AI TIP01
Context before commands
Tell AI who the work is for, what you are trying to achieve, and what a strong result should include before giving the instruction.

PRODUCTIVITY02
Turn notes into next steps
Paste non-sensitive meeting notes and ask AI to separate decisions, open questions, owners, and deadlines. Review every item before sharing.
Productivity IdeaPROMPT THIS03
Learn by comparison
Try: ‘Explain [TOPIC] to a beginner, then compare it with [RELATED TOPIC] using one everyday example and a simple table.’
PromptRESPONSIBLE AI04
Remove sensitive information
Before using an AI tool, remove private client data, passwords, financial identifiers, health information, and anything your policy does not approve.
Responsible AI ReminderAI 10105
AI predicts; people decide
Generative AI produces likely responses from learned patterns. It does not automatically know whether a statement is true, current, or right for your situation.
Beginner AI LessonQUICK WIN06
Ask for the questions first
Instead of requesting an immediate answer, ask AI: ‘What five questions should I answer so you can help me do this well?’
Prompting TechniqueBUSINESS AI07
Map before you automate
Write down the real steps, exceptions, handoffs, and approvals in a process before choosing technology. A broken process becomes a faster broken process when automated.

Give the model a job to do—not a costume to wear.
Instead of only saying ‘Act like an expert,’ explain the task, audience, available evidence, constraints, and what a useful answer must help you decide.

Write a Better Prompt
What it is
A useful prompt gives AI a clear task plus the context needed to perform it.
Why it matters
Vague inputs often create generic outputs and unnecessary revision.
How to do it
- State the goal.
- Name the audience.
- Provide relevant context or source material.
- Add constraints and the desired format.
- Ask the model to identify missing information.
Try it yourself
Rewrite one prompt using: Goal + Context + Constraints + Format + Quality check.

BusinessPROMPT / 01
Find the real bottleneck
Clarify an operational problem before choosing a solution.
Help me analyze a bottleneck in [YOUR BUSINESS]. First ask about the current process, people involved, volume, delays, exceptions, tools, and desired outcome. Then summarize the likely constraint and what evidence would confirm it.
ProductivityPROMPT / 02
Build a focused work plan
Turn a crowded list into a realistic sequence.
Organize these tasks into a focused plan. Identify urgency, importance, dependencies, estimated effort, and what can be deferred. Ask questions where information is missing. Tasks: [PASTE TASKS].
MarketingPROMPT / 03
Clarify the audience
Develop a sharper picture of who a message serves.
Help me clarify the audience for [YOUR OFFER]. Ask about their situation, goal, current alternatives, objections, language, and buying context. Then create a draft audience profile and label every assumption.
LearningPROMPT / 04
Build a learning path
Learn a new topic without becoming overwhelmed.
Create a beginner learning path for [TOPIC]. Start with the essential concepts, then practice, common mistakes, and a small project. Explain why each stage comes next and include a way to check my understanding.
ResearchPROMPT / 05
Create a research brief
Frame a question before collecting information.
Help me create a research brief for [QUESTION]. Define the scope, key terms, subquestions, evidence needed, credible source types, comparison criteria, and what would remain uncertain.
ContentPROMPT / 06
Turn one idea into a series
Develop multiple useful angles without repeating yourself.
Turn this core idea into a five-part content series for [YOUR AUDIENCE]. Give each part a distinct question, practical takeaway, format, and call to action. Core idea: [YOUR IDEA].
OrganizationPROMPT / 07
Create an SOP outline
Document a repeatable process for human review.
Help me draft an SOP outline for [PROCESS]. Ask about the trigger, owner, inputs, steps, exceptions, approvals, quality checks, output, and handoff before writing the outline.
BrainstormingPROMPT / 08
Generate useful options
Move beyond the first obvious ideas.
Brainstorm approaches to [YOUR PROBLEM]. Give me three conventional options, three low-cost options, three partnership options, and three ideas that use existing resources differently. Explain the tradeoff of each.
CareerPROMPT / 09
Map transferable skills
Connect current experience to a changing role.
Help me map my transferable skills toward [TARGET ROLE]. Ask about my responsibilities, results, tools, decisions, collaboration, and problems solved. Then identify strengths, gaps, and evidence I should gather.
EntrepreneurshipPROMPT / 10
Test the problem
Examine whether a business idea addresses a real need.
Challenge my business idea before helping me improve it. Ask who experiences the problem, how often, what they do now, what the problem costs, who pays, and what evidence I have. Idea: [YOUR IDEA].
Everyday LifePROMPT / 11
Compare a decision
Structure a personal choice without outsourcing it.
Help me compare [OPTION A] and [OPTION B]. Ask for my priorities, constraints, timeline, risks, and deal-breakers. Build a comparison table, show missing information, and do not make the final decision for me.
