"Pies from $9. Come for the game."
That line sat under a draft Friday-night football meme for Thistlewick Slice (a made-up pizzeria). Their large pepperoni is $18. The cheapest large on the board is $16. Nothing on the menu is $9.
A joke that lies about price is still a price.
AI Prompts, Reviewed takes one prompt or workflow from How I AI, Claire Vo's show where guests share their screens and walk through how they really use AI. We run it on a small-business job, score it, and tell you what we'd change.
Credit: Based on "Automate Meme Marketing with an AI Agent and OpenClaw," a workflow from How I AI (hosted by Claire Vo, written up by the ChatPRD team), shown by Jason Levin of Memelord in the episode "How I AI: Jason Levin's Workflows for Agentic Memes, Vibe Coding, and Hardware Hacking." Original workflow. Full episode. Guest site: none listed on the How I AI workflow page.

What the original does
Jason wires an OpenClaw agent to the Memelord API, loads brand voice and prohibited topics, asks for meme concepts on a current topic, then reviews captions and templates before anything public. Four steps: API key in the agent environment (not in prompts), load brand context, request concepts with audience insight and intended reaction, revise and send drafts to a review channel only.
The test
Made-up data for Thistlewick Slice (a made-up pizzeria) in Round Rock: owner Dana, 2 ovens, 6 staff. Clock: Friday, Oct 16, 2026. Topic: the local high school's Friday night playoff (made-up). Menu facts we gave the agent later: large cheese $16, large pepperoni $18, Friday family deal 2 larges for $32, delivery $4.50. Planned boost: $40/day for 5 days = $200.
Naive run (topic + "be funny," no prohibited claims, no review destination):
- "Pies from $9." Implied discount off $18 pepperoni: $18 - $9 = $9 off per pie. On a 2-pie family deal that is $18 imaginary savings. False.
- Competitor dunk. Names Crumb Barrel Pizza (also made up) as slower. No evidence. Brand risk.
- Stale template. Uses a format the shop already posted 3 weeks ago. Runbook already flags stale repeats.
- Free delivery forever. Delivery is $4.50. At 40 delivery orders a week that is 40 x $4.50 = $180/week of promised cost, not a joke.
- One usable draft. Game-night family deal, no false price, no rival named.
Ship the $9 line into a $40/day boost for 5 days and you spend $200 training locals to wait for a price you do not offer. The page's own gate: "Nothing posts without the configured review decision."
The rerun
Same topic, with brand voice, audience (parents within 8 miles), prohibited claims (no prices below menu, no competitor names, no free-forever delivery, no health claims), last 4 posted templates to reject, and destination = private review channel only.
Result: 5 concepts in, 3 cut ($9 price, rival dunk, stale template), 2 kept for review. That is 3 + 2 = 5. Kept drafts cite the $32 Friday deal and the $4.50 delivery fee as written. Nothing goes to Instagram until Dana taps yes.
Verdict: 8/10
Strengths: trending templates, brand rules, and a hard review queue before publish. The runbook already names random jokes, off-brand captions, and stale formats. Useful when a playoff week and a $200 boost collide.
Weakness: Memelord plus OpenClaw is more stack than a 6-person shop needs for five drafts. Without prohibited claims, "be funny" invents prices. You still need a human who knows the menu.
Founder tweak: paste the live menu prices and a banned-claims list before you ask for concepts, and never connect the agent to a live posting account.
Copy the MCAFax version
This is our own rewrite, not the original prompt. Copy the original from Jason Levin on How I AI: https://www.chatprd.ai/how-i-ai/workflows/automate-meme-marketing-with-an-ai-agent-and-openclaw
You are my meme concept editor for [business name], a local shop.
You draft concepts for REVIEW ONLY. Never post, schedule, or boost.
Inputs I will paste:
(A) current topic or event
(B) live menu prices and deals (exact $)
(C) brand voice in 5 lines
(D) prohibited claims list
(E) last 4 templates or captions we already used
Produce exactly 5 concepts. For each:
1. Template name or style (current only; reject anything in E)
2. Caption (max 18 words)
3. Audience insight in one line
4. Intended reaction (laugh / nod / share)
5. Risk flags: PRICE | COMPETITOR | PROMISE | STALE | NONE
Rules:
- Every $ in a caption must match (B) exactly. If unsure, write [NO PRICE].
- No competitor names. No "from $X" unless X is on the menu.
- No free-forever, no guarantees, no health claims.
- Mark CUT if any risk flag is PRICE, COMPETITOR, PROMISE, or STALE.
End with: REVIEW QUEUE ONLY - human must approve before any public channel.
Topic: [paste]
Paste into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Add Memelord or OpenClaw later if you want trending templates; the rules still apply.
Before you boost a meme
- Paste tonight's real menu prices and deals into the prompt.
- Ban competitor names, fake "from $X" lines, and free-forever promises.
- Send drafts to a private channel. Do not connect the agent to Instagram.
- Reject any template you already used in the last month.
- Keep a plain content system for non-meme posts: https://mcafax.com/notebook/prompts/social-media-content-assistant
