Prompts for the text generator
An AI text generator is only as good as the brief you hand it, so every card here is already a finished brief. Pick the job, read what comes back, send it into the tool and swap the topic, the length and the details for your own.
Work and correspondence
The writing that piles up at work. Write a business email you have been putting off, post a job advert that gets replies, and turn a company news announcement into something the website can actually carry.
Business email
A message you have already rewritten four times in your head.
Write a business email about the situation I describe. Put the point in the first two lines, then the details, then exactly what you want the reader to do and by when. Polite, no apologising twice, no filler opener. Add a subject line.
Subject: Invoice 240 — revised payment dateHi Mark, our audit moved the payment run to 14 April, so invoice 240 will settle a week later than agreed.Could you confirm by Friday that this works on your side?
Job ad
A vacancy that has to read like a person wrote it.
Write a job ad for the role I describe. Start with what the new person will actually work on in their first month, then the requirements as a short list, then what the company gives back. Name the salary range. No corporate clichés and no talk of a dynamic team.
**Backend developer (Go) — remote, UK hours**In your first month you will ship the new billing webhook and retire the one that wakes us up at night.- 3+ years with Go, Postgres and queues- £55,000–£70,000, four-day week, budget for conferences
Company news
Something shipped and the site needs a news item today.
Write a short press release about the news I give you. A headline, a one-sentence lead answering who did what and when, two paragraphs of detail, one quote from a named executive, and a closing paragraph about the company. Neutral and factual — nobody is excited or proud.
Northwind opens a second warehouse in LeedsThe retailer began shipping from a 12,000 sq m site on 3 March, adding next-day delivery for 4.6 million households in the north of England.“The north is now one day away, not three,” said operations director Amy Hale.
Website and sales
Copy that has to earn money. Write a product description for a shop listing, a landing page headline that carries the first screen, and the About us page for a small company that nobody ever volunteers to write.
Product description
A new item in the shop with nothing under the photo.
Write a product description for the item I describe. One sentence on who it is for, a short paragraph on what it does better than the obvious alternative, then the specifications as a bullet list. No superlatives you cannot back up and no invented certifications.
For anyone who cycles to work in weather that cannot make up its mind.The roll-top closes in one motion and keeps a laptop dry without a rain cover.- 20 litres, recycled tarpaulin- Fits a 16-inch laptop- 1.1 kg, two-year repair scheme
Landing page hero
The first screen, where a visitor decides to stay or leave.
Write the first screen of a landing page for what I describe: a headline of at most eight words, one subheading saying who it is for and what they get, three short benefit lines, and two button labels. Plain words, no slogans, no exclamation marks.
Bookkeeping that closes itselfFor shops under £2m a year — your ledger is ready on the first of the month, not the fifteenth.- Bank feeds in, VAT returns out- Your accountant keeps their own loginStart free · Book a demo
About page
The page everyone postpones and customers still read first.
Write an About page for the company I describe: how it started and why, what it does today in concrete terms, who actually works there, and what it deliberately does not do. Around 250 words, first person plural, no mission-statement language.
We started in 2019 with one van and a spreadsheet neither of us trusted.Today eleven of us deliver to 40 independent shops across Yorkshire, six days a week.We still do not take an order we cannot deliver ourselves — that limit is the whole business.
Everyday letters
Letters outside work, done in a minute: a congratulations message that does not read like a greeting card, invitation wording guests reply to, and a letter of complaint about a faulty product that gets read.
Congratulations
A birthday or an anniversary you cannot answer with a sticker.
Write a congratulation for the person and the occasion I describe. Warm but not sugary, with one concrete detail that could only be about this person, and a wish that sounds like a real wish rather than a card. Four or five sentences, no rhymes.
Fifteen years at the same desk, Anna, and you still pick up the phone like it is your first week.Happy birthday. May this year bring you fewer meetings, more of the work you actually like, and a holiday you do not cut short.
Invitation
An event people have to answer, not just notice.
Write an invitation to the event I describe. Say what it is in the first line, then where and when, what to expect, what to bring, and how and by what date to reply. Short and friendly, no exclamation marks, no emoji.
We are opening the new workshop on Mill Street and you are on the list.Saturday 12 April, from 6 pm, 14 Mill Street.Drinks, a short tour, no speeches. Bring nothing. Let us know by the 5th so we can count glasses.
Formal complaint
A fault, a refusal, and a deadline that has passed.
Write a formal complaint about the situation I describe. State the facts in order with dates and amounts, name the obligation that was not met, say exactly what you are asking for, and set a deadline for the reply. Cold and precise — no threats, no emotion, no rhetorical questions.
On 3 February I paid £420 for order 8841, with delivery promised within 14 working days.The goods have not arrived and two written requests, sent on 20 February and 6 March, remain unanswered.I am requesting a full refund within 10 working days of this letter.
Studies and explaining
Deadlines that land on a Sunday night. Get an essay draft you can argue with, have a topic explained in simple words, or come away with a five-minute speech for Friday that you can read standing up.
Essay draft
A title, a deadline, and a page that is still empty.
Write an essay on the topic I give you: an introduction that states the question, three arguments each carried by one example, a counter-argument with an honest answer to it, and a conclusion that does not repeat the introduction. Around 600 words, academic but readable, no bullet points.
The question is not whether a city can grow without cars, but what it gives up while it tries.Amsterdam is the example everyone reaches for, and it is the example most likely to mislead: the bicycle did not win an argument there, it won a decade of budget decisions.
Explain it simply
You understand it. Now someone else has to.
Explain the topic I give you to somebody with no background in it. One everyday comparison first, then how it actually works step by step, then where the comparison stops being true. No jargon unless you define it in the same sentence. Around 200 words.
An index fund is a shopping basket with one of everything in the shop.You are not betting on a single product — you are betting the shop stays open.**Where the comparison breaks:** a basket does not take a small cut of your groceries every year. A fund does, and that cut is the number to check first.
Speech
Five minutes on a stage and no notes yet.
Write a speech for the occasion I describe, about five minutes when read aloud. Open with a short scene rather than a greeting, keep sentences short enough to say in one breath, name people by name, and end on one line the room will remember. No quotations from famous people.
Twelve years ago this room was a garage with a heater that never worked.Karim carried the first server in himself, and then sat with it all night because the fan sounded wrong.We did not set out to build a company. We kept turning up, and this is what turning up became.
Social and blog
Feed jobs in four shapes: write a social media post for a channel, generate an Instagram caption for a small business, lay out an expert breakdown, or tell a personal story post that gets read to the end.
Post for a channel
You have the topic and a channel waiting for something today.
Write a post for a Telegram channel on the topic I give you. The first line hooks and says what this is about, then short paragraphs of one or two sentences with air between them. No greeting, no hashtags, one question at the end. Under 900 characters.
Your laptop is flat by lunch and the battery is almost never the reason.Three settings drain it faster than anything you actually do on the machine — and two of them are on by default.Which one is running right now?
Instagram post
The photo is ready, the caption is not.
Write an Instagram caption for the photo I describe. A hook in the first line, then three or four short lines broken by line breaks, a light closing question, and five relevant hashtags on a line of their own. Under 700 characters.
Six in the morning, no filter, cold coffee ☕The run I nearly skipped turned into the best hour of my week 🏃What did you nearly skip today?#morningrun #runningcommunity #earlyhours
Expert breakdown
You know the subject and want a post that shows it.
Write an expert post on the topic I give you for a professional audience. Open with the belief most people hold, explain how it actually works, back it with two concrete numbers or cases, and close with what to do differently on Monday. No filler sentences and no motivational ending.
Most support teams measure first response. Customers feel resolution.- Median first reply: 4 minutes. Median fix: 3 days.- Those 4 minutes buy nothing if day three is still silent.Start reporting both numbers side by side and watch which one the team defends.
Story post
A real episode you want told, not summarised.
Turn the episode I describe into a short story post. Start in the middle of the scene, keep the details concrete, use first person and past tense. No moral at the end — let the last line land on its own. Under 1200 characters.
The bakery had been shut for two hours and Tom was still weighing flour by hand.He said the first loaf of the day decides the mood of every loaf after it, and that no machine has ever been able to tell him why.
