Questions folks ask
What is Prompt Porch?
Prompt Porch helps you talk to AI tools like ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, or Claude. You type what you want in everyday words, and we give you a ready-to-copy prompt plus a one-line tip on why it works.
What is a prompt?
A prompt is just the message you type to an AI. A clear prompt says who it's for, what you want, the tone, and how long it should be. Prompt Porch writes that part for you.
Do I need to know anything about AI?
Not a thing. Prompt Porch is made for beginners: older adults, small business owners, and students. If you can describe what you want to a friend, you can use it.
Is it free?
Yes. You get 3 free prompts every day, and you don't need an account. Porch Plus is $5 a month or $48 a year (plus tax where it applies) for unlimited prompts and a personal library of saved prompts.
Which AI tools does it work with?
All of them. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or any AI chat.
Can I cancel Porch Plus?
Anytime, in one click with the "Manage or cancel my plan" button. You keep Plus until the end of the month or year you've already paid for.
Do you keep what I type?
No. What you type goes to the AI to write your prompt, and we only keep simple counts. If you're a Plus member and choose to save a prompt to your library, we keep that one for you until you delete it.
