Curated AI prompts for business, creative, and technical use cases.
Claude Opus 5 (also works well with GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3 Pro — any model with a large context window for pasting full contract text)finance-negotiationYour company's project management SaaS vendor sends a 22-page renewal agreement three business days before the auto-renewal deadline. Legal review normally takes a week, but you need to know today whether anything in the contract needs to be pushed back on before you sign or let the renewal window close.
A prompt that reads a vendor contract, flags the clauses that actually create risk, and drafts the exact redline language and negotiation talking points for each one — instead of a generic 'read this contract' summary.

Works with any capable model with a large context window (Claude Sonnet/Opus, GPT-5 tier, Gemini 3 Pro) — needs enough context length to hold a full meeting transcript, so avoid small/fast tiers for long recordingsWriting & CommunicationA product manager just left a 45-minute cross-functional planning meeting between engineering, design, and marketing about a delayed Q3 feature launch, and needs to send a decision recap within the hour — before people's memories of who-agreed-to-what start to diverge — but manually re-listening to the recording or notes to reconstruct exactly what was agreed would take 20+ minutes and still risk missing a contradiction between two speakers.
Stop letting 'we'll figure it out' get written into a recap as a firm decision. This prompt separates what was actually agreed from what just sounded agreed.

Works with any frontier reasoning model (Claude Opus/Sonnet, GPT-5 tier, Gemini 3 Pro) — pair with a quick web check for current per-token pricing, since the model's training data may lag real-time rate changesArtificial IntelligenceA support-team lead needs to route 40,000 monthly customer tickets into 12 categories with a suggested first-response draft, must stay under 3 seconds per ticket, keep costs under $2,000/month, and cannot send EU customer PII outside the EU — but has no AI infrastructure background to know which model tier fits those constraints without expensive trial and error.
Stop defaulting to the most expensive model for every task. This prompt builds a cost/latency/quality comparison across model tiers and gives you a defensible recommendation, not a guess.

Claude Opus 4.7 (works well with GPT-5.4 and Gemini 2.5 Pro; needs a model with strong structured-table output)Startups & BusinessA 12-person SaaS company just wrapped a quarterly strategy offsite with a completed SWOT analysis on a whiteboard — churn is flagged as a weakness, rising AWS costs as a threat, a competitor's weak enterprise tier as an opportunity — but the founder has to walk into Monday's all-hands with a concrete 30-day plan, not a photo of a whiteboard nobody will look at again.
A prompt that takes a completed SWOT analysis and converts it into a week-by-week 30-day action plan with owners, deadlines, and success metrics — so the strategy session actually changes what your team does on Monday.

GPT-5.4, Claude Sonnet 5, or any reasoning-capable model — works best with one that can hold both weeks' context and reason about relative priority, not just summarizeproductivityIt's Monday morning, you have 15 minutes before your first meeting, and you have a messy calendar export plus a half-remembered sense of what mattered last week — you need an honest read on where your time actually went, not just a to-do list for the next five days.
Turn a messy week of tasks and meetings into an honest scorecard against your real priorities, plus a ranked list for the week ahead — not just another to-do list.

GPT-5.4 or Claude Sonnet 5 — any frontier model with a large context window handles this well; feed it the full article text, not a summarymarketingYou just published a 1,500-word blog post analyzing a major industry report, and your social calendar for the week is due in 20 minutes — you need 10 genuinely different posts, not the same headline copy-pasted across five platforms.
Turn any blog post into 10 genuinely distinct, platform-native social posts in one pass — not the same headline copy-pasted five times.

Works best with Claude Opus 4.8 or Sonnet 5 for large functions (context window and code reasoning matter more than raw speed here); GPT-5.4 is a solid alternative. Avoid smaller/faster models for this — risk scoring requires holding the whole function's logic in view at once.Developer ToolsYou've inherited a 400-line function that everyone on the team avoids touching because it 'works, mostly' and nobody remembers why it's structured the way it is. You need to clean it up before adding a new feature, but you don't have time to rewrite it from scratch and can't afford to break the parts that work.
A structured prompt that reviews a known-problematic function, proposes specific refactors with before/after code, and scores each one for regression risk before you touch anything.
prompt-engineeringcode review
Works well with Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3 Pro — needs strong instruction-following and a large context window to hold pasted email threads. Claude and GPT-5.4 handle the scoring rubric most consistently; Gemini 3 Pro is a solid free-tier alternative for smaller batches.productivityYou're back from a 3-day conference with 140 unread emails and 45 minutes before your next meeting. Somewhere in that pile is a client threatening to cancel, a deadline moved up, and a dozen threads that can wait until next week — but you can't tell which is which without reading every single one.
A structured prompt that scores every email by urgency and impact, then hands you a ranked action list with drafted replies for anything time-sensitive.

Works best with GPT-5.4 or Claude Opus 4.8 for the trigger labeling accuracy. Gemini 3.5 Flash and DeepSeek V4 also work well for the initial hook generation.marketingYou're launching a cold email campaign or paid ad set for a product next Monday, and you have one afternoon to generate enough genuinely different headline angles to A/B test properly — instead of writing three headlines from gut instinct and hoping one works.
A prompt that generates 20 genuinely different headline variations for any campaign, each tagged with the specific psychological trigger it uses — built for real A/B testing, not guesswork.

Works best with GPT-5.4 or Claude Opus 4.8. Gemini 3.5 Flash and DeepSeek V4 also handle this well, though they occasionally need a reminder in the prompt to avoid hypothetical phrasing.Startups & BusinessYou believe freelance graphic designers are losing money to scope creep, and you've booked eight customer interviews for next week before writing a line of code — you need questions that will actually surface whether the problem is real and costly, not questions that make you feel good about your idea.
A prompt that generates interview questions engineered to catch the false-positive validation that kills startups before they ship — no leading questions, no hypotheticals, just past behavior.

Works best with Claude Opus 4.8 or GPT-5.4 for large response sets (500+ rows); Claude Sonnet 5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro handle smaller surveys (under 200 responses) equally well.Data AnalysisA People Ops manager just closed a 340-response employee engagement survey across the engineering organization and has 48 hours to present findings to the VP of Engineering before a headcount planning meeting, with only a raw CSV export and no built-in analytics dashboard.
A structured prompt that turns raw survey exports into a findings report — quantitative breakdown, coded themes with quotes, sentiment analysis, and specific recommended actions, not just a summary of averages.

Works best with Claude Opus 4.8 or GPT-5.4 (large context window handles long reports cleanly). Claude Sonnet 5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro also perform well for reports under 15 pages.Writing & CommunicationA chief of staff receives a 34-page market research report from an outside consulting firm at 4 PM, with a board meeting scheduled for 9 AM the next morning where the CEO needs to speak to its findings with confidence.
A structured prompt that turns any long report into a single-page executive brief — built to surface exactly what changes a decision, not summarize everything.
