prompters
Backstage whispered helpers
Prompters are people or things that prompt.
In theater, a prompter sits offstage to feed forgotten lines to actors.
A teleprompter displays scrolling text for speakers to read.
More broadly, a prompter is anything that stimulates action or memory: Visual cues serve as prompters for the next step in the process.
