Stop AI from making things up.
Type what you want in plain words. PromptSmith builds a structured prompt with built-in accuracy guardrails, laid out the way each AI model works best, so you get answers that admit what they don't know instead of inventing it.

PromptSmith is an app for Windows, Mac and Android that turns one ordinary sentence into a well-built prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and over 100 other AI models, with instructions that push the AI to stay honest.
Most people type something short and hope for the best. The AI then fills the gaps with confident guesses, invented facts, fake links and made-up quotes. PromptSmith writes the part everyone skips: a clear role, a clear task, rules that say “if you are not sure, say so,” a request for evidence, and a self-check before the final answer.
Each AI model likes a different layout, so PromptSmith formats the same request differently for each model you tick: tagged sections for Claude, clear headings for ChatGPT, context-first for Gemini, and scene-style prompts for image and video generators.
It all happens on your computer. What you type is never sent to us, there is no account, and there is no subscription. We only check your license key.
An honest note: a good prompt lowers the chance of made-up answers. It cannot remove it. Always check anything important.
You type one sentence. PromptSmith builds a complete, ready-to-paste prompt for every AI model you tick, all at once, without sending a word of it anywhere.

Say what you want in ordinary words, or start from one of 14 built-in templates.
Choose from 130 AI models. Each one gets the prompt layout it responds to best.
Standard, Strict or Maximum accuracy rules, plus optional guardrails for links, math, dates and more.
One click copies the prompt. Another copies it and opens Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for you.
Standard, Strict or Maximum. Maximum adds confidence labels, source rules, and a self-check pass before the final answer.
No invented links, step-by-step math, today's date and knowledge-cutoff warnings, exact quotes, plain language, stay on topic, and a say-so-when-it-can't-be-answered rule.
130 models across chatbots, search assistants, coding tools, open-source models, image and video generators, each with the layout that works best for it.
Paste a prompt you already use. PromptSmith rebuilds it with the missing guardrails and lets you say what to change.
See what each prompt includes and what is missing, scored out of 100, with plain-language tips.
Paste text or notes and the prompt tells the AI to answer only from them, and to say so when the answer is not there.
Ready-made starting points for research, summaries, emails, coding and more, with {blanks} you fill in.
Every prompt is saved automatically. Search, star favorites, and export or import your whole library as a file.
Save your favorite combination of AI models and switch between sets in one click.
Keyboard shortcuts, light and dark themes, and a standing-instructions box that adds your preferences to every prompt.
What you type stays on your computer. No account, no analytics, no cloud. Only your license key is checked.
Press Check for updates to see if a new version is available. Updates only download when you choose.
Most prompt tools help you write a nicer prompt. PromptSmith is built to write a more honest one.
The accuracy rules, the confidence labels, the “I don't know” permission and the self-check pass are the core of every prompt, not an extra you have to remember. We did not find any of the tools below advertising anything like this on their pricing or feature pages.
Tick several models and get a separately formatted prompt for each, side by side. Claude-only and OpenAI-only generators cannot do that, and they only write for their own models.
PromptSmith runs on your computer. There is no account to create, and what you type is never uploaded. Online generators have to receive your text to work.
$29 one time, covers up to 3 devices, updates included. Several competing tools charge every month, or every year.
The prompt score tells you in plain words what a prompt is missing. No other tool in the table below lists a prompt score.
No API key to paste in, no credits that run out, no monthly request cap. Build as many prompts as you like.

Competitor details come from each company's public website and published reviews, checked October 9, 2026. “Not advertised” or “Not listed” means we did not find it on their pricing or feature pages; it does not prove a tool lacks it. Features and prices change, so please confirm on their sites. PromptSmith writes prompts; it does not run them or guarantee any AI's answers. PromptPerfect, another well-known tool, is not shown because its status is unclear.
No. A good prompt makes mistakes less likely and makes the AI say when it is unsure, but it cannot remove them. Always check anything important.
