These prompts are starting points, not magic phrases. Replace the bracketed parts with your own details, remove anything that does not apply, and check the answer before you use it.
1. Draft a clear email
Prompt:
Help me write a [friendly / formal] email to [recipient] about [purpose]. Include these points: [list the facts]. Keep it under [word count] words. Suggest a subject line. Do not invent details that I have not provided.
Example: A shop owner could replace the purpose with “confirming that an order will be ready on Friday” and list the order number and collection time.
2. Turn meeting notes into action items
Prompt:
Organize these meeting notes into three sections: Summary, Decisions, and Action Items. For each action, include the task, owner, and deadline only when they appear in my notes. Mark missing information as “not specified.” Notes: [paste notes].
This helps keep the result tied to the notes instead of filling gaps with guesses. Remove private information before pasting workplace notes into any AI service.
3. Learn a school or study topic
Prompt:
Act as a patient tutor. Explain [topic] for a learner at [grade or level]. Use simple language, one everyday example, and short steps. Then give me five practice questions without showing the answers until I ask.
Example: “Explain fractions for a Grade 6 learner. Use a pizza example and show one worked question.”
4. Make a realistic weekly meal plan
Prompt:
Suggest a simple [number]-day meal plan for [number] people. Use these ingredients often: [ingredients]. My approximate budget is [amount and currency]. Meals should take no more than [minutes] to prepare. Avoid these foods: [foods]. Ask me first if you need to know about allergies or dietary restrictions.
Review the suggestions for allergies, nutrition needs, and local food availability before following the plan.
5. Brainstorm useful content ideas
Prompt:
Give me 15 original content ideas about [subject] for [audience] on [platform]. Put them in a table with a short title, the question each idea answers, and one possible opening line. Avoid repeating the same angle. Do not claim that these ideas are trending unless you can verify that with current data.
6. Write a product description from supplied facts
Prompt:
Write a clear product description for [product] using only these details: [features, size, materials, price, and other confirmed facts]. The audience is [audience]. Use a [tone] tone and keep it under [word count] words. Do not add guarantees, benefits, or specifications that are not in my notes.
7. Plan a trip itinerary
Prompt:
Draft a [number]-day itinerary for [destination] for [dates or season]. My budget is [amount], I prefer [interests and pace], and I need to consider [mobility or other needs]. Separate confirmed details from suggestions, and flag opening hours or transport information that should be checked before booking.
Opening times, transport, prices, and local rules can change, so verify them with current sources before you travel.
8. Make a paragraph easier to understand
Prompt:
Rewrite the text below in plain English for [audience or reading level]. Keep the original meaning, names, figures, and important details. Do not add new claims. After the rewrite, list any sentence whose meaning is unclear. Text: [paste your text].
9. Plan a busy week
Prompt:
Help me organize these tasks for the next [number] days: [tasks and deadlines]. I have about [hours] available each day. Put urgent, important tasks first, leave realistic breaks, and show anything that may not fit. Do not invent deadlines.
10. Understand an error message
Prompt:
Explain this error message in simple language. Give the most likely causes, safe checks I can try, and what information a support person may need. Do not ask me to share passwords, verification codes, payment details, or private keys. Error: [paste the message and describe what you were doing].
A quick example: turn “Help me study” into “Create a 30-minute study session for [subject]. I have a test on [date] and find [topic] difficult. Use three short study blocks with breaks. End with five questions, but keep the answers separate.”
The best prompt is the one that gives the tool the details that matter for your task. Start small, read the answer, and make one specific follow-up when you need a change.
