Midjourney· an imageKey art for a mobile game about a cat detective, cartoonish style. Medium shot of an anthropomorphic cat in detective attire (fedora, trench coat) holding a magnifying glass, sharp eyes, confident expression. Setting is a moody 1950s film noir office with venetian blind shadows, a desk with case files scattered about. Warm amber and deep blue colour palette. Illustrative, polished, game-ready quality. --ar 9:16 --quality 2
Works where you already type
Neither of these prompts is wrong. The second one just says the things you only think to say on the second attempt, and the difference shows up where the work gets seen.

12:04make me a thumbnail for a video about a coffee shop
Create a thumbnail for a video about a coffee shop. The image should be a 16:9 rectangle that fills the entire frame edge to edge with no padding or border. Show an inviting coffee shop scene, either the storefront, interior, or a signature drink, composed so it reads clearly and draws attention at small size. Use warm, appetizing colours and natural or cafe lighting. Make it visually distinct and immediately recognisable as being about coffee. Avoid text, watermarks, and overly busy backgrounds that would muddy the image when scaled down.
logo for a coffee shop called ember
Design a logo mark for Ember, a coffee shop. The mark should be simple and memorable, work equally well at small sizes (cup sleeve, favicon) and large sizes (signage), and remain legible in a single colour and in solid black. Use clean lines and avoid gradients, drop shadows, photographic elements and text. Deliver it as a scalable vector on a transparent background.
make me a workout app
Build a strength-training app for a push/pull/legs split. Today’s session on the home screen: each lift with sets, reps and the weight used last time, the current set lit, weekly totals and a coach character up top.
Ask Twice knows where you are typing before it writes a word: which app you are in, and which site is in your address bar when that app is a browser. A prompt gets the constraints it was missing. A message gets shorter.
Still image, with flags
The same description, then the flags the destination actually speaks.

Ask Twice builds a picture of how you write from your own drafts, and carries it into every rewrite.
write in lower case throughout, including the first word of sentences. use short sentences and keep drafts brief. omit greetings unless essential. when you rewrite, preserve the terminology the author uses and their direct, unadorned phrasing.
Not a rewrite. This is the profile itself, sent with every one.

Your drafts
Kept here, summarised remotely
A capped file in Application Support, emptied every time the profile is rebuilt. Rebuilding it sends that batch to be summarised, and keeps none of it.
Your profile
Yours to read
The same words it sends to the model, not a summary of them.
Your language
Stays yours
Portuguese stays Portuguese, Japanese stays Japanese. Never quietly translated.
Select a paragraph and the rest of the field is untouched, prefix and suffix intact. Streaming switches off in that mode, because the first write would consume the selection.
blockers: art assets, store screenshots, QA signoff
Every re-run starts from your original draft, never from the last rewrite. Press the hotkey twice, or 1 through 5, and you are always one keystroke from where you started.
Type an instruction, “much shorter”, “add examples”, “be blunt”, and press Return. Your caret never leaves your own field: the typing is read through the event tap, not by stealing focus.
