# Prompts

> Build the library of questions KIME tracks across AI models, and organize them with categories, tags, and volume.

Prompts are the heart of KIME. Each prompt is a natural-language question — the kind a real customer would type into an AI assistant — that KIME runs across your selected models so it can measure how your brand shows up.

## Prompts vs. keywords

Traditional SEO targets keywords that return a list of links. AI assistants instead synthesize a conversational answer, so KIME tracks **prompts**: full questions that capture intent and context, like *"What are the best gym tops for hot-weather training?"* A good prompt mirrors how people *actually* talk to and ask AI.

Every effective prompt has three ingredients:

* **Subject** — the product, brand, or category in question.
* **Context** — details that narrow the answer, like "for marathon training" or "under \$50".
* **Intent** — what the user wants: a recommendation, a comparison, or a specific fact.

## Add prompts

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="From suggestions">
    KIME proposes prompts based on your brand and category. Open the **Proposed** tab on the Prompts page, then **Approve** the ones that fit (they start tracking on the next refresh) or **Reject** the rest.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Manually">
    Click **Add prompt**, type the question you want to track, choose the market and category, and save. It joins your active list and is included in the next refresh.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Bulk import (CSV)">
    Import many prompts at once with a CSV upload. Map your columns to Kime fields during import — you can include a **Tags** column (comma- or semicolon-separated) to tag prompts as they're created.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Organize your library

As your library grows, these tools keep it manageable and your reporting sharp.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Categories" icon="folder-tree">
    Group prompts into categories that reflect your business — product lines, comparison queries, problem-solution questions, branded vs. non-branded, and so on. Most dashboards and analysis pages can be filtered by category. Manage categories in **Workspace settings**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Tags" icon="tags">
    Create colored tags to label and filter prompts across the product. Assign them individually, when editing a prompt, in bulk from the prompts table, or via CSV import. Tags appear on prompt rows and can filter the Dashboard, Sources, Competitor Analysis, AI Perception, and more. Manage tags in **Workspace settings**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Volume" icon="signal">
    Each prompt shows a color-coded **Volume** signal that estimates the search demand behind its intent. Use it to prioritize high-volume topics so your optimization effort follows real customer demand, not guesswork.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Manage your active prompts

Your prompt library refreshes automatically on a regular cycle, so your scores keep reflecting the latest AI responses. Use the **Active**, **Proposed**, and **Inactive** views to control what's currently being tracked, and archive prompts you no longer need.
