Prompts as design intent

Prompts serve as a bridge between your visual thinking and the AI's interpretation capabilities.

Effective prompting

A good prompt acts as a clear bridge between your visual thinking and the AI’s interpretive capabilities. It provides structure without limiting creativity by:

• Specifying details that are hard to express in a sketch (e.g., materials, lighting)

• Highlighting areas open to exploration

• Including relevant technical rendering parameters

Strong prompts guide the AI by clarifying your intent while still allowing room for creative interpretation and variation.

When a prompt is vague, inconsistent, or overly broad, the AI may misinterpret your design intent. This can lead to outcomes that:

• Overlook important visual or material details

• Default to bland or generic results

• Drift significantly from your intended direction

This often occurs when the sketch is ambiguous and the prompt lacks sufficient guidance to steer the AI effectively.
