About prompts.chat
The story behind the first-ever AI prompts library, created 2 weeks after ChatGPT was announced.
Our Story
prompts.chat is the web visualization of the Awesome ChatGPT Prompts repository. It started as a personal project by @f to keep ChatGPT prompts organized, back when ChatGPT had no history feature in its initial version.
The Awesome ChatGPT Prompts repository was created on December 5, 2022, just 2 weeks after ChatGPT was first announced to the world. What began as a simple solution became the go-to resource for millions of AI enthusiasts.
Loved by AI pioneers, including OpenAI co-founders Greg Brockman and Wojciech Zaremba.
Completely free and open source from day one.
Our Goal
We believe in the power of sharing. Our mission is to make AI context engineering techniques shared by millions, from the community, to everyone.
Every prompt, every technique, every insight shared here belongs to humanity. That's why we chose the CC0 (Public Domain) license: no restrictions, no attribution required. Just pure knowledge for all.
Whether you're a student learning AI, a developer building the next breakthrough, or simply curious about what's possible: this is your library. Use it, share it, build upon it.
