How to Write Zite Prompts

Zite (from the Fillout team) builds business apps from business descriptions. The winning prompt style reads like a memo about how your operation works — process, records, who can do what — not like a spec. Here is the pattern, plus a free generator that writes it for you.

How to write Zite prompts that work

Lead with the business process

Start with how the work flows: "A client submits a request; a manager assigns it; the team updates status until done." Zite shapes tables, screens, and notifications around that sentence.

Records with fields, in plain words

"Each Job has a client, a status, a due date, and notes." That is a table definition Zite understands — no schema language needed.

Permissions in business terms

"My team edits; clients can view only their own jobs." Zite turns roles into access rules from sentences like these.

State the design direction once

"Clean, professional, modern" — said once, it stays consistent across every screen Zite generates.

Add sample records

Ask for a few realistic sample rows so you can verify the app works the moment it is built — and so Zite calibrates fields to real data.

A starter template

Build [APP/FEATURE] for my business.

Process: [who does what, in order].

Each [RECORD] has [field], [field], and [field].

Permissions: [role] can [action]; [role] can only [action].

Design: clean and professional. Add 3–4 realistic sample records so I can verify the flow.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Zite different to prompt?

It thinks in business terms. The best prompts read like a description of how your operation runs — process first, then records and permissions in plain sentences. The free generator shapes your description into exactly that.

How do I get permissions right?

Describe them the way you would to an employee: "my team edits, clients view only." Avoid roles-and-rules jargon — Zite converts business sentences into access control itself.

Why add sample records to prompts?

They let you verify the whole flow immediately and keep field types realistic (real dates, real names). One line in the prompt saves a round of fixes.
