Conversation starters

Starting with a blank canvas can be intimidating, but providing prompt starters can help individuals overcome this initial hurdle and jumpstart their creativity.

The image shows a user interface with various buttons labeled "conversation starters." On the right side, there's a panel labeled "GIF · Animation Studio" by witlist.design. This panel provides information about a tool or app, including a rating of 3.0, the DALL·E category, and mentions that it has been used in over 5,000 conversations. Some example conversation starters are "Spooky dance old cartoon," "Extreme gorilla drumming," "Meme funny scream," and "Robot dance performance." On the left side, there are search prompts like "Is AI gamification new?" and "AI prototyping tools?"
