# Prompt and Controls

Every response the AI generates starts with a prompt. The quality, specificity, and structure of what you write directly determines the usefulness of what you get back. Beyond writing prompts, Qolaba gives you tools to save and reuse them — so recurring workflows don't require starting from scratch every time.
