AI Tool Quick Starts

Pick the tool you opened from the directory and finish one small task. Each section gives you a practical first workflow and a prompt or brief you can adapt.

For tools that take natural-language instructions, paste the prompt there. For editors and specialist apps, use it in your AI assistant to prepare the script, brief or checklist, then carry that into the tool. These examples do not assume every app has the same chat interface.
