Create a Prompt with AI Prompt Builder
Use the built-in AI assistant in the MPM editor to create professional Midjourney prompts through natural conversation. Just describe your vision and let AI configure all the settings for you!
Overview
The AI Prompt Builder is a built-in AI assistant that lives right inside the MPM editor. Instead of manually clicking through dozens of style options, simply describe your vision in a chat conversation and the AI will configure all the settings for you - directly in the editor!
Benefits
- 10x Faster: Create complex prompts in seconds instead of minutes
- Built-in AI: Powered by Claude Sonnet, directly in the MPM editor
- Conversational: Describe your vision naturally, see settings update live
- Seamless: All settings applied directly in the editor - no copy/paste needed
How It Works
Open the Editor
Go to the prompt editor to create a new prompt. You'll see the "Build with AI" panel on the right side of the editor.
Describe Your Vision
Type a description of the image you want to create in the chat box. Be as detailed or as simple as you like—the AI will ask follow-up questions if needed.
Example:
"I want to create a futuristic cyberpunk cityscape at night with neon lights and rain-slicked streets"
Chat with AI
The AI assistant (powered by Claude Sonnet) will have a conversation with you about your vision—asking about aspect ratio, mood, lighting, colors, and style preferences.
Example conversation:
AI: "What aspect ratio would you like for this cyberpunk scene?"
You: "16:9 for a cinematic feel"
AI: "Great choice! And what mood - dark and atmospheric with high contrast?"
You: "Yes, with lots of neon reflections"
Watch Settings Update
As you chat, watch the editor update in real-time! The AI applies settings directly to the prompt builder—you'll see the base prompt, style selections, parameters, and more all update automatically.
No copy/paste needed! Settings are applied directly to the editor - just continue the conversation until your prompt is perfect.
Refine & Fine-Tune
Your prompt is fully editable! After the AI configures the initial settings, you can manually adjust anything using the visual editor. Change styles, tweak parameters, or add reference images.
Save & Copy
Click "Save" to save your prompt to your project. Then click "Copy" to copy the finalized prompt to your clipboard, ready to paste into Midjourney!
Web (Recommended):
- 1. Click "COPY" in MPM
- 2. Visit midjourney.com and paste into the Create page
- 3. Click submit and watch your vision come to life!
Discord (Optional):
Check "Add /imagine for Discord" before copying, then paste into your Midjourney Discord channel.
Example Configuration
Here's an example of the configuration the AI might generate for a cyberpunk cityscape prompt:
{
"basePrompt": "A cyberpunk street scene at night with neon signs...",
"midjourneyConfig": {
"aspectRatio": "16:9",
"mode": "Standard",
"version": "6.1",
"quality": 1,
"stylization": 400,
"weirdness": 200,
"chaos": 25
},
"styleSelections": {
"theme": "cyberpunk",
"emotionMood": ["mysterious", "intense"],
"cameraAnglesAndShots": ["low-angle-shot", "wide-shot"],
"naturalLighting": ["blue-hour"],
"timeOfDay": "midnight",
"ambianceStyling": ["cinematic", "moody"],
"ambientLighting": ["neon-glow"],
"lightingEffects": ["back-light", "lens-flare"],
"colorTreatment": ["saturated", "cool-tones"],
"reflectionsRefractions": ["water-reflections"]
}
}Add Reference Images
Combine AI prompts with reference images
After the AI builds your prompt, use the editor's Image Library to add style references, image prompts, and character references to further guide Midjourney's output.
Reference Types
- • Image Prompts (--iw): Use images as creative starting points
- • Style References (--sref): Match visual styles from reference images
- • Character References (--cref): Maintain character consistency
- • Omni References (--oref): Reference anything in v7
How to Add References
- 1. Open the Image Library panel in the editor
- 2. Upload or select images from your library
- 3. Check the boxes to assign as style/character/image refs
- 4. Adjust weights as needed

See our Reference Image System guide for detailed instructions on using all reference types effectively.
Tips & Best Practices
Do
- ✓ Be descriptive about your vision
- ✓ Mention mood, lighting, and style preferences
- ✓ Let the AI suggest style combinations
- ✓ Continue the conversation to refine settings
- ✓ Add reference images after AI configures the prompt
Don't
- ✗ Rush the conversation - take time to describe details
- ✗ Forget to save your prompt after the AI configures it
- ✗ Ignore the AI's suggestions - they're tailored to Midjourney
- ✗ Skip reviewing the final settings before copying
Troubleshooting
AI Not Responding
Problem: The AI assistant isn't responding to messages
Solution: Check your internet connection and try refreshing the page. The AI service may be temporarily busy - wait a moment and try again.
Settings Not Updating
Problem: Chatting with AI but editor settings aren't changing
Solution: Make sure you're on the "Build with AI" tab in the editor. The AI needs to reach a point in the conversation where it generates a configuration. Keep chatting to answer its questions about your vision.
Save Button Disabled
Problem: Can't save my prompt after using AI builder
Solution: Make sure you have: (1) A base prompt text entered, (2) A valid prompt name, and (3) Selected a project to save to.
