Need expert implementation?
Hire an OrchestratorConnect with a certified Prompt.Doctor Orchestrator to deploy this framework for you.
No coding required. You will use ChatGPT or Claude as your AI tool. Follow these steps in order — do not skip ahead.
Purchase & download the framework
Click the buy button on this page. After checkout, go to the and hit Download .zip. Unzip it — you'll get a .md file (the full framework) and a .pdf (easy to read reference). Keep both open.
Open your project — new or existing
This dashboard is designed to integrate into any existing project or be built as a standalone app. If you already have a site in Airo (or Cursor, Bolt, etc.), open that project. If you're starting fresh, create a new project. The Orchestrator Prompt handles both cases — it scans what's already there and adds only what's missing.
Paste the Orchestrator Prompt into your builder's chat
Open the on this page. Copy the Orchestrator Prompt and paste it into your AI builder's chat. It will scaffold the full admin system — secure login, email marketing module, booking engine, and CMS — on top of your existing codebase. This takes 2–5 minutes.
Add your API keys as secrets
Critical — Novice UsersIn your builder, go to Settings → Secrets and add the keys your app needs. For this framework: STRIPE_SECRET_KEY (for booking payments — get it from your Stripe dashboard), ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (for AI-assisted content — get it from console.anthropic.com), and DATABASE_URL (your MySQL connection string). No key is needed for the admin login, CMS, or email modules — those run on your existing infrastructure.
Don't have a MySQL server?
You can purchase a shared hosting plan with cPanel and MySQL at host.esgwon.dev. Once your account is set up, follow the step-by-step guide to create your database and connect it to your AI website builder.

Get your STRIPE_SECRET_KEY and STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY from your Stripe dashboard. The guide covers test keys, webhook setup, and going live.
Need help with Anthropic?
Get your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from console.anthropic.com. The guide covers model selection, cost management, and troubleshooting.
Prompting Airo after setup — always name the file
When asking Airo to add tables, columns, or features to the admin dashboard, always include src/server/lib/admin-db.ts in your prompt. Without it, Airo may target the wrong database. Example: "Add a bookings table in the admin database (src/server/lib/admin-db.ts) — do not touch any other database connection in this project."
Run the framework prompts inside your live app
Your app is now running in the builder's preview panel. Open the on this page, copy each prompt one at a time, and paste it into your builder's chat. Replace every [BRACKET] with your real data before sending. Work through the stages in order — each stage output feeds the next.
Test end-to-end, then publish or hand off to your client
Walk through the admin as a real user: log in, create a booking, send a test email campaign, update a CMS image, and run the Safe-to-Publish gate. Once everything passes, click Publish in your builder. Because this is a white-label dashboard, your client accesses it at /admin on their own domain — no Prompt.Doctor branding, no third-party login required.

6 promptsWrite a statement of need for a grant proposal for [ORGANIZATION NAME], a [MISSION DESCRIPTION] nonprofit. The grant is for [PROGRAM/PROJECT]. Requirements: 1) Open with a specific, human story that illustrates the problem (not statistics — a person), 2) Establish the scope: local, regional, or national data on the problem (3–4 specific statistics with sources), 3) Root causes: why this problem exists and persists, 4) Current gap: what existing services fail to address, 5) Target population: who is most affected and why they are underserved, 6) Urgency: why this problem must be addressed now. Length: 400–500 words. Tone: evidence-based, urgent, compassionate. Avoid: jargon, vague claims, and statistics without sources.
Write a year-end fundraising appeal email for [ORGANIZATION NAME]. Requirements: 1) Subject line: 3 options (story-led, impact-led, urgency-led), 2) Opening: a specific story of one person whose life changed because of donor support (2–3 sentences — specific details, not generic), 3) Bridge: connect that story to the donor's role ("You made this possible"), 4) Impact summary: 3 specific outcomes from this year with numbers, 5) The ask: specific gift amount with specific impact ("Your $50 provides X for Y"), 6) Urgency: tax deadline and matching gift if applicable, 7) CTA: "Give before December 31." Under 350 words. Tone: warm, specific, grateful — not guilt-driven.
Write a major gift solicitation script for [ORGANIZATION NAME] for a meeting with [DONOR NAME], a [DONOR BACKGROUND: long-time donor/new prospect/lapsed donor] who has capacity for a [GIFT RANGE] gift. Structure: 1) Opening: reconnect personally (reference something specific about the donor's history with the organization), 2) Vision share: paint the picture of what's possible with this gift (specific program or impact), 3) The ask: direct, specific ask with amount and purpose ("We're asking you to consider a gift of $X to fund Y"), 4) Silence: note to pause and let the donor respond, 5) Response handling: scripts for yes, maybe, and no, 6) Closing: next steps regardless of outcome. Tone: confident, personal, mission-driven — not transactional.
