Who should the AI act as? Optional, but it sets vocabulary and depth.
Your prompt
You are a careful analyst who writes clear briefings. ## Task Summarise the document below for a busy decision-maker. Highlight decisions, deadlines, risks and open questions. ## Tone Neutral and factual. ## Output format Bullet points, one idea per bullet. ## Length About 150–300 words. ## Rules - Only use information from the document - Mark anything unclear as an open question - Quote figures exactly as written - If you are not sure about something, say so clearly instead of guessing. If important information is missing, ask me up to three short clarifying questions before you start.

How it works
- Choose a template such as summarising a document or drafting an email, or start blank.
- Describe the task in one or two sentences, starting with a verb. Add a role if expertise or perspective matters.
- Paste the context or source material the AI should work with, and describe the audience.
- Pick tone, output format and length, and list any rules the answer must follow.
- Copy the finished prompt into your AI assistant. If the answer misses the mark, adjust the field that caused it and try again.
FAQ
Which AI assistants does the generated prompt work with?
Any chat-based assistant or LLM API that accepts text instructions. The structure of role, task, context, format and rules is not tied to one vendor.
Is what I type stored or sent anywhere?
No. The prompt is assembled in your browser and never leaves your device unless you copy it somewhere yourself. Still avoid pasting confidential data into AI tools your company has not approved.
Why does the prompt put the context between triple quotes?
Delimiters make it clear where your source material starts and ends, so the model is less likely to confuse it with instructions.
Should I always add a role?
No. A role helps when expertise, vocabulary or perspective matters. For simple tasks a clear task description and output format matter much more.
