The templates-not-prompts point really landed for me — twenty prompts for vaguely humanoid blobs in sometimes-orange rooms is such a clear picture of why an open prompt box fails for a format this specific. I also liked that personality is a preset rather than a paragraph: a cat and a pug hosting a podcast gets the joke across instantly, without asking the user to write dialogue. And refunding a failed generation automatically is a small trust detail that probably does more for repeat use than any feature. Curious which of the next templates — the balcony DJ set or the neon dance stage — you expect to be harder to get consistent.
