The Infinite Scroll Trap

Endless prompts. Endless scrolling.Zero results.

FlowGPT has 100,000+ community prompts. Most are roleplay and games. You could spend hours scrolling - or 3 minutes building exactly what you need.

FlowGPT's free tier lets you browse. Ours lets you BUILD - 5 prompts free, no scrolling.

The Popularity Problem

Trending does not mean effective

Popular prompts are viral because they are entertaining - not because they solve YOUR specific problem.

The Moderation Problem

FlowGPT is the Wild West of GenAI apps- TechCrunch, Feb 2024

NSFW content, jailbreak apps, and moderation gaps mean you are sifting through a lot to find professional prompts.

Entertainment vs Business

Entertainment constitutes 32% of FlowGPT chatbots vs 25% workplace- arXiv research, Aug 2024

Top categories are roleplay, character AI, and games - not professional use cases.

Quality Variability

Quality and safety vary across community submissions- Skywork AI review

No quality standards. Popular does not mean effective for YOUR specific task.

The AskSmarter difference

Instead of hoping a popular prompt fits your needs, we ask about YOUR context, YOUR goals, YOUR constraints - then build a prompt that actually works for YOUR situation.

Honest take

Which one is right for you?

Different tools for different needs. Here is when each makes sense.

FlowGPT might be better if...

  • You enjoy roleplay, character AI, or creative games

  • You have time to sift through content to find gems

AskSmarter is better if...

  • You need prompts for professional work tasks

  • You prefer building over browsing

  • You need consistent quality, not hit-or-miss

  • You want simple, predictable pricing

Common questions

Why not just use FlowGPT for free?

FlowGPT is optimized for engagement - keeping you scrolling through community content. If you enjoy browsing and have time, it works. But if you need a prompt for a specific professional task, you will spend more time searching than it would take to build one from scratch with AskSmarter.

Is €12/month worth it vs free FlowGPT?

If you use AI for work, yes. Calculate your time: 15-30 minutes browsing FlowGPT vs 3 minutes building on AskSmarter. At just a few sessions per week, the time savings alone pay for the subscription many times over.

What about all those 100K+ prompts on FlowGPT?

More is not better. Most are entertainment-focused (roleplay, games), user-generated with variable quality, and not tailored to your specific needs. A prompt built for YOUR situation beats a popular generic one.

Does AskSmarter have community features?

We focus on outcomes, not engagement. Your prompts are saved to your personal library, refined with version history, and ready to reuse. No social features - just prompts that work.

Can I still use FlowGPT alongside AskSmarter?

Absolutely. Some people browse FlowGPT for inspiration, then build tailored versions with AskSmarter. Use whatever works for you - we just think building is faster than browsing.

What if I want roleplay or character AI prompts?

FlowGPT is probably better for entertainment use cases. AskSmarter is built for professionals who need work done - marketing, research, writing, analysis, and business tasks.
