# AI Search Prompts

> Manage the prompts DevTune submits to AI platforms each run and inspect prompt-level responses, citations, brand mentions, and competitive context.

Prompts are the search queries DevTune submits to AI platforms during each run. They are the unit that ties **Insights › Visibility** 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

Open **Insights › Visibility**, then the **Prompts** tab. It 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:

| Plan | Prompt Limit |
| - | - |
| Plus | 50 |
| Pro | 200 |
| Agency | 200 for each paid project, pooled |
| Enterprise | 200 to 600+, set by your contract |

When more prompts are enabled than your plan runs, a banner at the top of each project screen shows how many do not run. Select **Manage prompts** to turn some off, or **Upgrade plan**.

## 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](/search-tracking/topics)** - Organize prompts by theme
* **[Citations](/search-tracking/citations)** - See which URLs are being cited for those prompts
* **[Competitors](/search-tracking/competitors)** - Understand who wins the same prompt clusters
* **[Visibility Metrics](/search-tracking/visibility-metrics)** - Learn how prompt results feed the KPIs
