Prompt library → playbook gaps

Research from MeiGen AI Design MCP (1,446 curated prompts via nanobanana-trending-prompts) plus broader i2v / t2i / t2v / v2v prompt patterns — scored against our existing 91 playbooks. Goal: ship recipes we do not yet have, and do less well.

Source A: MeiGen gallery Source B: Seedance / Kling / Veo prompt guides Existing: 91 playbooks Ask: review before production

Verdict

MeiGen’s gallery is mostly single-image viral templates (nanobanana / GPT Image), not finished agent workflows. The win for Livepeer Agent is not “port 1,446 prompts” — it is extracting the ~15 recipe shapes that (a) trend hard, (b) map cleanly onto our caps + finishing chain, and (c) are missing or only weakly covered by current playbooks.

Recommend Wave 1 = 8 playbooks (high gap × high likes × agentable), then Wave 2 = 7 from MeiGen leftovers + modality complements, then Wave 3 = 15 cross-modality recipes (esp. i2v product motion, t2v multi-shot, v2v restyle). Do not chase celebrity selfie / paparazzi spam — high likes, low brand value, weak differentiation.

How we scored

Each candidate needed to clear three filters. Viral likes alone were not enough — Livepeer Agent playbooks must be agent-executable recipes with HITL gates, not prompt dumps.

Include if

  • Gap: no existing playbook, or existing one covers <50% of the recipe
  • Agentable: 4–8 stages, clear brief blanks, finishing pass possible
  • Cap fit: runs on live BYOC / tool caps we already have
  • Persona pull: brand / ecommerce / creator / educator — not one-off meme
  • Signal: MeiGen likes ≥ ~1.1k or category consensus across 2026 prompt guides

Skip / deprioritize if

  • Celebrity likeness / paparazzi / K-pop selfie templates
  • Already covered strongly (ecommerce-lookbook, luxury-product-ads, character-design, novel-recap, photo-restoration, greenscreen-free-studio…)
  • Prompt-only aesthetic with no deliverable shape (single pretty still, no aftercare)
  • Needs Midjourney-only tricks we cannot route
  • Face-heavy viral formats with high moderation / brand risk

MeiGen category mix (for context)

CategoryCountImplication for us
Photography533Many fashion/portrait stills — overlap with fusion / lookbook; cherry-pick product + editorial formats
Illustration & 3D370Strong source for maps, icons, world guides, sticker sheets
Product & Brand239Highest conversion to playbooks — 9-grid, CGI hero, sticker, AR POV
Food & Drink156Recipe infographic is a real gap vs local-food-short / restaurant-menu
Poster Design146Sports tribute, travel guide, museum dissection
UI & Graphic52Smallest bucket but #1 liked pattern (product storyboard grid)

Models in gallery: ~1148 nanobanana · ~298 gptimage. Video is under-represented in MeiGen — that is why the “Top 30” section pulls i2v/t2v/v2v from Seedance / Kling / Veo prompt ecosystems.

MeiGen → Top 15 proposed playbooks

Ranked by gap × signal × agentability, not raw likes alone. Each maps to a proposed slug, Livepeer Agent caps, and a build recommendation.

01

Product Storyboard 9-Grid

MeiGen #299 · 5,072 likes · UI & Graphic · gap: high
BUILD t2i Wave 1 slug: product-storyboard-grid

Viral #1 pattern: one product reference → a curated 3×3 brand portfolio board (hero / macro / environment / in-use / isometric / levitating / …). Closest existing: ecommerce-product / luxury-product-ads — neither ships the editorial 9-panel mockup as the deliverable.

place_subject / create_media (nano-banana / gpt-image) ×9 → ffmpeg-grid → optional i2v on 2 hero cells
Prompt DNA
Create ONE final image. A clean 3×3 storyboard grid… Use the reference image as the base product reference. Keep the same product, packaging, branding… across all nine panels… FRAME 1 hero · FRAME 2 macro · FRAME 3 environment…
02

Exploded Product Teardown Infographic

MeiGen #1 · 3,567 likes · UI & Graphic · gap: high
BUILD t2i Wave 1 slug: product-teardown-infographic

Isometric cutaway + color-coded callouts + measurements. Adjacent to knowledge-explainer / insight-reel but those are video explainers — this is the static “engineering manual / museum exhibit” poster brands actually share.

gpt-image / ideogram-v4 / sensenova-u1-infographic → optional hyperframes-render caption pass → Ken-Burns or i2v for social cut
03

Country / City Travel Guide Poster

MeiGen #302 · 3,725 likes · Illustration & 3D · gap: high
BUILD t2i Wave 1 slug: travel-guide-infographic

Raised terrain map + miniature landmarks + city checklists. Not covered by history-journey / real-estate-listing. Huge tourism / destination-marketing demand.

gpt-image / recraft-v4 for typography → optional animate (slow push-in) via pixverse-i2v
04

Sports Tribute Dual-Exposure Poster

MeiGen #301 · 4,023 likes · Poster Design · gap: high
BUILD t2i Wave 1 slug: sports-tribute-poster

Silhouette-as-vessel filled with career mosaic + selective color + micro typography. No sports-creative playbook today (live-coach is analysis, not design). Gate: user-supplied athlete refs only (no celebrity hallucination).

user refs → gpt-image-edit / kontext-edit composite → ideogram-v4 type lock → export pack (1:1 + 4:5 + 9:16)
05

Brand Sticker Sheet

MeiGen #325 · 1,204 likes · Product & Brand · gap: high
BUILD t2i Wave 1 slug: brand-sticker-sheet

Deconstruct a brand into 8–10 monoline die-cut stickers on one sheet. Missing entirely. Perfect brand-kit aftercare + merch / community giveaway path.

brand_kit_create → recraft-v4 / gpt-image sheet → optional die-cut variants via edit
06

Recipe Anatomy Infographic

MeiGen #310 · 2,254 likes · Food & Drink · gap: medium-high
BUILD t2i i2v Wave 1 slug: recipe-anatomy-infographic

Hyper-clean recipe poster (plated hero + ingredient callouts + steps). local-food-short is a spoken food reel; restaurant-menu is menu design — neither is the shareable recipe anatomy card.

gpt-image / mai-image-2.5 → optional steam/pour i2v → hyperframes-caption for exact ingredient text
07

POV AR Retail Product Clip

MeiGen #316 · 1,489 likes · Product & Brand · gap: high
BUILD t2i i2v Wave 1 slug: pov-ar-retail

First-person supermarket hands + holographic nutrition UI around a locked SKU. Extremely shareable “future retail” format; nothing like it in the catalog. Natural Livepeer Agent wedge: still → i2v with UI locked via hyperframes overlay.

SKU lock via place_subject → atmosphere still → hyperframes-render AR UI → seedance-mini-i2v / pixverse-i2v
08

Surreal Material Logo Sculpture

MeiGen #303 · 3,347 likes · Product & Brand · gap: medium-high
BUILD t2i i2v Wave 1 slug: material-logo-sculpture

Minimal surreal image where a material (cloud / chrome / fabric / liquid) forms the wordmark. Logo exploration is weak today vs full brand kits. Great moodboard seed + brand-kit opener.

logo_capture optional → gpt-image / flux-dev material variants ×4 → pick → slow morph i2v
09

3D Y2K Typography Poster

MeiGen #307 · 2,555 likes · UI & Graphic · gap: high
BUILD (Wave 2) t2i Wave 2 slug: dimensional-type-poster

Streetwear / Y2K dimensional type as CGI. Distinct from sports poster and sticker sheet. Route type-critical steps through ideogram / gpt-image; avoid flux for letterforms.

ideogram-v4 / gpt-image → optional orbit i2v
10

Themed Icon Grid (Process / Habits)

MeiGen #308 · 2,506 likes · UI & Graphic · gap: medium
BUILD (Wave 2) t2i Wave 2 slug: themed-icon-grid

Cohesive 3×3 icon set for a theme. gym-routine-grid is the workout-specific cousin — generalize to SaaS features / onboarding steps / habit systems.

recraft-v4 / gpt-image grid → optional per-icon animate in gym-routine-grid style
11

Youth Brand Collage Ad

MeiGen #324 · 1,204 likes · Poster Design · gap: medium
EXTEND existing t2i Wave 2 extend: brand-campaign-matrix

Torn-edge digital collage + color blob + cutout model + hero product. Better as a composition preset inside brand-campaign-matrix / moodboard spread than a standalone playbook.

Add “youth collage” composition to brand campaign / moodboard mix
12

Worldbuilding Map Infographic

MeiGen #329 · 1,180 likes · Illustration & 3D · gap: medium-high
BUILD (Wave 2) t2i Wave 2 slug: worldbuilding-map

Fictional world as raised terrain + lore callouts. Complements game-pitch-deck / series-bible-pilot without duplicating them — the map is the deliverable.

gpt-image / recraft-v4 → optional camera-glide i2v for trailer B-roll
13

Museum Object Dissection Poster

MeiGen #5 · 1,115 likes · Poster Design · gap: high
BUILD (Wave 2) t2i Wave 2 slug: museum-object-dissection

“Museum catalog” dissection with material / pattern / color callouts (Chinese template in gallery generalizes cleanly). Distinct from museum-installation (place-as-protagonist film).

sensenova-u1-infographic / gpt-image → bilingual label option via hyperframes
14

Book-Ink Miniature World

MeiGen #360 · 861 likes · Illustration & 3D · gap: medium
EXTEND existing t2i i2v Wave 2 extend: novel-recap

Fountain pen writes; miniature characters emerge from ink. Gorgeous hero still for BookTok — better as an optional Stage inside novel-recap than a separate playbook.

Add “ink miniature hero card” stage + i2v ink-flow to novel-recap
15

Pixel Battle / Retro Game Moment

MeiGen #300 · 4,816 likes · Illustration & 3D · gap: medium
BUILD light / niche t2i Wave 3 slug: pixel-game-moment

Huge likes, narrow persona (gamedev / nostalgia social). Partial overlap with concept-to-game-asset / game-pitch-deck. Worth a short playbook if we want viral gamedev social — not Wave 1.

gpt-image pixel style → optional sprite sheet via edit → short i2v “move use” flash

Top 30 complementary prompts (t2i · i2v · t2v · v2v)

Broader scope beyond MeiGen’s image-heavy library. Includes ecommerce / Seedance / Kling / Veo prompt consensus for motion formats we under-index on. Items marked ★ are also in the MeiGen 15 (listed once here for modality balance).

Recommended ship waves

Each new playbook follows public/playbooks/DESIGN.md: ROLE → BRIEF → CONVENTIONS → stages with STOP gates → FINAL OUTPUT → AFTERCARE. Prefer natural-language stages; pin model choice only when it changes outcomes (type → ideogram/gpt-image; AR UI → hyperframes).

Wave 1 — 8 recipes (highest gap × demand)

product-storyboard-grid · product-teardown-infographic · travel-guide-infographic · sports-tribute-poster · brand-sticker-sheet · recipe-anatomy-infographic · pov-ar-retail · product-orbit-turntable or native-multishot-commercial · kinetic-type-short
(If hard-capped at 8: drop sports-tribute or travel-guide to Wave 2; keep orbit + kinetic type — they unlock modalities MeiGen lacks.)

Wave 2 — 7 MeiGen leftovers + motion complements

material-logo-sculpture · dimensional-type-poster · themed-icon-grid · worldbuilding-map · museum-object-dissection · fabric-liquid-hero · cinemagraph-loop-kit · day-night-restyle · live-action-to-anime-restyle · atmospheric-broll-pack

Wave 3 — polish + niche

album-cover-factory · pixel-game-moment · first-last-frame transition · weather-inject · silent-product-demo · UGC handheld bridge · marketplace packshot pack (as ecommerce-product extension) · novel-recap ink-miniature stage · brand youth-collage preset

Success criteria per playbook

Must

  • Runs E2E on live caps without new BYOC registration
  • ≥1 showcase asset + viewer URL
  • Cost ceiling printed in BRIEF (image packs ≤ $1.50; video ≤ $5 default)
  • HITL STOP before any billable fan-out > $0.50
  • Finishing pass (grid / export / caption) — not raw fal URLs

Nice

  • Remix prompt for /templates if reliability ≥ 4.0 + showcase
  • CLI parity one-liner in AFTERCARE
  • Brand-kit injection where identity matters
  • Bilingual brief option for museum / travel / recipe

Decision ask

Before any production playbook writing, please pick:

  1. Approve Wave 1 set as listed, or swap any titles.
  2. Hard cap: 8 new playbooks vs 8 new + N extensions (recommended: 8 new + 3 extensions).
  3. Modality priority: stay image-led (MeiGen fidelity) or force ≥3 video recipes into Wave 1 (orbit, kinetic type, native multishot) — recommendation: force video into Wave 1.
  4. Sports tribute: include with “user refs only” gate, or defer for likeness risk?
