How to Use AI at Work

Draft a professional email for the following situation:

To: {{recipient_role}} at {{company_or_context}}
Purpose: {{email_purpose}}
Tone: {{tone}}
Key points to include:
{{key_points}}

Constraints:
- Keep it under 200 words
- Lead with the most important point
- Include a clear call to action in the last paragraph
- Use bullet points if there are more than 2 action items
- Do not use filler phrases like "I hope this email finds you well"

Provide the subject line and email body.

Prepare a one-page meeting brief.

Meeting: {{meeting_topic}}
Attendees: {{attendees}}
My role: {{my_role}}
Agenda: {{agenda}}
Background context: {{context}}

Generate:
1. **Key talking points** (3-5 bullets I should raise)
2. **Potential questions** others may ask me, with suggested responses
3. **Decision points** — what needs to be decided in this meeting
4. **Risks to flag** — anything that could derail the meeting or the project
5. **Desired outcome** — what success looks like when this meeting ends

Keep the entire brief scannable in under 2 minutes.

Generate a weekly status report from my notes.

Project: {{project_name}}
Reporting period: {{date_range}}
My notes:
{{raw_notes}}

Format the report as:

## Status: {{status_color}} (Green / Yellow / Red)

### Completed This Week
- (bullet list of completed items, written as accomplishments)

### In Progress
- (bullet list with % completion estimates)

### Blocked / Needs Attention
- (bullet list with what is blocking and what is needed to unblock)

### Next Week
- (bullet list of planned priorities)

### Key Metrics
| Metric | This Week | Last Week | Trend |

Transform my rough notes into polished, manager-ready language. Be specific and quantify results where possible.

I need to make a decision at work. Help me think through it systematically.

Decision: {{decision}}
Stakeholders: {{stakeholders}}
Timeline: {{deadline}}
Constraints: {{constraints}}

Analyze using this framework:
1. **Options**: List all viable options (including "do nothing")
2. **Criteria**: What factors matter most? (cost, speed, risk, team impact, reversibility)
3. **Scorecard**: Rate each option against each criterion (1-5) in a markdown table
4. **Second-order effects**: For the top 2 options, what happens 3 months and 12 months after this decision?
5. **Reversibility**: How easy is each option to undo if it turns out to be wrong?
6. **Recommendation**: Based on the analysis, which option do you recommend and why?

Be honest about trade-offs. Do not present any option as perfect.

I have the following tasks on my plate this week. Help me prioritize them.

Tasks:
{{task_list}}

My available hours this week: {{available_hours}}
Key deadline: {{key_deadline}}

For each task, assess:
- **Impact**: How much does completing this move the needle? (High / Medium / Low)
- **Urgency**: When does this actually need to be done? (Today / This week / Can wait)
- **Effort**: How long will this realistically take? (hours)
- **Dependencies**: Does anything else depend on this being done?

Then provide:
1. A prioritized daily plan for the week (Mon-Fri)
2. Tasks to delegate or defer with reasoning
3. Tasks to say no to or push back on, with a suggested response to the requester

Be ruthless — if the hours do not add up, something has to go.

I just finished {{task_or_project}} and want to capture what I learned before I forget.

Here are my raw notes and thoughts:
{{raw_notes}}

Transform these into a structured knowledge document:

## Summary
(What was done and what was the outcome in 2-3 sentences)

## What Worked
(Bullet list of approaches, tools, or decisions that went well)

## What Did Not Work
(Bullet list of things that failed or were harder than expected, and why)

## Key Learnings
(3-5 transferable insights that would help someone doing this task in the future)

## Reusable Assets
(Any templates, scripts, checklists, or prompts created during this work that should be saved)

## If I Did This Again
(What would I do differently from the start, knowing what I know now?)

Write it so a teammate who was not involved could benefit from this in 6 months.
