30 QR code prompts that make an AI assistant do the work

The sentences people actually type once a QR connector is on: make, change, read the numbers, bulk, housekeeping. Copy, swap in your words, keep the four parts.

A good QR code prompt names four things: what the code opens, what to call it, how it looks, and whether it must change later. With the QRFLOW connector on, one such sentence makes a working code in your account in about ten seconds.

The 30 prompts below are the ones people actually type, grouped by job, with the plan each one needs. Copy them, swap in your own words, and keep the four parts.

What makes a QR code prompt work?#

Destination, name, look, changeable: the four parts every prompt needs.

A QR code prompt works when the assistant does not have to guess: the destination is stated (or you say you will paste the link), the code has a name it can find later, the look is described in plain words, and you say whether it should be dynamic.

  • Destination: "our menu page (here is the link)" beats "our website".
  • Name: "call it Fall menu" so "point the Fall menu code at…" works next month.
  • Look: "caption Scan for menu", "navy on white", "with a frame".
  • Changeable: "dynamic" or "one I can re-point later" (Premium); leave it out for a one-off static code.

30 QR code prompts for an AI assistant, by job#

Bulk prompts make one code per table, SKU or line of a list.

The connector is free; a code you can change after printing, analytics and your own domain need Premium ($4 a month). Bulk and several domains are Business.

Make a code#

  1. "Make a QR code for our menu page (here is the link), call it Fall menu, with the caption Scan for menu."
  2. "Make a QR code for our booking page (here is the link), call it Front door, navy on white."
  3. "Make a Wi-Fi QR code for the network CafeGuest, password latte-2026."
  4. "Make a Google review QR code for our place ID (here it is) and call it Receipt footer."
  5. "Make an Instagram QR code for our account, @yourcafe."
  6. "Make a WhatsApp QR code for our number with the message Hi, I'd like to book."
  7. "Make a contact card QR code with our shop name, front-desk phone and email."
  8. "Make a QR code that opens our PDF menu (here is the link), call it PDF menu."
  9. "Make an App Store QR code for our app (here is the link)."
  10. "Make a QR code for our event page (here is the link), name its link event on my domain."

Change a code#

  1. "Point the Fall menu code at our winter menu page (here is the link)."
  2. "Rename the Front door code to Lobby poster."
  3. "Name the Business card code's link hi on my domain."
  4. "Give the Spring sale code an end date of May 31."
  5. "Pause every code with Summer in the name."
  6. "Resume the Summer patio code."
  7. "Change the Fall menu code's caption to Order here."
  8. "Make the Fall menu code print with our second domain."

Read the numbers#

  1. "How many scans did the Fall menu code get this month, by country?"
  2. "Which of my codes has the most scans? Break it down by device."
  3. "Compare scans for Flyer north and Flyer south this month, by day."
  4. "Which codes have had zero scans in the last 30 days?"
  5. "Show me the PNG of the Front door code."

Many at once#

  1. "Make 20 codes, one per table, to our order page with ?table=1 through 20 on the end."
  2. "Make a code for each URL in this list, named after the line."
  3. "Make 30 codes, one per SKU in this list, each going to that product's page."

Housekeeping#

  1. "List my QR codes with their printed links."
  2. "What plan am I on and what are my limits?"
  3. "Which link domains do I have, and which is the default?"
  4. "Delete the Reviewer test code." (The assistant asks first; if a print exists, ask it to pause instead.)

Which prompts work in Cursor and Claude Code?#

Analytics prompts come back as a table you can paste into a report.

The same prompts work in Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, Windsurf and the Codex and Gemini CLIs, with one addition: say where the file should go.

  • "Make a QR code for the preview URL (here it is), call it Staging, and save the SVG to public/qr-staging.svg."
  • "Make a QR code for each route in this list and put the PNGs in assets/qr/, named after the route."
  • "Read this month's scans for the Launch code and write them to scans.csv."

A coding assistant can write the file and commit it; a chat assistant shows the image and the download link. The Cursor page and the Claude Code page have the one-command setup.

How do you connect the assistant first?#

In Cursor or Claude Code, add where the file should go.

You connect the assistant once by adding the QRFLOW address where it keeps connectors, then signing in on the QRFLOW page and pressing Allow. The address is the same everywhere:

https://qrflow.codes/mcp

Claude has QRFLOW in its directory (press Connect). ChatGPT takes it under Developer mode, then Plugins. Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI take it in a config file or one command. The assistants page has the clicks for each, with drawings of the screens.

Why do some prompts get "that needs Premium"?#

Some prompts get "that needs Premium" because the assistant checked your plan and told you the truth. A code that can change after printing, analytics, a link name and your own domain are Premium ($4 a month); bulk over 500 codes a month is Business.

The assistant never guesses. On the Free plan it makes static codes, which is what the site does too; ask for a static code and it works. The pricing page has the plan table. The Can ChatGPT make a QR code? post shows what an assistant does with no connector at all.

Questions people ask#

Do I have to say "dynamic"?#

No, on Premium and Business a url, phone, email, SMS or location code is dynamic by default. Wi-Fi, contact card and text codes are always static. Say "static" if you want a url code frozen on purpose.

Yes. "Make a QR code for our menu page, call it Fall menu" followed by the link on the next line works; assistants read the whole message.

Does the prompt need the exact kind name?#

No. "A code for our Instagram" or "a review code for Google" is enough; the assistant maps it to the kind. The full list is in the help center.

What if I ask for something impossible?#

The assistant says so. A javascript: link is refused, a Wi-Fi code cannot be re-pointed, and a logo is added in the dashboard. The Claude page lists what the connector cannot do.

Can I use these in Cursor or Claude Code?#

Yes, and add the file part: "make a QR code for the preview URL and save the PNG to public/qr.png". Coding assistants can write the file too.
