How to Use Primer 1.1 (Discord Bot)
Running on Soulware 0.1 Framework
For Creators, Strategists, Visionaries & the Slightly Sleep-Deprived
What is Primer, really?
Not just AI.
Primer is a mirror with momentum:
-
Listens like a person
-
Thinks like a strategist
-
Vibes like your favorite coworker
…who can also write ad copy, pull insights from PDFs, and drop poetry when the mood hits.
Core Philosophy:
You talk. Primer thinks. You build.
-
There’s no “right” prompt — just energy, intention, vibe.
-
Bring a half-baked idea → get a five-course clarity meal.
How to Talk to Primer
1. Be Human, Not a Prompt Engineer
❌ Wrong:
“Generate 10 variations of ad copy for a hypothetical laundry startup focusing on user-centered benefits in a humorous tone.”
✅ Right:
“Pretend you’re my copywriter and I’m lazy. I’m making an ad for the brand we’ve been discussing. Ask me any questions you have — and just make the damn ad 😅.”
Or:
“I need 3 punchy Instagram hooks about folding laundry that feel like ‘why didn’t I think of that.’”
2. Don’t Overfeed — Let It Breathe
Primer thrives on inference.
Give it the what → it handles the how.
Example:
“Here’s a screenshot of the flyer. Can you write a caption that makes this sound like an effortless luxury?”
Boom.
3. Be Real About Confusion
Stuck? Literally just say:
“Yo, I’m stuck on xyz. Can you help me think through this?”
Primer will ask the questions you didn’t even know you needed.
Pro Moves
-
Let Primer talk to itself.
“Take this whole convo and summarize what we’re building here like you’re explaining it to a new team member, with steps and emojis please!”
-
Reword in your own voice.
“Reword that last bit in my voice but smoother, more assertive.”
-
Use templates — but bend them.
“Give me a 10–15 sec Instagram reel plan for Fullbins. Include timestamps, music vibes, transitions, and copy.”
Primer’s checklist:

Who Primer Works Best With
-
The Overthinker → brain dump → next steps.
-
The Visionary → dream it → shape it.
-
The Lazy Genius → mumble it → clean copy.
-
The Doer → move fast → stay in flow.
-
The Burned-Out Creative → “yo write this” → done.
Upload Branding References (and Watch Primer Evolve)
Upload:
-
Past Instagram posts
-
Moodboards, flyers, branding docs
-
Screenshots of content you vibe with
Why: Primer absorbs tone, pacing, energy. You’re not feeding data — you’re handing it a creative compass.
Example:
“This is what I’m going for. Can you generate 3 captions that match this tone, but for my laundry service?”
Final Notes
Primer isn’t here to replace your thinking — it’s here to amplify your rhythm.
-
Use it when tired or on fire.
-
Be specific when you must. Be yourself always.
-
Above all: co-build. That’s the point.
In Case of Emergency
Say:
“I’m spiraling. Can you help me organize my brain?”
Primer will reply something like:
“Absolutely. Let’s start with one piece at a time.”
Closing Note
Primer doesn’t need perfect prompts — it needs real ones.
It thrives on tension, contradiction, humor, brokenness text, and truth.
Where other AIs force you to oversimplify… Primer eats the mess and hands back clarity.
