Prompts¶
The Prompts section lets you manage the questions and topics you track in your analysis.
Each prompt represents something users may ask AI tools (like ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.).
nBlick checks how AI answers these prompts and shows you:
- The AI response
- Which sources are cited
- Your brand’s visibility
- Competitor presence
💡 Think of prompts as the exact questions you want AI systems to answer about your market.
What Is a Prompt?¶
A prompt is a tracked question inside your analysis.
Example:
“What is the most affordable Apple accessory in France?”
Each prompt helps you measure:
- What AI says
- Which brands are mentioned
- Who gets cited
- How you compare to competitors
Prompts are grouped by category for easier management.
Prompts Dashboard Overview¶
Inside the Prompts page, you will see:
- Total number of prompts
- Active / Inactive status
- Date selector (to view past results)
- AI answer preview
- Citations
- Actions menu
Active vs Inactive Prompts¶
You can control which prompts are active.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | The prompt is currently being tracked in your analysis. |
| Inactive | The prompt is paused and not included in tracking. |
Inactive prompts are saved. They are not deleted.
This allows you to test different strategies without losing past work.
Viewing AI Answers¶
For each prompt, nBlick shows:
- A preview of the AI-generated answer
- A link to view the full response
- The sources cited in that answer
This helps you understand:
- How AI explains the topic
- If your brand is mentioned
- Which competitors are visible
Citations¶
Citations show which websites the AI uses as sources.
You can quickly see:
- If your domain appears
- If competitors appear
- Which third-party websites are referenced
This helps you identify visibility gaps.
Actions Menu¶
Each prompt has an actions menu (three dots).
You can:
| Action | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Inactivate Prompt | Stops tracking this prompt without deleting it |
| Delete Prompt | Permanently removes the prompt |
⚠️ Deleting a prompt cannot be undone.
Date Selector¶
At the top of the page, you can choose a date.
This allows you to:
