## Overview

This hub brings together the steps that happen around a prompt before it is sent to a model: rewriting a rough instruction into a clearer structure, estimating token usage and cost, translating prompts for multilingual use, preparing clean grounding text, checking inputs for prompt-injection risk, and understanding the language, data, or expressions a prompt references.

## Tools

- Prompt Optimizer: Rewrite a raw prompt into a more structured version, score clarity and ambiguity, and show prompt improvement hints
- AI Token Estimator: Analyze language mix and estimate token usage across OpenAI, Codex, Claude, and DeepSeek profiles
- Prompt Translator: Translate text between multiple languages using AI
- PDF to Clean Text for LLM: Extract clean text from PDFs with OpenDataLoader for summarization, translation, embedding, and other LLM workflows
- PDF Prompt Injection Scanner: Compare safe and unsafe PDF extraction runs to detect hidden text, off-page content, tiny text, and hidden-layer prompt injection risks
- AI Language Detector: Detect the language of text fragments and return language codes using AI
- AI Data Normalizer: AI-powered data format normalization tool that intelligently cleans and standardizes messy data using advanced AI analysis
- AI Math Solver/Photomath: Solve math problems from images using AI vision models with step-by-step explanations
- AI Regex Explainer: Use AI to break down regular expressions into readable explanations

## Frequently asked questions

### What does 'LLM input preparation' mean here?

It covers the work that happens before a prompt reaches the model: structuring and clarifying the instruction, estimating token usage and cost, translating or detecting the input language, cleaning source text to ground the answer, and checking for prompt-injection risk.

### Will these tools rewrite my prompt automatically?

The Prompt Optimizer scores clarity, completeness, and ambiguity, then rewrites the instruction into Role, Task, Constraints, and Few-shot sections, with an optional AI-assisted rewrite for a stronger version.

### Which token providers are supported?

The AI Token Estimator reports OpenAI, Codex, Claude, and DeepSeek profiles, and labels each estimate as exact-offline-tokenizer, official-provider-API, or heuristic so you know how much to trust it.
