About Work Prompts

Most AI guides explain what the technology can do. This site is about what to actually type on Monday morning.

Why this site exists

AI tools are free and one click away, yet most people who try them for work give up after a couple of attempts. Not because the technology is hard, but because it is unclear what to write. The answer comes back thin or generic, and writing the email yourself starts to feel faster.

The difference between a useless and a genuinely good AI response almost always lies in the question, not the tool. A prompt that states who the recipient is, what tone you want and how long the answer should be gives you a draft you can actually send. Making that difference easy to reach is what this library is for.

What you get

• Ready-made text templates for tasks that come back every week.
• A filled-in example for every prompt, so you see the kind of answer to expect before you try it.
• Prompts organised both by task and by job role.
• No account, no sign-in, and nothing stored.

How the prompts are written

Every prompt starts from a concrete work task rather than a technical feature. The starting question is always the same: what is someone actually struggling with on a Tuesday afternoon? The prompt is then written so it produces a useful answer even for someone who has never used an AI tool before.

Prompts are tested in at least one AI tool before publication, and the filled-in example on each page shows the kind of response it can produce. The wording is deliberately plain — brackets instead of variables, short instructions instead of long system prompts — because something you understand is easier to adapt.

What gets updated

AI tools change quickly. A prompt that worked well six months ago may need adjusting, and those get rewritten or removed. New prompts are added when recurring tasks turn up that the library does not cover.

Worth knowing

• The content is practical guidance, not legal advice.
• Never share national ID numbers, health data or customer data with a public AI tool.
• Always read the AI's answer before passing it on — AI gets things wrong, confidently.
• Your workplace may have its own AI guidelines that take precedence over this advice.

Free to use

The prompts are free to use at work, to paste into your internal documents, or to share with colleagues. No attribution required. The only thing that is not okay is copying the whole library and republishing it as your own service.
