About this list
This catalog is a reference, not a filter. When you browse the prompt catalog, each prompt shows the broad group (Text, Image, Video, Music, Voice, Any) it works best with, plus the specific tool we tested it on. Most prompts are model-agnostic; the tool field is a recommendation, not a requirement.
The landscape changes fast. We update this list whenever a model ships a new generation, and we mark tools that are sunsetting (like Sora) so you can plan around them.
