Prompts are the search queries DevTune submits to AI platforms during each run. They are the unit that ties the whole AI Search workspace together: metrics, competitor comparisons, citations, and recommendations all begin with prompts.

​

What a Prompt Represents

A prompt should look like something a real user would ask an AI assistant, for example:

• “What is the best API testing tool for microservices?”
• “How do I implement rate limiting in Node.js?”
• “Compare authentication libraries for React applications”

DevTune sends each prompt to the enabled AI Search platforms and analyzes the responses for your brands, tracked URLs, citations, and competitor presence.

​

The Prompts Tab

The Prompts page combines:

• A topic sidebar
• Prompt management
• Blue-ocean versus red-ocean analysis
• Prompt-level performance views

Use it to understand not just whether you are visible overall, but which specific questions you are winning or losing.

​

Prompt Detail

Opening a prompt shows the platform responses and a persistent side panel with the response context DevTune could recover. Depending on the platform and response, that side panel can include:

• Mentioned Brands
• Citations & Sources
• Web Search Queries
• Search Sources
• X Posts

This makes it easier to inspect how each platform formed the answer, not just whether you appeared in it.

​

Prompt Limits by Plan

Your subscription plan determines how many prompts you can actively track:

​

Blue Ocean and Red Ocean Analysis

DevTune categorizes prompts based on the competitive landscape of the responses.

​

Red Ocean

Red-ocean prompts are highly competitive. Multiple brands are showing up, and improvement usually means displacing an existing competitor.

​

Blue Ocean

Blue-ocean prompts are lower-competition opportunities where AI Search results are less crowded and new presence is easier to establish.

​

Opportunity Thinking

The most valuable prompt work usually comes from:

• Prompts where you are absent but the topic matters
• Prompts where competitors dominate citations
• Prompts where you are already present and can defend that position with better content

​

Prompt Strategy

It helps to mix several prompt types:

• Discovery prompts - broad category exploration
• Evaluation prompts - comparisons and vendor selection
• Integration prompts - implementation and onboarding
• Migration prompts - switching from competitor tools
• Troubleshooting prompts - practical problems and errors

​

Best Practices

• Write prompts the way real users ask them
• Cover the feature areas that actually drive your pipeline
• Group related prompts into topics so you can analyze themes, not just individual queries
• Review prompt detail pages when a metric looks surprising

​

Next Steps

• Topics - Organize prompts by theme
• Citations - See which URLs are being cited for those prompts
• Competitors - Understand who wins the same prompt clusters
• Visibility Metrics - Learn how prompt results feed the KPIs
