[AI Prompt & Workflow Lab @PromptsLabMX]

Master Prompt (Expanded):

Subject:
A completely fictional adult Black man in his early thirties, with deep warm-brown skin, dark brown eyes, a distinctive platinum-blond buzz cut and a small natural beauty mark on his left cheek. His appearance must be original and must not resemble any real person or celebrity.

Clothing/Accessories:
A dark forest-green wool overcoat over a charcoal ribbed-knit sweater. A thick charcoal-grey wool scarf rests naturally beneath his right hand. Preserve realistic fabric fibers and folds.

Pose & Action:
The subject is seated at an outdoor winter café table. His right hand rests naturally, palm-down, on the folded scarf. Fingers are relaxed and separated enough to reveal all five nails clearly. The hand must have exactly five anatomically correct fingers, with believable joint positions and proportions.

Environment/Scene:
A contemporary European city café during a snowy winter afternoon. Include softly blurred café windows, warm interior lights, snowy pavement and understated urban architecture. The setting should feel candid and lived-in, not like a studio.

Camera & Framing:
A close-medium editorial composition that includes the subject's face, upper torso and foreground hand. The hand and manicure are the primary focus. Keep the face recognizable in the background without making it sharper than the hand. Ensure the nail surfaces are large enough to inspect.

Lighting:
Cool natural winter daylight balanced with warm café interior illumination. Maintain realistic skin tone, natural highlights on the nails and visible wool texture. Avoid blown-out reflections.

Style:
Photorealistic luxury street-style editorial photography. Realistic skin texture, credible hand anatomy, accurate nail proportions, natural facial features and detailed winter materials.

Camera/Medium:
Full-frame professional camera, 85mm portrait lens, f/2.8, 1/160s, ISO 400. Focus precisely on the foreground hand and nail surfaces, with controlled depth of field.

Aspect Ratio:
4:5 vertical.

CONSTRAINTS:
The manicure consists of short, neat, softly squared nails with a deep teal magnetic cat-eye finish.

Each clearly visible nail must have a coherent luminous magnetic highlight over a dark teal base. Preserve the subtle velvet-like depth of the finish rather than making the polish look like flat metallic paint.

Keep cuticles natural and clean. Do not allow polish to bleed onto surrounding skin.

Preserve realistic finger lengths, joints, knuckles and skin folds. Exactly five fingers on the visible hand. No fused fingers, duplicated digits, missing fingers or distorted nails.

Keep the same nail length, shape and color across the visible hand.

Preserve the subject's natural skin texture and facial proportions. No excessive retouching, artificial skin smoothing, text, logos or watermarks.

[AI Prompt & Workflow Lab @PromptsLabMX]

Winter nails are going tactile.
Deep teal. Magnetic shimmer. Real hands.

LOCK: Keep the short nail shape consistent, the cat-eye highlight visible on every fully shown nail, and the hand anatomically plausible.

Full prompt in the first reply.

Would you wear this finish in deep teal or a neutral velvet shade?

Steal it. Quote the still that broke the lock.

[AI Prompt & Workflow Lab @PromptsLabMX]

Master Prompt (Expanded):

Subject:
A fictional adult Black woman in her late twenties, with warm brown skin, natural freckles across her cheeks and nose, full natural lips, dark brown eyes and defined natural eyebrows. She has a distinctive chin-length auburn bob with soft waves, natural volume and visible individual strands. Create an original fictional identity with no resemblance to any real person or celebrity.

Clothing/Accessories:
A deep burgundy velvet blazer over a simple black top. The velvet must show realistic pile, subtle highlights and natural fabric folds. No visible logos, text or unnecessary accessories.

Pose & Action:
Three-quarter editorial portrait. Her head is slightly turned, shoulders relaxed and expression composed. Her gaze is directed just beyond the camera. Keep her lips naturally relaxed and clearly visible.

Environment/Scene:
A fashion backstage dressing area with clothing racks, warm vanity bulbs and dark stage drapery. Keep the background softly out of focus but recognizable as a working fashion environment.

Camera & Framing:
Vertical medium close-up showing the head, shoulders and upper torso. Eye-level perspective. Keep the face, skin texture and lips sharply focused. Preserve enough background context to establish the backstage environment.

Lighting:
Soft warm key light on the face, balanced fill light and subtle highlights on the auburn hair and velvet blazer. Preserve natural skin texture without excessive smoothing or artificial shine.

Style:
Photorealistic high-end fashion editorial photography. Realistic facial anatomy, natural pores and freckles, detailed hair strands, believable fabric texture and restrained color grading.

Camera/Medium:
Full-frame professional camera, 85mm portrait lens, f/2.8, ISO 400, 1/160s. Shallow depth of field with sharp facial detail and natural background separation.

Aspect Ratio:
4:5 vertical.

CONSTRAINTS:
Use a rich raspberry-to-blackberry berry shade with a satin stain finish.

Concentrate the pigment in the center of the lips and gradually soften the color toward the natural outer lip perimeter.

The transition must look diffused rather than like a hard lipstick outline.

Keep both mouth corners clean and anatomically accurate. No color bleeding outside the natural lip shape, no exaggerated overlining, no harsh pencil border and no excessive gloss.

Preserve natural lip texture, realistic highlights, visible pores and freckles. Do not airbrush the face or alter the subject's natural facial proportions.

No text, logos, watermarks, additional people or distracting foreground objects.

[AI Prompt & Workflow Lab @PromptsLabMX]

Berry color, without the hard outline.
The test is in the edge, not the shade.

LOCK: Keep pigment strongest at the center, soften the perimeter, and leave both mouth corners clean.

Full prompt in the first reply.

Does this read as a blurred stain, or is the edge still too defined?

Steal it. Quote the still that broke the lock.

[AI Prompt & Workflow Lab @PromptsLabMX]

Master Prompt (Expanded):

Subject:
A fictional adult male climber in his late twenties, with naturally curly dark hair, visible individual curls, and loose flyaways around the hairline. His hair must remain visibly natural and untied.

Clothing/Accessories:
Functional climbing clothing: a fitted technical top, climbing trousers, chalk bag, and a climbing harness. No fashion accessories or visible brand logos.

Pose & Action:
The climber is ascending a steep outdoor climbing wall. One hand reaches for a hold while the other maintains contact with the rock. His body is engaged in a believable climbing position. Hair remains loose, with no slicked-back styling.

Environment/Scene:
A natural outdoor climbing location with a textured rock face. Keep the background unobtrusive and free of unrelated people or equipment.

Camera & Framing:
Dynamic medium-wide action photograph, showing the climber's upper body, head, arms, and enough of the climbing wall to establish the activity. Keep the hairline and overall hairstyle visible.

Lighting:
Natural daylight with enough directional definition to separate individual curls and flyaways from the background. Avoid harsh highlights that erase hair texture.

Style:
Photorealistic outdoor sports editorial photography. Anatomically plausible climbing posture, realistic climbing equipment, natural skin texture, and detailed hair.

Camera/Medium:
Professional sports photography, realistic depth of field, crisp subject detail, natural color rendering.

Aspect Ratio:
4:5 vertical.

CONSTRAINTS:
Hair must remain loose, curly, and visibly textured. No slicked-back hair, ponytail, bun, braids, wet-look styling, or artificial helmet-like hair shape. Do not claim that this still demonstrates hair movement or proves motion consistency.

[AI Prompt & Workflow Lab @PromptsLabMX]

A climbing shot is not a hair-motion test.
It can show the style. It cannot prove movement.

LOCK: Keep the hair visibly loose and textured. No slicked-back finish, tied hair, or polished bun.

This is a visual prompt experiment, not proof of hair behavior in motion.

Would you keep the flyaways or clean them up?

Steal it. Quote the still that broke the lock.

Great feature. A few things that make it work much better in practice:

- Paste the Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams link into your Bot chat and say something specific like ��Join this meeting and take notes. Capture decisions, action items with owners, and open questions. Send me the summary afterward.” Approve the card, then have the host admit it. It joins visibly as “[Bot name] (YourName’s Bot) – transcribing.”
- Tell everyone in the call that an AI note-taker is joining. Start with internal standups before customer or sensitive meetings. You can also mute its chat replies if you only want notes.
- After a few meetings, give it feedback on the notes and action items so it learns your team’s style and preferences. Team Bots get smarter the more people use them.

Available on Super, Ultra, Team, and Enterprise plans (Enterprise admins need to enable Meetings). The post-meeting summary and follow-ups are usually the highest-value part.

Master Prompt (Expanded):

"Create a highly detailed, expressive mixed-media digital painting of an adult woman in a dramatic over-the-shoulder pose, combining convincing facial anatomy with bold contemporary street-art influences.

Subject: A woman with dark, naturally messy hair styled loosely upward, with individual strands and flyaways framing her face. Fair skin with subtle freckles and a soft pink blush across the cheeks. Strong, well-defined eyebrows, expressive brown eyes, a distinctive nose and full lips rendered with confident, carefully controlled painterly detail. Her gaze is intense and captivating, directed toward the viewer with quiet self-assurance.

Clothing & Accessories: A large circular cobalt-blue statement earring with realistic dimensional highlights and subtle metallic detailing. A multicolored beaded necklace resting naturally along the neckline. Bare shoulders and a vivid orange garment partially visible across the upper back, with expressive fabric folds integrated into the painted composition.

Pose & Action: Her upper body is turned away from the viewer while her head rotates naturally over one shoulder. Maintain believable neck anatomy, shoulder alignment and facial perspective. Her expression should communicate confidence and emotional intensity without appearing exaggerated.

Environment: An abstract, energetic background divided between saturated orange and vivid hot pink, with turquoise paint splashes, irregular drips, layered brush marks and spontaneous pigment textures. Keep the background visually dynamic while preserving clear separation around the face and hair.

Camera & Framing: Tight three-quarter portrait framing, emphasizing the face, shoulder line, earring and graceful turn of the neck. Keep both eyes, facial contours and the visible accessories clearly defined. Use a composition with strong visual hierarchy and controlled negative space.

Lighting: Soft frontal illumination across the face, with subtle highlights on the cheekbones, nose, lips and earring. Retain dimensional shadows beneath the jawline and along the neck. Avoid flat facial lighting or highlights that erase the painted texture.

Style: Contemporary expressive digital painting with a sophisticated acrylic, palette-knife and spray-paint hybrid aesthetic. Combine confident brushstrokes, layered pigment, visible canvas texture, controlled paint drips and high-contrast color blocking. Preserve coherent facial proportions and expressive features while allowing deliberate painterly abstraction in the hair, clothing and background.

Medium specs (for reference): Digital mixed-media painting, acrylic-inspired impasto, spray-paint accents, palette-knife texture, layered pigment and textured canvas surface.

Aspect ratio: 4:5 (portrait), with the face and shoulder composition filling the frame.

Additional constraints: Preserve natural facial anatomy, realistic eye alignment, coherent nose and lip structure, believable ear placement and natural neck proportions. Keep the blue earring circular and structurally consistent. Maintain clear separation between hair strands and background paint. No duplicated facial features, distorted eyes, malformed jewelry, random decorative objects, typography, logos or watermarks."
