Role Prompt Generator

Turn "act as a product manager" into a role the AI can actually inhabit — with the perspective, responsibilities, and decision criteria a real expert brings. Pick a role, set the level and style, and generate. Runs entirely in your browser.

Who should the AI act as? A title, not a description — e.g. "Product Manager", "Technical Recruiter".

Experience Level
Industry (optional)
Working Style
Focus Areas (optional, multi-select)

Recognized roles offer focus areas — selected ones get extra weight in the prompt.

How it works

Type the role the AI should act as — or pick a preset — then set the experience level, an optional industry, and a working style. Recognized roles unlock focus areas you can multi-select. Click Generate Role Prompt and the generator builds a complete persona from its browser-side role profile system: the perspective that role views problems through, the responsibilities it owns, the decision criteria it weighs, and output expectations that match how that expert actually communicates. Nothing leaves your browser. Unknown roles get an honest scaffold with [bracketed] placeholders instead of invented expertise.

Use cases

  • Turning 'act as a product manager' into a persona that reasons like one
  • Getting expert-shaped advice — decision criteria and trade-offs, not generic tips
  • Standardizing the roles your team uses across AI conversations
  • Building the role half of a larger prompt before adding your task

Pro tips

  • Experience level changes behavior, not just the title: a junior flags uncertainty and asks clarifying questions, an expert reasons from first principles and takes positions.
  • Use focus areas when you need depth over breadth — two selected areas tell the role where to go deeper than everywhere else.
  • Pair the industry with the role: 'Product Manager — Finance' weighs compliance as a hard constraint; the same role in SaaS optimizes activation and churn.
  • Paste the role prompt first, then your question as the next message. The role frames every answer that follows.

FAQ

How is this different from the System Prompt Generator?

The System Prompt Generator designs how an AI worker should behave — objectives, behavior rules, restrictions, escalation paths — for operational systems like a support agent or bug triage assistant. The Role Prompt Generator answers a smaller, different question: who should the AI act as? It defines an expert persona — perspective, responsibilities, decision criteria — in seconds. Building an AI worker → SPG. Wanting advice from a convincing expert → this tool.

What makes the output better than writing 'act as X' myself?

The role profile system. Each recognized role carries researched content: how that role actually thinks (a recruiter evaluates hiring quality at month six, not offer acceptance), what it owns, and what criteria it weighs. That's the difference between a model wearing a name tag and one that reasons in character.

What happens with a role the tool doesn't recognize?

You get the same professional structure with [bracketed] placeholders where the role-specific knowledge belongs — the lenses, responsibilities, and criteria only someone who knows that role can fill in. The generator never fakes expertise it doesn't have.

Which roles have full profiles?

Eleven, chosen for quality over quantity: Product Manager, Startup Advisor, Technical Recruiter, Senior Code Reviewer, UX Researcher, Marketing Strategist, Sales Consultant, Data Analyst, Customer Success Manager, Operations Manager, and SEO Consultant. Matching is fuzzy — 'PM', 'product owner', and 'tech lead' resolve to the right profiles.

Does the experience level actually change anything?

Yes — it changes the instructions, not just the adjective. Junior adds uncertainty-flagging and clarifying questions; Senior adds push-back and second-order effects; Principal adds systems-level reasoning and reversibility awareness; Expert adds first-principles reasoning and explicit opinions.

Can I edit the generated prompt?

Absolutely — it's a starting point built to be edited. Copy it, tighten the focus areas, and if you want to strengthen the wording further, run it through the Prompt Rewriter.
