Cognenza Lab
The prompt workshop
A text game: you get a weak prompt, improve it step by step, test it in your own AI and rank up. Free, no sign-up.
How to play
- Pick the best block for each improvement: context, role, format, examples and constraints.
- Copy the improved prompt and test it in your AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot…).
- Come back and tick how it went. You earn Cognenza Points, seals and ranks.
What’s stored and where: without an account, your progress (choices, ticks and recipes) is stored only in this browser (localStorage) once you press “Start”, and it never leaves it. An account is optional: if you create one and sign in, your progress on each level is also saved to your account, on our server, when you finish it. Cognenza runs no AI and you never paste anything here.
World 1 · First jobs
You join Estudio Brújula as an apprentice: a small studio that uses AI to handle jobs for local businesses. Nora, the workshop lead, hands you the briefs. Clients always write weak prompts — your job is to turn them into prompts that work.
- TextThe email nobody understood
- ProductivityThe impossible week
- ImageThe market poster
- BusinessThe product page full of hot air
- SecurityThe customer spreadsheet
- VideoBOSS · The impossible client
What you learn in the prompt workshop
Each level starts with a job from a fictional business and a weak prompt. You fix it with the five blocks that change an answer most: context, role, format, examples and constraints. Then you copy the result, test it in the AI you already use (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or another) and check against a rubric whether it got better.
An example
- Weak prompt
- «Write an email to a customer about the delay.»
- Improved prompt
- «You manage orders for an online shop. Write an email of no more than 120 words to a customer whose order is arriving three days late: explain why, give the new date and offer her free delivery on her next order. Friendly tone, no generic excuses.»
Who it’s for
Anyone who already uses AI at work or at home and finds the answers come out generic. You don’t need to code or pay for a subscription.
How long it takes
World 1 has six short levels (text, image, video, productivity, business and security), and there’s a three-question challenge every day. Play in short bursts: your progress is saved.
