Which AI do you need? This prompt is built and tested for Claude; you'll need a free account at claude.ai (no credit card required). It will also work in ChatGPT and Google Gemini with similar results. Avoid Perplexity for this; it's a research tool, not a code builder. Whichever you use, skip the "Try without signing up" option; the output is too long and will get cut off before it finishes.
Heads up on results. Results may vary on a free account. In testing, the free tier sometimes produced output that looked incomplete or unprofessional. For the best results, a paid Claude account (Claude Pro, $20/month) is worth it. You only need to run this prompt once, so even a single month gets you a polished guidebook and plenty left over. Want to see what a finished guidebook looks like? guide.basekc.com was built with this exact prompt.

I'm Steve. I run BaseKC, a short-term rental duplex in Independence. I built this tool because the guest guidebook options out there are either overpriced, generic, or require you to be a developer to customize.
This prompt packages everything I learned building my own guidebook into something any host can use in an afternoon. It's free, it's yours to keep, and it actually sounds like a person wrote it.
If you found it useful, come hang out on DadTechPOV; that's where I document this stuff as I build it.
