    How It Works

    Four Steps to Better AI Output

    1

    Find Your Role

    Pick the role-specific page that matches what you do day-to-day. CEO, business operations, sales and marketing, or IT and security.

    2

    Pick Your Complexity Level

    Basic — single-prompt, copy-paste, works immediately with no setup. Intermediate — multi-step prompts, may benefit from custom context. Expert — full system prompts and Project setups for serious productivity gains.

    3

    Copy the Prompt and Replace the Placeholders

    Every prompt in this library uses [BRACKETED_PLACEHOLDERS]. Replace them with your specific information before submitting.

    4

    Iterate

    The first response is rarely final. Read the Prompt Engineering Guide for the iteration patterns that improve every output.

    Tool Compatibility

    Every Prompt Works Across Major AI Tools

    All prompts in this cookbook are tested with:

    • ChatGPT (free, Plus, Team, and Enterprise) — for ChatGPT prompts for work
    • Claude (free, Pro, and Team)
    • Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365 integration)
    • Google Gemini (free and Google Workspace)

    Where a prompt works best in a specific tool, we'll note it. Otherwise, paste into any chat interface.

    Use These AI Prompt Templates Safely

    AI prompts are only as safe as the AI platform you're using. Consumer-tier ChatGPT and free AI tools may retain your inputs as training data. That's a problem if you're pasting customer names, financial figures, or internal documents.

    Before using these prompts with sensitive data:
    • Check your AI platform's data handling policy
    • Use enterprise tiers (ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude Team, Copilot for Microsoft 365) when possible
    • Read our guide on Using AI Safely at Work for the full guidance
