning, you can steer a turn mid-flight, and reasoning effort can be changed mid-conversation without losing the cache.
- At launch there was no GPT-6 Terra, so the family had three tiers rather than GPT-5.6's Luna / Terra / Sol line-up (GPT-6.1 Terra followed on October 26). GPT-5.5 retires from ChatGPT and Codex on October 14, 2026.
GPT-6 Astra
September 4, 2026- OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra, its most capable model, after a one-day limited preview. It is state of the art on computer use, web browsing, software engineering, mathematics and cybersecurity.
- Astra was trained on OpenAI's largest run to date and uses a new "recurrent depth" (looped transformer) reasoning technique for efficiency. Safety researchers have raised concerns that this makes its reasoning harder to monitor.
- Prompting changed with it: the model is biased toward action and follow-through, so tell it what it may decide alone, which instructions win when they conflict, and when to stop.
- It defaults to lists and tables and to plain language — ask for prose explicitly, and don't fight its dislike of filler phrases like "it's worth noting" or "bottom line".
- User instructions take precedence over guidance from skills or tool descriptions when the two conflict.
Ultrafast mode preview
August 13, 2026- OpenAI previewed Ultrafast mode for GPT-5.6 Sol, running the flagship at up to 14x the standard speed.
- Free users moved to GPT-5.6 Luna as the default model, with unlimited text chats.
GPT-5.6 — Luna, Terra & Sol
July 9, 2026- OpenAI replaced the single flagship with a three-tier family: Luna (fastest and cheapest, now the free-tier default), Terra (balanced everyday work, matching GPT-5.5 quality at about half the cost) and Sol (the flagship for the hardest coding, long agentic runs, science and security research).
- Sol is OpenAI's strongest coding and cybersecurity model to date, scoring 80 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index v1.1 at maximum reasoning — while using less than half the output tokens and costing roughly a third less than the closest competitor.
- The whole family is markedly more token-efficient: Sol is about 54% more efficient than the previous generation on coding tasks.
- A new Ultra setting coordinates several agents across parallel workstreams to finish complex tasks faster.
- Prompting changed with it. In a sample of OpenAI's internal coding-agent evals, leaner system prompts (repeated instructions and examples removed, tool descriptions simplified) RAISED evaluation scores by roughly 10-15% while cutting total tokens 41-66% and cost 33-67%. OpenAI calls the ranges directional. Repetition now hurts.
- A better-specified prompt beats a higher reasoning setting — the guidance is to improve the evidence and the acceptance criteria rather than demanding more exhaustive thinking.
- ChatGPT Work shipped alongside the model family.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ChatGPT prompt generator?
A ChatGPT prompt generator helps you create optimized, well-structured prompts that produce better results from ChatGPT. Instead of writing vague requests, it structures your inputs into prompts that follow proven prompt engineering best practices — including role assignment, context setting, output formatting, and constraint specification.
How does this tool improve my ChatGPT results?
It applies the PTCF structure — Persona, Task, Context, Format — plus the practices that matter on GPT-6: subtractive design (every instruction stated exactly once), explicit audience, explicit decision criteria, concrete acceptance criteria, clear stop conditions, and tight scope. Many prompts fail because the audience or the format was never named, or because the same rule was repeated three times; this tool fixes both.
What is the PTCF framework?
PTCF stands for Persona (who ChatGPT should act as), Task (the one specific deliverable), Context (the why, the for-whom, the constraints), and Format (the exact output shape — table, JSON, bulleted list, etc.). It is a widely used baseline rather than an official OpenAI framework, and it maps cleanly onto what OpenAI's GPT-6 guide asks for: clear intent, scope, success criteria and an explicit output shape.
Which GPT-6 model should I use — Luna, Sol or Astra?
Luna is the efficient tier for fast, high-volume, straightforward work. Sol is the strong-reasoning tier for demanding analysis, coding and multi-step tasks, at roughly half the API price of GPT-5.6 Sol. Astra is OpenAI's most capable model, state of the art on computer use, browsing, software engineering and cybersecurity — reach for it on long agentic workflows and the hardest problems. GPT-6.1 Sol (September 29, 2026) sits between them: close to Astra quality at about a fifth of the token price, available to paid plans in ChatGPT Work, Codex and the API but not yet in Chat. GPT-6.1 Terra (October 26, 2026) is the fast, efficient option for visual reasoning, computer use and natural writing: OpenAI says it finishes computer-use tasks over three times faster than Astra and 6.1 Sol at half 6.1 Sol's API price, and it is also limited to ChatGPT Work, Codex and the API. For the most complex coding, OpenAI still points to Sol or Astra. A useful habit is to start one tier lower than you think you need; GPT-6 Sol often holds quality on work you would previously have sent to the flagship.
What changed about prompting with GPT-6?
Three things. First, GPT-6 is biased toward action: it treats a request as an instruction to do the work and carry it to completion, so a good prompt now says what the model may decide on its own, which instructions take priority, and when to stop and check in. Second, it defaults to lists and tables and plain, jargon-free writing — ask for prose explicitly when you want it. Third, the subtractive-design lesson from GPT-5.6 still holds: say each instruction once, because repetition lowers quality, and a sharper definition of success beats a higher reasoning setting. Our generator applies all three automatically.
Which GPT-6 model do I get in ChatGPT?
Since October 7, 2026, GPT-6 runs in ChatGPT for everyone. Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users get GPT-6 Sol in Chat, and Free and Go users get GPT-6 Luna (rolling out from October 8). The models inside ChatGPT Work and Codex did not change with this release, and older models stay selectable in the model menu. If you don't see GPT-6 yet, it may not have reached your account.
What is Intelligent UI and how do I prompt for it?
Intelligent UI arrived with the October 7 GPT-6 rollout. ChatGPT can now mix text with visuals and interactive elements such as charts, tappable buttons, forms and widgets, and it can build small tools inside the conversation, like calculators, bill splitters or games. To get one reliably, name the tool you want, the inputs it should take, and what it should output, for example "Build an interactive loan calculator with sliders for amount, rate and term that shows the monthly payment and a payoff chart." Pick "Interactive Widget (Intelligent UI)" as the output format and our generator writes the prompt that way.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes. You get 1 free prompt generation per day with no signup required. For unlimited access, sign up for a Promptslove membership which includes all AI tools and 29,000+ premium prompts.
Can I use these prompts with other AI tools?
Yes — the generated prompts follow universal prompt engineering principles and work well with Claude, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, Mistral, MiniMax, Qwen, DeepSeek, and Perplexity. PTCF, role assignment, context, and explicit format are model-agnostic.
What makes a good ChatGPT prompt?
A good ChatGPT prompt names: (1) a clear persona, (2) one specific task, (3) the relevant context including audience and decision criteria, (4) the exact output format and length, (5) explicit constraints — and states each of them exactly once. On GPT-6 that last part matters as much as the rest: repetition and overlapping restatement measurably lower output quality, so a lean brief beats a padded one.
Should I use chain-of-thought prompting?
Much less than it used to. GPT-6 reasons internally and its depth is controlled by the reasoning-effort selector, not by prompt wording, so adding "think step by step" purely to make it think harder just spends tokens. Keep it only when you genuinely want the reasoning shown in the output — for a worked derivation, an audit trail, or a plan you intend to review. Modern ChatGPT consolidates context well, so keep related instructions in one prompt rather than fragmenting them.
How many prompts can I generate for free?
You get 1 free prompt generation every 24 hours. This resets automatically. For unlimited generations, consider signing up for a Promptslove membership.
