Hey, it's Cindy 🌱 All 5 codes from the reel are here with the full prompt for each, written so you can drop your own product in.
btw the waitlist for AI System Club is now open! If you're keen on using AI to automate your content, video editing, job search, business or build AI agents, feel free to sign up (only if you want to hehe). Ps. the waitlist gets first dibs:)

The one photo everything comes from
All five codes run off a single product photo, so five minutes spent on that photo changes every image that follows. You do not need a studio.
🪟 Shoot near a window, not under a ceiling light. Daylight from the side gives you shape and a soft shadow. Overhead light flattens everything and makes the label hard to read.
🧼 Use a plain surface. A wooden table, a white shelf, a clean benchtop. A busy background gives the model more to reinvent and less to keep.
🏷️ Label straight to camera, in focus. This is the one that matters. If your label is sharp and readable, it stays sharp and readable in nearly every generation.
📐 Take three: straight on, slight angle, close-up. Different codes suit different angles, and having all three saves you reshooting halfway through.
the setup
How to run a code
🖼️ Open ChatGPT Images. Ask for an image in a normal chat, or select More and then Images. It is on every plan, free included, with fewer images a day on free. Source: Images in ChatGPT.
📎 Attach the photo, then type the code first. The code sets the style, the sentence after it describes what you want. Uploading an existing image and describing the change is exactly how ChatGPT Images is built to work.
📏 Set the aspect ratio before you generate. You can generate in any ratio. 4:5 for a feed post, 1:1 for a carousel slide, 9:16 for a story. Use the picker, or write the ratio into the prompt.
🎯 Fix one word rather than starting again. If a label is misspelled or one corner is wrong, select that area with the selection tool and describe the fix. You keep the version you already liked.
These codes are not secret commands. The author of the original list calls them "visual shorthand", and that is exactly why they work on any product and why you can write your own. If a leading slash opens ChatGPT's suggestion menu and blocks you sending, drop the slash, the word does the work on its own.
code 1
/anatomy, the carousel slide
Labels the parts of your product so the viewer learns something instead of being sold to. This is the one that makes a saveable first slide, because it answers a question people are quietly wondering about.
🦴 /anatomy
/anatomy of this [product], labelling [part 1], [part 2], [part 3] and [part 4].
Keep my actual product from the attached photo as the hero in the centre, unchanged and sharp, then pull short labels out to the side with thin leader lines pointing at the right spot. Write the labels exactly as follows so nothing is invented: "[label 1]", "[label 2]", "[label 3]", "[label 4]". Clean editorial look on a warm neutral background, one accent colour, crisp correctly spelled text, 1:1.
Worked example for a bag of coffee: parts are the beans, the roast level, the origin and the tasting notes. For a skincare bottle it is the active ingredient, the texture, the pump and the size. For a service, label the stages of what the client gets.
code 2
/timeline, the origin story
Turns how your product is made into one graphic. People buy the story as much as the thing, and a timeline is the format that carries it without you writing three paragraphs nobody reads.
📆 /timeline
/timeline the story of how this [product] is made, from [first stage] to [last stage].
Draw a horizontal timeline with 4 labelled stages running left to right, each with a short title and one line of no more than eight words underneath. The stages are exactly: "[stage 1]", "[stage 2]", "[stage 3]", "[stage 4]". Put my actual product from the attached photo at the end of the timeline, unchanged and sharp, as the finished result. Clean modern editorial style, warm neutral ground, one accent colour, crisp correctly spelled labels, 4:5.
Use your real stages and your real dates. A made-up step is the kind of detail a customer notices, and the whole value of this one is that it sounds like your business rather than a stock story. If you do not make the product yourself, run the same code on your brand's milestones instead: started, first stockist, first thousand orders, today.
code 3
/comparison, the obvious choice
Puts your product beside the thing people currently use. It works because you are not claiming to be better, you are showing the two next to each other and letting the viewer decide.
⚖️ /comparison
/comparison this [product] next to [the generic alternative, for example a plain jar of instant coffee], side by side.
Use my actual product from the attached photo on the right, unchanged, and a generic unbranded version of the alternative on the left with no logos or readable brand names anywhere. Compare them across three labelled rows: "[criterion 1]", "[criterion 2]", "[criterion 3]", with a short honest line in each cell. Clean modern layout, white ground, crisp correctly spelled labels, 1:1.
Compare against a category, never a named competitor. "A generic jar of instant" is fair game, a rival brand's packaging is a legal problem and a bad look. Pick criteria you can actually defend, like cost per use, freshness or time taken.
code 4
/infographic, the one people save
Turns a how-to into a single graphic with your text on it. ChatGPT Images can follow instructions to add text, so write the exact words you want in quotes instead of hoping it guesses.
📋 /infographic
/infographic a [number]-step how to [use your product] guide, with the heading "[your heading]" at the top.
Build it as one clean vertical graphic with numbered steps running down the page and a short line of no more than eight words in each step. The steps are exactly: "[step 1]", "[step 2]", "[step 3]", "[step 4]". Include my actual product from the attached photo once, small, in the corner. Simple line icons, white cards on a light neutral ground, one accent colour, crisp correctly spelled text, 4:5.
Write the steps yourself rather than asking it to invent them. You know how your product is used and this is where a made-up step would embarrass you in the comments.
code 5
/storyboard, the shot list
Turns an ad idea into panels before you film anything. You are not generating the ad, you are generating the plan, which is why it saves the most time of the five.
🎞️ /storyboard
/storyboard a 6-panel [ad type, for example a customer review video] for this [product].
Lay it out as a 2 by 3 grid of numbered panels with the same person and the same setting across all six, and a one-line caption under each panel describing the shot. The story runs: the problem, picking up the product, using it, the result, one close-up on the label, then the recommendation to camera. Keep the drawing loose and sketchy so it reads as a plan rather than a finished ad. 16:9.
Film the six panels on your phone exactly as drawn. That is the whole point of this one: you stop improvising at the shoot and start with a shot list you already agree with.

The same 5 codes, different business
Nothing above needs a physical object. Swap what the codes are pointed at.
A service Anatomy labels what is inside the package. Storyboard plans a client testimonial. Comparison puts doing it yourself next to hiring you.
A digital product Anatomy labels the modules. Infographic becomes the how it works graphic. Timeline shows what you shipped and when.
Food and drink Anatomy labels the ingredients. Infographic becomes the recipe card. Comparison goes against the shop-bought version.
A personal brand Anatomy labels what is in your offer. Storyboard plans your next reel. Infographic turns your best advice into a saveable post.
🧩 no product photo yet
/anatomy of my [service or digital product], labelling what the client actually receives.
I do not have a product photo, so build the hero as a clean flat-lay of what this includes: [list the three or four deliverables, for example a 60 minute call, a written plan, two revision rounds, a shared dashboard]. Pull short labels out to the side with thin leader lines, written exactly as I listed them. Clean editorial look on a warm neutral background, one accent colour, crisp correctly spelled text, 1:1.
good to know
4 things that decide how good these look
Type the exact words in quotes Every label you care about goes in the prompt in quotes. Short strings render cleanly, long paragraphs come out mangled.
Say "keep my product unchanged" Without it, the model redesigns your packaging. With it, your real label survives into the finished image.
Run it three times The first generation is a draft. The third is usually the one you post, and it costs you nothing but a minute.
Check the text before posting One misspelled word is the giveaway. Select it, describe the fix, keep the rest of the image.
