OpenAI Just dropped its Official Prompt Optimizer

OpenAI just dropped something new. A prompt optimizer for ChatGPT. And yes—it’s free.

Here’s how it works. You write a prompt. Doesn’t matter if it’s messy or vague. Then hit the “Optimize” button in the Playground. In seconds, your rough draft turns into a clean, structured version designed to squeeze the best out of GPT-5.

Think of it like spellcheck, but for prompts. Instead of just fixing grammar, it fixes structure, removes fluff, and clarifies what you actually want.

And the cool part? It explains why it made each change. Almost like a teacher whispering in your ear. So next time, you’ll know how to write it better yourself.

The process is dead simple:

1. Head to the OpenAI Playground
2. Drop in your original prompt
3. Click “Optimize”
4. Copy the new version back into ChatGPT

I tried it earlier today. My original prompt asked, “Write a post about healthy breakfasts.” Simple enough. The optimizer turned it into: “Write a blog-style article that lists three healthy breakfast ideas for busy college students. Include quick recipes and explain why they’re good for energy.” Way sharper. The end result? ChatGPT gave me exactly what I was looking for, without me needing to tweak anything.

So instead of wrestling with your wording, you can focus on the ideas. Because, let’s be honest, coming up with the right words for AI is harder than it looks. This tool takes care of that.

And then… you see the difference. Cleaner answers. Less back-and-forth. More confidence in what you’ll get.

It’s like having training wheels for prompting. Eventually, you learn how to ride on your own. But until then? The optimizer keeps you steady.
