Suggested Prompts is an AI-powered feature that generates prompt ideas based on a topic you describe. Unlike Quick Start (which works from your business description), Suggested Prompts lets you drill into specific topics to expand your monitoring coverage.

How It Works

  1. Navigate to your project’s Prompts tab
  2. Click Suggest Prompts
  3. Describe the topic you’d like to explore (e.g., “sustainable packaging for e-commerce businesses”)
  4. Add an optional description for more context
  5. Define the target audience for the prompts
  6. Select a country and language
  7. Click Generate
Surfacd uses AI to generate a set of relevant prompts based on your topic. These appear with a Suggestion status — they are not active until you review and accept them.
Prompt generation runs in the background. You’ll see a progress indicator while prompts are being created — you can navigate away and come back later.

Reviewing Suggestions

Once generated, suggested prompts appear in your prompts list with a Suggestion badge. For each prompt, you can:
  • Accept — moves the prompt to Active status and includes it in future data collection runs
  • Decline — marks the prompt as Declined and removes it from the active view
You can accept or decline prompts individually or in bulk.

What Happens After Accepting

When you accept a suggested prompt:
  • It becomes Active and is included in future data collection runs
  • A keyword is automatically extracted from the prompt text
  • The prompt counts toward your project’s prompt limit and credit calculations

When to Use Suggested Prompts

ScenarioExample
Expanding into a new topic area”AI-powered customer service chatbots”
Discovering questions you hadn’t considered”What concerns do enterprise buyers have about cloud migration?”
Building coverage for a product launch”Electric vehicle fleet management for logistics companies”
Filling gaps in your prompt library”Data privacy regulations in healthcare”

Tips

  • Be specific with your topic description — “CRM for financial advisors” generates better prompts than just “CRM”
  • Include your target audience to get prompts that match real buyer questions
  • Review all suggestions before accepting — remove any that are too niche or off-topic for your needs
  • Use Suggested Prompts alongside other methods: Quick Start for broad coverage, Suggested Prompts for deep dives into specific areas
  • Don’t worry about duplicates — Surfacd automatically detects and skips prompts that already exist in your project
