## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
This is a photo of [WHAT IT IS, e.g. the cables behind my TV and sound bar]. Create an image that explains it. Keep my photo as the base and add clean labels with thin arrows pointing to each part, each with a one-line note on what it does and what it connects to. Add a small numbered legend at the side that walks through how the whole setup works, step by step. Here's what I already know: [WHAT YOU KNOW, e.g. the gray box came from my internet company]. If you can't tell what a part is, label it with a question mark instead of guessing. Use large, easy-to-read text.
```

## Step by step

1. Photograph the device or setup in good light.
2. Upload it and tell the AI anything you already know about it.
3. Ask follow-up questions about any part that's still unclear.

## What you'll get

Your own photo with labeled parts, arrows and a short step-by-step legend of how it works.
