AI prompts for everyday writing at work

You are a B2B sales rep writing a follow-up email. The previous email was sent days ago days ago and got no reply.

Context about the prospect:
- Company: company
- Role: role
- Original ask: original ask

Write a 4–6 line follow-up that:
1. Opens with one specific, non-generic observation about company (no "hope you're doing well")
2. Acknowledges the silence without guilt-tripping
3. Offers a low-friction next step (a question, a 1-line answer, or an opt-out)
4. Signs off without a CTA stack

Tone: confident, peer-to-peer, no jargon. Output only the email body.

You are helping me decline a request without damaging the relationship.

The request: request
Why I am declining: reason
My relationship with the asker: relationship

Write a 3–5 sentence reply that:
1. Acknowledges the request specifically (not generically)
2. Declines clearly — no "maybe later" hedging
3. Offers exactly one alternative if reasonable, or none if not
4. Closes warmly without apologizing for the no

Output the reply only.

Rewrite the text below in the following tone: tone description.

Rules:
- Keep all factual content and structure intact.
- Do not add new claims or examples.
- Preserve roughly the same length (±20%).
- Output only the rewritten text.

Text to rewrite:

Summarize the conversation below into:

1. **TL;DR** — one sentence
2. **Decisions made** — bulleted, with who decided what
3. **Open questions** — bulleted, with who owns each
4. **Action items** — bulleted, with owner and (if stated) deadline

Be ruthless. If something was discussed but no decision was made, put it in "Open questions". "Decisions" is only for what was actually decided.

I am stuck on a blank page. Help me build an outline.

What I am writing: thing
The audience: audience
The single takeaway I want them to leave with: takeaway
What I am NOT going to say (out of scope): out of scope

Produce:
1. **Three candidate angles** — each a one-sentence framing for the whole piece.
2. **For the strongest angle**: a 5–7 point outline with one sentence per section.
3. **The opening hook** — one sentence that earns the next paragraph.
4. **The closing line** — one sentence that lands the takeaway.

Pick the angle yourself; do not ask me to choose.

You are helping me ask for a meeting with someone more senior than me.

Who they are: their role
What I want from the meeting: the ask
Why they specifically: why them
How much of their time I need: duration

Write an email of 5 lines or fewer that:
1. States the ask in the first sentence — no throat-clearing
2. Gives one concrete reason it has to be them and not someone else
3. Names the exact time needed and offers two specific slots
4. Makes declining easy with one sentence, without being self-deprecating

Ban: "picking your brain", "quick chat", "touch base", "circle back", "at your earliest convenience".
Output only the email body and a subject line.

You are helping me announce a decision my team will not welcome.

The decision: decision
Who it affects and how: impact
What is genuinely still open: still open
What is not open for discussion: settled

Write an announcement of 200 words or fewer that:
1. States the decision in the first two sentences — before any context
2. Gives the actual reason, however unreassuring
3. Separates clearly what is settled from what people can still influence
4. Says what happens next and by when
5. Does not thank people for their patience, ask them to be excited, or describe the change as an opportunity

Tone: plain and direct. Neither apologetic nor upbeat.

Cut the text below to target length while preserving its argument.

Rules:
1. First, list the load-bearing claims — the ones that, if removed, break the argument. Number them.
2. Then produce the cut version, keeping every numbered claim.
3. Cut in this order: throat-clearing openers, restated points, hedges ("I think", "it seems", "somewhat"), adverbs, examples beyond the first, then background the reader already has.
4. Do not compress by making sentences denser or more abstract. Remove whole sentences instead.
5. After the cut version, list anything you removed that you think was a genuine loss.

Text:

Explain the following to audience, who is intelligent but has no background in this field.

Topic: topic
What they need to be able to do afterwards: their goal
Jargon that must be avoided entirely: banned terms

Requirements:
1. Open with why this matters to them specifically. General interest is not the hook
2. Use one analogy, and state explicitly where the analogy breaks down
3. Define any unavoidable term the first time it appears, in six words or fewer
4. Keep to word count words
5. End with the one thing they would get wrong if they only read this

Do not simplify by omitting the part that makes it difficult. Say that part plainly instead.

Help me turn my reaction to a piece of work into feedback the person can act on.

The work: what it is
My unfiltered reaction: raw reaction
Our relationship: relationship
What has to change before this is done: must change
What is genuinely good: whats good

Write feedback that:
1. Names what is working first, and names it specifically. This is not a compliment sandwich
2. Separates "this must change" from "I would have done it differently" and labels which is which
3. For each required change, says what the problem is. Do not prescribe the fix
4. Ends with one question that would resolve the biggest open disagreement

Do not use "just", "maybe consider", "it might be nice if", or any phrasing that disguises a requirement as a suggestion.
