The right words to talk to AI.

A prompt is just a sentence you give to an AI so it can help you. The problem is never the tool — it's finding the right words. So Jo wrote them for you. Here are 15 ready-to-copy prompts — each one really tested, explained in plain English, with the tip for when the result isn't quite there yet. You copy, you swap out whatever's [in brackets], and off you go.

✉️ Writing · A tricky email

Turn an angry message into one that lands

When you have to write a delicate email without making things worse.

Here's an email I want to send, but I wrote it in the heat of the moment: [paste your draft]. Rewrite it so it stays firm on the substance but calm and professional in tone. Goal: [get a refund / set a boundary / say no]. Keep it short. Give me 2 versions: one polite, one more direct.

Tip: too cold? "Add a human sentence at the start." Too soft? "Be more direct about my request."

🏠 Everyday · Negotiating a bill

Prepare a negotiation without the stress

Subscriptions, insurance, banking: the right arguments, ready in advance.

I want to negotiate [my insurance premium / my internet plan / my bank fees]. I currently pay [amount] and I think it's too much. Help me out: give me 3 solid arguments, 2 exact sentences to say on the phone, and a comeback for their "there's nothing we can do" objection. Stay polite but firm.

Tip: not comfortable on the phone? Ask: "Write me a full script, line by line, like a dialogue."

💼 Work · Annual review

Prepare your annual review (and dare to ask)

Make your year count without overselling — or underselling — yourself.

I have my annual review coming up. My role: [your job]. This year I did: [list your achievements, even roughly worded]. Help me: 1) turn this into 4 concrete, compelling wins, 2) prepare my request for [a raise / a promotion / training], 3) anticipate 3 tough questions from my manager, with how to answer each.

Tip: too much jargon? "Make it sound like me, plain and simple." Want numbers? "Point out where I could quantify my results."

🏠 Everyday · Understanding a contract

Translate a contract into plain English

Lease, insurance, warranty: know what you're actually signing.

Explain this text to me as if I knew nothing about it: [paste the passage from the contract]. Tell me in plain terms: 1) what it actually means for me, 2) what I'm committing to, 3) the 3 points I should watch out for or ask about before signing. No legal jargon.

Tip: AI can get legal details wrong. For anything important, treat this as a first pass and have a professional check it.

🏠 Everyday · Meals for the week

A smart meal plan, without breaking the bank

Eat varied all week on a tight budget and zero hassle.

Make me a meal plan for [number] people, for [7] days (lunch and dinner), on a budget of about [amount]. Constraints: [vegetarian / no pork / quick to cook / short on time in the evening]. Give simple recipes and a shopping list grouped by aisle. Favor ingredients that carry over from one meal to the next to avoid waste.

Tip: too repetitive? "Mix up the cuisines more." Too slow to cook? "Only recipes under 20 minutes."

💼 Work · CV

Make your CV sharp (without lying)

Show off your real experience so it makes them want to call.

Here's my experience, written simply: [describe your roles and what you did]. I'm going for the role of [job title]. Rewrite this into punchy CV lines: action verbs, concrete results, without exaggerating or making things up. Keep it honest and verifiable. Also suggest a 2-line summary for the top of the CV.

Tip: sounds fake or inflated? "Keep it factual — I need to be able to defend all of it in an interview."

💼 Work · LinkedIn

A LinkedIn post that sounds like you

Share an idea without falling into the empty, endless post trap.

I want to post on LinkedIn about [your topic / your work news]. Here's what I want to say, roughly: [your ideas]. Write an authentic post, first person, plain and human — definitely NOT the "influencer" style with one-line sentences and emojis everywhere. Honest hook, one real idea, a question at the end. Maximum 200 words.

Tip: still too "corporate"? "Cut anything that sounds salesy, write like I'm talking to a colleague."

🎓 Studying · Revising

Actually revise, not just re-read

Get quizzed so it sticks, instead of re-reading ten times and keeping nothing.

I'm revising [subject / topic] for [an exam / a test]. Here are my notes: [paste your notes]. Help me revise actively: 1) summarize the essentials in 10 points, 2) ask me 8 questions like an oral exam, one at a time, and wait for my answer before correcting, 3) at the end, tell me the 3 concepts I know the least.

Tip: too easy? "Ask trickier questions." Lost? "Re-explain that concept with an everyday example."

🏠 Everyday · Customer complaint

A complaint that actually gets a response

Faulty product, slow service: the right message — calm and effective.

Write me a complaint about [describe the problem: faulty product, late delivery, service not provided]. I've already [what you've tried]. I want to get [a refund / a repair / a goodwill gesture]. Firm but courteous tone, clear facts, and mention my rights without being aggressive. End with a specific request and a deadline for their reply.

Tip: no reply after that? "Write a firmer follow-up mentioning the next steps."

✉️ Writing · Speech

A birthday speech that touches people

Find the right words for someone you love, without the clichés.

Help me write a short speech for [name]'s [age]th birthday — they're my [relationship: mother, friend…]. Here's what I want to say and a few memories: [tell it roughly]. Warm and sincere tone, a touch of humor, not gushy. About [1 to 2] minutes spoken. Write it so it sounds like me, not like a greeting card.

Tip: too polished, not enough you? "Add a little hesitation, a more casual line, as if I were really speaking."

🎓 Studying · Learn fast

Learn a subject in 7 days

A clear plan to get into a new field, a little each day.

I want to understand the basics of [subject: investing, gardening, coding, art history…] in 7 days, with [30 minutes] a day. I'm starting from zero. Make me a day-by-day plan: what I learn, one exercise or hands-on task, and a question to check I understood. Explain simply, like to a curious beginner.

Tip: one day too packed? "Lighten day 3, I've only got 15 minutes." Want more? "Suggest a bonus day 8."

✉️ Writing · Proofreading

Correct a text without flattening it

Have AI proofread your writing while keeping your own voice.

Proofread this text: [paste your text]. Fix only spelling, grammar, and genuinely awkward sentences. Above all, KEEP my style, my words and my tone — don't rewrite everything, don't make it "smooth." Show me the important corrections and explain each in one line why, so I can improve.

Tip: it rewrote too much? "Go back to my original text and fix only the mistakes, nothing else."

🚀 Business · Finding a name

Brainstorm a business name

Get 20 name ideas for your project, then refine the best ones.

I'm launching [describe your business in 2 sentences]. My audience: [who your customers are]. The vibe I want to give off: [warm / serious / creative / local…]. Suggest 20 brand names: short, easy to remember and pronounce. Sort them into 3 styles (descriptive, evocative, invented) and explain the idea behind each in one word. Avoid overly generic names.

Tip: before you settle on a name, check it's available (domain name, trademark) — the AI won't know that.

🏠 Everyday · Doctor's appointment

Prepare your questions before a medical appointment

Don't forget anything you meant to ask the doctor.

I have an appointment soon with [my doctor / a specialist] about [the reason]. Help me prepare: which questions to ask to really understand, what information to give them about my situation, and how to note down their answers. Do NOT give me a diagnosis or treatment — I just want to show up prepared and not forget anything important to ask.

Tip: AI is not a doctor. It helps you prepare and phrase your questions; the medical answers come from your practitioner.

💼 Work · Inbox

Take back control of your inbox

Sort, prioritize and reply fast when your inbox is overflowing.

I'm swamped with emails. Here's the list of pending subjects and senders: [paste them]. Help me get organized: sort them into 3 piles (deal with right now / reply in 2 lines / archive or ignore), and for the 5 most urgent, draft a short, ready-to-send reply. Explain your sorting logic.

Tip: never paste confidential information (numbers, health data, passwords) — stick to subjects and context.

So what exactly is a prompt?

A prompt is simply the sentence you give an AI to tell it what you want. Nothing more. The word sounds a bit intimidating, but the idea is ordinary: it's your request, written in words.

Imagine you hand a task to a brilliant intern who doesn't know you. If you say "write me an email," you'll get something generic. If you say "write an email to cancel my Tuesday appointment, polite but firm, in 4 sentences," now they know exactly what to do. The difference between a disappointing result and a stunning one is almost never the tool: it's the precision of the request. It's the whole difference between "make me some food" and an actual recipe.

A good prompt comes down to three ingredients: the context (your situation), the task (what you want) and the style (the tone, the length). You don't need a magic formula or technical vocabulary. You write in plain English, the way you'd speak to someone. And if the result isn't perfect, you don't delete everything: you add a sentence — "shorter," "warmer," "give me 3 versions." That's called refining, and that's where the magic happens.

That's exactly what this gallery does: every one of Jo's prompts is already well built, with the [brackets] for you to fill in with your own reality. All you have to do is copy, adapt, and adjust. With a little practice, you'll soon write your own without even thinking about it — and that's the day AI truly becomes a tool of yours.
