Hook: Prompt systems are the unsung workflow automation layer for pop‑up teams. They power chat responses, staff sequences and AI‑aided show scripts.
Why prompts matter
Prompts reduce cognitive load, keep scripts consistent and scale small teams to handle larger crowds without quality loss.
Use cases
- Onboarding stewards with step‑by‑step checklists.
- Automated customer replies for inventory and pickup windows.
- Real‑time moderation for user generated content during live drops.
“Ship the prompt; iterate the content.”
