About

Why BeforePrompt exists.

BeforePrompt is a browser extension that checks your prompt before you send it to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot — and it started as a personal annoyance.

My first prompt was almost never the one that worked. I would send something half-formed, get a mediocre answer, then spend three more messages fixing what I should have said the first time. Every day. Multiply that across a year and it is a genuinely large amount of wasted time and focus.

The frustrating part was that I knew better. I knew to state the format, to lead with the actual request, to say who the answer was for. I just skipped it under time pressure, because nothing was there to catch me. So I built the thing that catches it — a check that reads your draft as you type and points out the one or two fixes that matter, before the bad answer instead of after.

It is not trying to replace how you work. You keep using the same AI tools in the same tabs. BeforePrompt just sits beside the prompt box and makes the gap between what you mean and what the model receives visible while the instruction is still yours to change.

What it stands for

Three things I decided early.

The first check stays on your machine

Scoring your prompt runs locally in your browser. Your text only leaves your computer if you deliberately click a cloud rewrite. Privacy is an engineering decision made early, not a word added to a landing page.

Honest about what is available

The current browser extension, limited tests, exploratory work, and long-term direction are labelled separately. A future idea is never written as if it has already shipped.

You stay in control

BeforePrompt shows you the gap and suggests a stronger prompt. You decide whether to use it, edit it, or ignore it. It never sends or changes anything on its own.
