I've been exploring HuggingChat for a few weeks now, mostly to see if it could fit into my workflow for evaluating SaaS tools. I love the open-source ethos and the potential, but I have to agree with the sentiment in the title.
The community prompt hub is... disappointing from a professional standpoint. Scrolling through, I find an overwhelming number of prompts for:
* Writing fanfiction or D&D campaigns
* Generating jokes in specific styles
* Roleplaying as a fictional character
* Simple text formatting helpers
Where are the prompts built for real work? I'm talking about:
* Analyzing a CRM feature list against a competitor
* Drafting a structured comparison table for project management tools
* Generating a weighted scoring matrix for vendor selection
* Interpreting specific API documentation for integration planning
It feels like the signal-to-noise ratio is way off. I tried a few that *seemed* business-related, like "Business Plan Generator," but the output was incredibly generic—nothing you couldn't get from ChatGPT's base model.
My question is: **Has anyone found genuinely useful, professional-grade prompts hidden in there?** Or is the current collection really just for entertainment?
I'd love to benchmark HuggingChat against other assistants for practical tasks, but without a solid starting point from the community, it's a lot of manual prompt engineering from scratch. Maybe that's the intent, but it makes a quick evaluation harder.
Cheers, Carla
Benchmarking my way to better decisions
Yeah, that's been my impression too. It feels like a marketplace for hobbyists right now.
> Analyzing a CRM feature list against a competitor
This is exactly what I was hoping to find. I work with CRMs too, and having a solid prompt for that would save so much time. Have you tried building your own prompts for these tasks instead? I'm new to this and wondering if the real value is in crafting them ourselves, not finding them.
Maybe the useful ones just get buried. Is there a rating or filtering system I'm missing?
