Business & Sales

Cold outreach email

Write a short cold outreach email to [recipient's role, e.g. "a marketing director at a mid-size retail company"] introducing [your product/service] and its main benefit: [benefit]. Keep it under 120 words, no generic flattery, and end with a low-commitment call to action (like a quick question, not a meeting ask).

Tip: Paste in 2-3 real facts about the recipient's company for a noticeably better result than a fully generic version.

Business & Sales

Handling a pricing objection

A prospective client said: "[paste their objection]" in response to our pricing for [product/service]. Write a short, non-defensive reply that acknowledges the concern, reframes value without being pushy, and ends with one clear next step.

Business & Sales

One-page business plan outline

Draft a one-page business plan outline for [business idea in one sentence]. Include: problem, target customer, solution, revenue model, biggest risk, and first 90-day milestone. Keep each section to 2-3 sentences.

Business & Sales

Customer win-back email

Marketing & Content

Landing page headline options

Marketing & Content

Email subject line testing set

Write 6 email subject lines for a campaign about [topic/offer]. Include a mix: 2 direct/clear, 2 curiosity-driven, 2 urgency-driven — no clickbait that the email itself wouldn't deliver on.

Marketing & Content

Product description

Writing & Editing

Get direct feedback, not a rewrite

Writing & Editing

Explain, don't just summarize

Writing & Editing

Tighten a draft without losing meaning

Tighten this text by roughly 30% without cutting any of the substantive points. Cut filler and redundancy, not ideas: [paste text]

Writing & Editing

Match a specific tone

Writing & Editing

Difficult email draft

Explain unfamiliar code

Explain what this code does, step by step, and flag anything that looks like a potential bug or edge case it doesn't handle: [paste code]

Coding

Code review before committing

Review this code as if you were a careful senior engineer doing a pull request review. Check for: correctness, edge cases, naming clarity, and anything that would confuse someone reading it in 6 months. Be specific, not generic: [paste code]

Coding

Write unit tests

Write unit tests for this function, covering the normal case, at least 2 edge cases, and one invalid-input case. Use [testing framework]: [paste function]

Coding

Convert code between languages

Convert this [source language] code to idiomatic [target language] — not a literal line-by-line translation, but code a [target language] developer would actually write: [paste code]

Image Generation

Product mockup prompt

A realistic product photo of [product] on [surface/setting], soft natural lighting, shallow depth of field, minimal background clutter, high resolution, commercial product photography style.

Image Generation

Brand-consistent illustration

A flat vector illustration of [subject], using a [color palette, e.g. "warm orange and navy"] color scheme, clean simple shapes, no gradients, in the style of modern tech-brand illustration.

Image Generation

A wide banner image for [platform, e.g. "a LinkedIn header"] representing [theme/industry], professional and modern, plenty of negative space on the [left/right] side for text overlay, no text in the image itself.

Concept art starting point

Concept art of [subject/scene], [mood, e.g. "moody and atmospheric"], [art style, e.g. "digital painting, cinematic lighting"], wide shot, highly detailed environment.

Image Generation

Iterating on a generated image

Keep the composition and subject the same, but change [one specific element, e.g. "the background color to deep blue"] and make [another specific adjustment]. Don't change anything else about the image.

Tip: Changing one specific thing per request gets more predictable results than a broad 'make it better' follow-up.

Productivity

Learn a new topic efficiently

I want to learn [topic] well enough to [specific goal, e.g. "have an informed conversation about it at work"]. Give me a study plan: the 5 core concepts to understand first, in order, and one good way to test whether I actually understand each one.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use the [bracketed] placeholders?

Copy the template, then replace each [bracketed] section with your own specific details before sending it to an AI tool — the more specific you are in the brackets, the more useful the result, since vague placeholders tend to produce generic output.

Will these prompts work the same in every AI tool?

The core structure works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and similar tools, though exact output style varies by model. None of these rely on features specific to one provider.

Why do some prompts specify tone or format so precisely?

Being explicit about tone, length, and format is one of the most reliable ways to get a usable first draft instead of one that needs heavy editing — a vague prompt tends to produce a generic-sounding result even from a capable model.
