Prompts are the questions Pharos sends to AI platforms on your behalf. Every response Pharos collects is analyzed to determine whether your brand was mentioned, how prominently it appeared, and what competitors were cited. The Prompts page is where you manage that question set and explore the results — add or remove prompts, filter by intent, spot patterns in the heatmap, and track your competitive rankings by topic.

Organic mention rate

The subtitle of the Prompts page shows your organic mention rate — the percentage of non-branded queries (those that do not include your brand name) where your brand appears in the AI response. This is the headline signal for true AI discoverability. A prompt is classified as branded if its text contains your brand name; all other prompts contribute to the organic rate.

Managing prompts

Adding prompts

1

Open the Add Prompts dialog

Click Add Prompts in the top-right corner of the All Prompts tab.
2

Enter or import your prompts

Type prompts manually, paste a list, or use the AI generator to suggest prompts based on your brand and topics. Each prompt can have a topic, an intent, and a persona tag assigned at creation time.
3

Save

Click Add to save the prompts. New prompts enter the analysis queue and results typically appear within 15–30 minutes.

Editing a prompt

Click the edit icon (pencil) on any prompt row to update its text, topic assignment, or intent classification. Edits take effect on the next analysis run.

Deleting a prompt

Click the delete icon on a prompt row to remove it. You will see a confirmation before the deletion is finalized. To remove multiple prompts at once, select them with the checkboxes and use the bulk delete action.

Importing prompts

The Add Prompts dialog also accepts a bulk import. Paste a newline-separated list of prompt texts or upload a CSV with a text column. You can assign a topic and intent to all imported prompts at once.

Filtering prompts

The All Prompts tab includes four filters you can combine to narrow the prompt list.

Brand mention

Filter to Branded (prompt text contains your brand name), Non-branded, or Any. Non-branded prompts are the ones that drive your organic mention rate.

Intent

Filter by query intent: Informational, Commercial, Transactional, or Navigational. Intent is assigned when you add a prompt and can be changed at any time.

Coverage

Filter to Appearing in responses (brand mentioned in ≥ 50% of analyses) or Not appearing to quickly find prompts where you have low visibility.

Persona tag

If you have defined personas, filter to prompts tagged with a specific persona or show only untagged prompts. Persona tags group prompts by the customer segment they represent.
Click Clear all to reset all active filters at once.

Bulk actions

Select prompts using the checkboxes, then use the bulk action bar to:
  • Delete — permanently remove the selected prompts (requires confirmation)
  • Assign topic — move all selected prompts to a topic or remove their topic assignment
  • Assign persona — tag or untag all selected prompts with a persona
Bulk actions apply only to the prompts visible on the current page after filtering. Prompts hidden by an active filter are skipped.

Tabs

The main list of your prompts, organized by topic. Each topic section shows its prompts along with a coverage percentage — the share of analyzed prompts where your brand was mentioned. Expand a topic to see individual prompts and their starred status.Use the search box to filter by prompt text or topic name. The Export CSV button downloads the full visible prompt list (after all active filters are applied) including prompt text, creation date, activity status, and last analysis timestamp.
Starring a prompt (click the star icon) moves it to the top of its topic section so you can keep your highest-priority queries visible without filtering.

Prompt detail

Click any prompt text to open the prompt detail view. This shows:
  • The full prompt text and its metadata (topic, intent, persona)
  • A timeline of all analysis runs for that prompt
  • Per-provider mention rates (how often each AI platform mentions your brand for this prompt)
  • Competitor mentions extracted from the responses
From the detail view you can edit the prompt, star it, or delete it.
