Managing Prompts

Create, tag, filter, archive, and manage your monitored prompts with variables, custom tags, and bulk operations.

Managing prompts

The Monitoring tab shows all prompts Vizzybl is actively tracking across AI platforms. This page covers how to create, organize, filter, and manage your prompts.

Prompt statuses

Every prompt has a status that controls whether it is actively scraped.

StatusWhat it means
ActiveScraped on every monitoring cycle across all enabled AI platforms
PartialSome platforms returned results, others failed. Still included in monitoring
GeneratedCreated but not yet activated for monitoring. Appears on the Generated tab
ArchivedRemoved from active monitoring. Historical data is preserved

The Monitoring tab shows prompts with Active and Partial status. Use the Generated tab to review and activate new prompts, and the Archived tab to view or restore old ones.

Creating prompts manually

Click + Add Manual in the toolbar to open the manual entry modal.

  1. Enter your prompt text
  2. Vizzybl auto-tags it using AI (intent, funnel stage, brand flag)
  3. Click Save to add it directly to monitoring

Prompt variables

Variables let you create prompt templates that expand into multiple prompts automatically.

Syntax

Use square brackets to define a variable: Best [product] in [city]

Setting variable values

Define variable values in Settings > Brand. Each variable maps to an array of values.

Example:

VariableValues
[product]Hairdryer, Curler, Straightener
[city]London, New York, Tokyo

How expansion works

Vizzybl generates the cartesian product of all variable values. The example above produces 9 prompts:

  • "Best Hairdryer in London"
  • "Best Hairdryer in New York"
  • "Best Hairdryer in Tokyo"
  • "Best Curler in London"
  • … and so on

Safety limit: A single template can expand into a maximum of 10,000 prompts. Review the expansion preview before confirming.

Expansion preview

Before saving, an expansion preview shows every generated prompt. You can deselect individual expansions and see how many credits the full set will consume against your plan limit.

Custom tags

Tags help you organize and filter prompts by business-relevant dimensions.

Built-in tags

  • Funnel stage — Top (awareness), Middle (consideration), Bottom (decision)
  • Intent — Informational, Navigational, Transactional, Commercial
  • Brand flag — Whether the prompt explicitly names a brand

Custom dimensions

Create your own tag dimensions from the tag management interface. Custom tags appear as additional filter columns in the prompt table and in the dashboard filter bar.

Auto-tagging

When you generate prompts, Vizzybl uses AI to automatically assign tags. You can edit tags manually at any time by clicking the tag cells in the prompt table.

Filtering prompts

Use the column header filters to narrow your prompt list:

  • Platform — Show prompts scraped on specific AI platforms
  • Intent type — Branded, Discovery, or Competitive
  • Funnel stage — Top, Middle, or Bottom
  • Response type — Filter by data source (API or Browser)
  • Country — Filter by target geography
  • Custom tags — Any dimensions you have defined

Filters combine with the dashboard filter bar for cross-cutting analysis.

Expanding prompt rows

Click any prompt row to expand it and see:

  • Per-platform results with the latest AI response
  • Retry button for platforms that failed
  • Citation extraction and sentiment indicators
  • Full response text with brand mention highlighting

Archiving and restoring

To archive a prompt, change its status dropdown to Archived. The prompt moves to the Archived tab and stops being scraped. Historical data is preserved.

To restore an archived prompt, open the Archived tab, find the prompt, and change its status back to Active.

Export

Click Export in the toolbar to download your prompt data as a CSV file. The export includes prompt text, status, tags, response counts, and the date of last scraping.

Competitor mentions

The Competitors column shows how many of your tracked competitors were mentioned in AI responses to each prompt. Click the count to open a modal showing which competitors appeared and how often.

Tip: If you haven't set up competitors yet, the column shows a "Set up" link that takes you to Settings > Brand.
