Run prompts in the Playground

Prompt Dock has a built-in Playground: pick a prompt, fill in its variables, and run it against a real model without leaving the site or wiring up your own API key.

In this guide

The Playground runs prompts against real AI models, and it is available on every plan, free included. Usage is metered by tokens rather than gated behind a subscription.

Running a prompt

  1. Open the Playground and pick a prompt, or arrive via Run in Playground from any prompt you can read.
  2. Fill in the prompt's {{variables}}. Run prompt stays blocked until every declared variable has a value.
  3. Pick a model from the Run with picker. Most of the catalogue is open to every plan; the highest-priced models are reserved for Master.
  4. Hit Run prompt. The button shows what the run will cost in tokens before you commit to it.

Reading the output

Results land in three tabs: Text, Image and Video. Text renders as formatted markdown with a Copy Output button; generated images render inline with a download. Video is still marked Soon.

When the selected model reads image input, you can attach your own images to the run, up to 5 of them. The Reuse images with the media library guide covers that side in full.

Tokens: how usage is metered

A run costs 5 tokens for text output and 25 for image output. Each attached input image adds 2 on top.

  • Every plan gets 50 tokens a day, resetting at midnight UTC.
  • Paid plans add a monthly pool: Explorer 1000, Premium Creator 1500, Master 2000, refreshed each billing cycle.
  • The daily allowance is always spent first. Only what you use beyond it draws on the monthly pool.
  • The token meter sits on the Playground page and in the sidebar profile menu, so you always know what is left.
