5 everyday AI prompts to make your own
Open the AI chat app you already use. Copy a prompt and replace the brackets with your own details.
These are suggested starting points. Follow up with “shorter,” “a different example,” or “ask me what else you need.”
Find the words for a message
Turn a rough thought into something you’d actually send—to a friend, a colleague or the family group chat.
Help me write a message to [who]. I want to say [rough idea]. Make it [tone] and keep it [length]. Keep these details: [names, dates or other facts]. Don’t add promises I haven’t mentioned. If something’s missing, ask me.
Dinner from what you have
One ingredient list, three dinner ideas and a prompt you can adapt.
I have 4 eggs, 2 tomatoes, one block of firm tofu, half a cabbage and uncooked rice. Seasonings: oil, salt, soy sauce and black pepper only. Equipment: a frying pan and rice cooker. Suggest three dinners for two, aiming for under 20 minutes of active cooking, with rice cooking separately. No shopping and no assumed garlic, spring onion, sugar or starch. List the ingredients for each option and recommend the simplest.
Make sense of a long document
Find the dates, instructions or answers you care about without starting with a summary of everything.
Help me read this document. I want to know [my question]. Keep the answer short and show me where you found it. If the document doesn’t say, tell me. Then turn the useful bits into a checklist.
Explain it in a way that clicks
Work through a question, practise a little English, or get an explanation that starts where you are.
Help me understand [topic]. I already know [what I understand], but I get stuck at [the confusing bit]. Explain it with an everyday example. Then ask me one question at a time. If I’m stuck, give me a hint before showing the answer.
Plan a day out
Tell it where you’re going and what you like. Get a few ideas, leave room for lunch, and keep the plan relaxed.
Help me plan a relaxed day around [area] on [date]. We’re going with [who], we like [interests], and our budget is about [amount]. Suggest two activities and somewhere to eat, with time for breaks. Add a rainy-day alternative and tell me which opening hours or bookings to check.
