How this library is organised
The library groups every prompt guide on the site into 10 categories, from model-specific prompts for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to career writing, academic work, image generation and industry guides. Inside each category you will find three kinds of page. Prompt packs are sets of copy-paste prompts for one job in one tool. How-to guides walk through a task step by step and explain what to check. Comparisons and reviews help you choose a tool before you start.
If you know which tool you use, start with its prompt hub or the prompt packs below. If you know the job but not the tool, scroll to the category that matches it and open the how-to guide first. It will usually tell you which tool suits the task and link to the right prompts.
New to writing prompts? Start with the Prompt Engineering category. A short guide to system prompts or reusable templates will make every other page in the library easier to use, because you will recognise the parts each prompt is built from: a role, the task, the material, the format and a rule for what to do when information is missing.

Picking a prompt
Look for the prompt that matches the output you need, not the one with the most impressive title. A prompt for "meeting minutes with an action register" is more useful than a general "summarise this meeting" prompt if your goal is a list of owners and deadlines. Read the whole prompt before copying it. If it asks for material you do not have, such as a transcript or a data export, get that first.
Adapting it to your situation
- Swap every bracketed placeholder for your real details.
- Paste or attach the material the prompt refers to.
- Cut instructions that do not apply. Shorter and relevant beats long and generic.
- Add one line about your reader and one about what the model should do if information is missing.
- Run it, read the result against your source, and change the prompt if something is consistently off.
A short worked example
Say you run a small bakery and want to reply to a two-star review that complains about a late cake order. You open the Industry Guides category, find a review-reply prompt and adapt it:
Draft a reply to the Google review below. I own the bakery. Facts: the order was 40 minutes late because our van broke down. We refunded the delivery fee the same day. Tone: apologetic, short, no excuses beyond the facts. Do not offer anything I have not listed. Under 80 words. Review: [paste the review]
The template supplied the structure. The facts, the limit on what you will offer and the word count came from you, and they are what keep the reply honest and on brand. Read it once more before posting, because the model does not know your customer.
If the first draft offers a discount you never mentioned, or apologises for something that did not happen, the model is filling a gap. Do not fix that by hand every time. Add the missing fact, or a line such as "mention nothing beyond these facts", and run the prompt again. The corrected prompt is the one worth saving.
Keep the prompts that work
Once you have adapted a prompt and it gives you a result you would actually use, save that version somewhere you can find it: a note, a document, or the custom instructions or project settings in the tool you use. Label it with the job it does and the date. The next time the task comes up you start from a prompt that already fits your situation, and you only change the material you paste in. Over a few weeks this becomes a small personal library that is more useful than any general list, because every entry has been tested on your work.
Mistakes that waste a good prompt
- Leaving placeholders in, which invites the model to make up the missing details.
- Asking about a document without attaching it.
- Accepting statistics, quotes or citations the model produced without a source you can open.
- Regenerating ten times instead of adding the missing instruction once.

Library FAQ
Are the prompts in the library free to use?
Yes. Every prompt on the site is free to copy and adapt for personal or work use. Most of them also run on the free tiers of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot, although some features, such as Copilot in Excel, need a paid plan.
Which AI tool should I use with these prompts?
Use the tool named in the guide when the task depends on it, for example Microsoft 365 Copilot for anything that reads your Outlook or Teams content. For general writing and planning, most prompts work in any major chatbot with small changes.
What is the difference between a prompt pack and a how-to guide?
A prompt pack is a set of ready prompts for one job in one tool, with notes on what to paste and what to check. A how-to guide explains the whole task, including when AI helps, when it does not, and how to review the result. Many packs link to the matching guide and the other way round.
Why do some guides recommend a specific tool?
Some tasks depend on what a tool can reach. Microsoft 365 Copilot can read your work mail and Teams meetings, for example, and an image task needs an image model. Where the choice does not matter much, the guide says so and the prompt works in any major chatbot.
How often are the guides updated?
Each guide shows its own last updated date. AI products change quickly, so check that date and the tool's own documentation before relying on details like plan limits, prices or menu names.
Can I trust the output of a prompt?
Treat it as a draft. A good prompt makes a useful answer more likely, but models still make mistakes with facts, figures and quotes. Check anything that matters against a source you can open before you use it.
