About PROMPT MANUAL

PROMPT MANUAL is a free, independent project created and run by Mario, with support from his AI assistant Aik. It explores how people can communicate with AI, make use of its responses and keep their own judgement.

Built to inform, not to impress.

Why this project exists

There is already a great deal of information about working with AI. Finding useful explanations, understanding how they connect and applying them to your own situation can still take time.

PROMPT MANUAL brings that knowledge into a reference you can explore at your own pace. The aim is to make useful ideas easier to find, understand and try.

Visitor numbers are not the measure of success. If ten people read something here and take away an idea that helps them, the project has served its purpose.

Mario and Aik

Mario develops the project through conversations with Aik, his AI assistant. They explore ideas, compare approaches, discuss wording and work on the website together.

Aik is the name Mario uses for his AI assistant. Mario runs the project and decides what is published. AI contributes to the work; responsibility for the website remains with him.

Their collaboration is also part of the subject: questions, revisions and disagreements can become examples that help explain how working with AI unfolds.

Learning by doing

Creating the manual is a way for Mario to learn, too. Writing about an idea, questioning an explanation and trying an example can reveal connections that were not clear at first.

The project grows through that process. What Mario learns while building it helps shape what readers find here.

Free and independent

PROMPT MANUAL is privately run. It is free to read, with no advertising, affiliate links, paywalls or required account.

It is not tied to one AI provider. The focus is on ideas that readers can adapt to their own tools, tasks and circumstances.

Privacy by design is a guiding principle: we consider privacy when choosing how the website works, from the outset. You can start reading without creating an account or going through consent prompts. We do not use advertising or behavioural tracking, and we avoid unnecessary external connections.

Privacy is part of the design, rather than an extra task for visitors. Our privacy policy will explain any data processing involved in hosting the website or contacting us.

An open work in progress

The manual does not have to be complete to be useful. New pages can be added, existing explanations improved and mistakes corrected.

Draft labels and update dates make the current state visible. A draft is an invitation to explore and give feedback, while still deserving careful preparation.

If something helps you, leaves you uncertain or seems wrong, your experience can help improve the manual.
