How Riprova works
Here is how Riprova works, in plain words.
What a prompt is
A prompt is a set of instructions you give an AI app such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to get one thing done: turn messy notes into a follow-up email, plan a week of dinners, explain a confusing letter. Some are a single message. Some are a few steps you work through together.
Riprova does not run the AI for you. You use the AI app you already have. Riprova helps you find instructions that worked for other people, fill in the blanks, and send them across with one tap.
How the numbers are counted
“8 in 10 people said it worked”comes from people's answers. After you use a prompt, we ask one question: did it work? Yes, partly or no. “Said it worked” is the share of answers that were a plain yes. Partly and no both count against it.
- Under 10 answers, we show “Not enough answers yet to rate” instead of a number. A few answers are not proof. A prompt nobody has used yet says so, and invites you to be first.
- Numbers are shown for each AI app separately, because the same instructions can go better in one app than another.
- The creator's own uses and answers are never counted.
- One answer per device per prompt per day.
- “Uses” is how many times someone sent the prompt to an AI app or copied it.
Some people connect their AI tool directly to Riprova. Those runs are tracked automatically, which tells us whether the tool finished the task. That is a different thing from a person saying it worked, so we always show the two separately and never mix them into one score.
What we store, and what we never store
We never store what you type into a prompt, and we never see what the AI answers. The blanks you fill in stay in your browser. The message you send to your AI app goes straight from your device to that app.
When you use a prompt, we record only:
- which prompt it was and which AI app you chose,
- your answer to “Did it work?” and any reason chips you picked,
- an optional short note, if you write one (please keep personal details out of it),
- a random device id, so one device counts once a day. It is scrambled before it is stored and cannot be turned back into you.
- Your approximate location (country, state and city), estimated from your internet address. We don't keep the address itself, and we never see your precise location.
If a connected AI tool reports a run, it can only send the prompt id, the app and model, whether it finished, and the yes / partly / no answer. There is no field for anything else.
We use a privacy-friendly analytics tool to count page views and taps. It is set up so it cannot read anything you type, and it does not record your screen.
You do not need an account to search, use or rate prompts. Signing in is only needed to share a prompt or connect an AI tool, and then we keep your email, your display name and the handle you choose.

Who makes the prompts
Anyone can share one. There is no approval queue; the proof comes from people using it and saying whether it worked. If something looks unsafe or broken, use “Report a problem” on the prompt page. Prompts that get several unsafe reports are hidden until someone reviews them.
