Give it the story before the photographs
You can ask for an outline from a short text description without uploading any images. Describe the occasion, intended audience, tone, and a few moments you want to remember. Use placeholders for names or locations you would rather keep private.
A prompt for an album structure
“Help me outline a five-chapter photo album about a four-day trip with friends. The mood is relaxed and funny. The highlights are arriving by train, a rainy hike, cooking together, and a final morning swim. Suggest short chapter headings and the kinds of photos that would fit each. Do not invent events.”
A prompt for captions
“Give me three caption options for a photo of our picnic after a rainy walk. The detail I want to remember is that everyone’s sandwiches were squashed. Keep each option under 15 words, natural rather than sentimental. Do not add names or places.”
Keep the facts in your hands
- Check every name, date, location, and description against what actually happened.
- Remove details the assistant added without being told.
- Rewrite generic phrases in the way you would tell the story to a friend.
- Avoid assuming emotions or relationships from someone’s appearance.
- Review a provider’s data settings before sharing photographs or personal information.
What is available here
These are prompts you can copy into an assistant of your choice. SkyAlbum does not currently run an AI model, accept AI uploads, or generate captions automatically. AI-assisted titles and captions belong to a later product phase. You can already use our free tools to prepare photos and our downloadable outlines to arrange a story yourself.
