The library

Pick a task. Make it easier.

All 18 workflows

A few good places to start.

Inside every guide

Five parts. Always in this order.

Every workflow follows the same standard, so you know what you are getting before you paste anything.

How the guides are made
  1. 01

    Before you start

    What to bring, and what to keep out of your AI tool. Most bad outputs start with missing context.

  2. 02

    The workflow

    Four steps from raw input to something usable, including the one people skip.

  3. 03

    The prompt builder

    Fill in the blanks, paste your material, and copy a finished prompt. Nothing you type leaves the page.

  4. 04

    A worked example

    An illustrative input beside the shape of a good result, so you know what you are aiming for.

  5. 05

    The checks

    What to verify before the result goes anywhere, plus the mistake that catches most people.

What you can count on

Honest about what AI does, and what it doesn’t.

Illustrative

Examples are labeled

Every worked example shows the shape of a good result. None of them is a client result or a benchmark.

Checked

Tool facts link to the source

Plans and limits point to each provider’s own page, last checked September 25, 2026.

Independent

No affiliate links

No paid placements either. If that ever changes, it will be labeled where it appears.

Reviewed

Every guide ends with checks

The prompt gets you a draft. The checks are what make it safe to use.

The tool finder

You don’t need every AI tool.

Three questions, two sensible options, and the tradeoffs of each. Every recommendation links to the provider’s own plan page. There are 10 tools in the directory and no affiliate links.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Anything else? Email hello@deadbounce.com

Is Deadbounce free?

Yes. The workflow library, the tool finder, and the starter kit are free, with no account. A paid Workday Kit is planned; it is not on sale yet, and joining its list does not place an order.

Which AI assistant do I need?

Any text-based chat assistant can run the prompts, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Free plans work for most guides. Limits vary by provider and feature, so check your plan for long documents.

Does Deadbounce see what I type into the prompt builder?

No. The builder runs in your browser. What you type is not sent to us or saved; close or reload the page and it’s gone. When you paste a prompt into an AI tool, that tool’s own terms and privacy settings apply.

Can I use the prompts for client work?

Yes. You can copy and adapt the prompts and templates for personal work, internal business use, and client deliverables. Please don’t resell the library or repackage it as a competing product.

Are the examples real results?

No. Examples are illustrative, written to show the shape of a useful result. They are not client results or measured performance. Outputs vary with your input and your tool, which is why every guide ends with checks.

How are tools chosen?

By fit for the task and honest limits, with direct links to each provider’s own plan page. There are no affiliate links or paid placements. If that ever changes, it will be labeled where it appears.
