What is PromptBase?
PromptBase is an online marketplace where people buy and sell AI prompts and agent skills. It has 330,000+ prompts made by independent creators, for models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Midjourney and many more.
PromptBase launched in 2022. Today it is used by 520,000+ people and has 44,000+ reviews from buyers.
What are prompts and skills?
A prompt is the text you give an AI model to get the result you want, for example an image of a certain subject in a certain style. A well written prompt gives you good results every time, without the trial and error.
Prompts on PromptBase are templates. They have placeholders in square brackets, like [your subject here], that you change to fit what you're making.
A skill is a SKILL.md file for an AI agent such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. The agent picks the skill up by itself whenever your request matches what the skill is for.
The people who write prompts for a living are often called prompt engineers: they are skilled at writing prompts that make an AI model produce consistent results.
What do people make with PromptBase?
People use prompts from PromptBase to make:
- Images, like logos, product photos, posters, illustrations and t-shirt designs
- Videos, like product ads and viral videos
- Writing, like marketing copy, emails and business plans
- Apps, websites and video games
How does PromptBase work?
For buyers: browse or search the marketplace. Every listing shows example outputs, reviews and a price. Once you buy a prompt you get the full prompt in your account straight away, and you can use it as often as you like. You can also download free prompts, or subscribe to PromptBase Select for 10 downloads a month.
For sellers: anyone can list a prompt for sale. Each one is reviewed before it goes live, and you earn money on every sale.
How do I know a prompt will work?
- Every prompt is reviewed and tested before it goes live.
- Every listing shows real outputs made with the prompt.
- Buyers leave public ratings and reviews.
- If a prompt doesn't work as advertised, our money-back guarantee covers you.
Can I use PromptBase from an AI agent?
Yes. You can connect PromptBase to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other agents, then ask your agent to find a prompt for what you're making. It can search the marketplace, open the prompts you own and download free prompts. You don't need a paid plan.
An agent can't pay for anything. For a paid prompt it gives you a checkout link to buy it yourself, and it asks before using a PromptBase Select download. Free prompts it downloads count towards your monthly limit.
See PromptBase for AI agents for how to connect.
