Ready-made prompt templates

• Cut a text by 30%: Shorten this text by about 30%. Keep the meaning and my voice, and do not drop key information. Text: [text]
  Sample case: Text: “Our company has recorded growth in many areas this year, and in the coming period it will continue to provide our customers with the highest quality service. In this direction, new offices will be opened.”
  Our company grew this year and will keep serving customers with quality. To that end we will open new offices.

  Sample case: Text: “Your application has been taken into consideration by us, and the result shall be communicated to you at the earliest.”

• Constructive feedback on a text: Give me candid but constructive feedback on my text. List what works, what to cut and what to develop under separate headings. Text: [text]
  Sample case: Text: a product blurb: “Our product is very good. Everyone will love it. The price is fair too. Buy now.”
  What works: A short, clear call to action.
  
  To cut: “Everyone will love it” is an unproven generalisation; “very good” is an empty phrase.
  
  To improve: Show it is good with specifics (what it solves, how many people use it). Give a number or comparison for the price. State one main benefit clearly before the call to action.

• Summarize in three points: Summarize the long text in three points: the main idea, the strongest evidence and the next step. Text: [text]
  Sample case: Text: a long news article about the opening of a new bike lane in a city.
  • Main idea: A new bike lane opened in the city, offering an alternative to public transport and a place to exercise.
  • Strongest evidence: At the opening, hundreds of people a day were reported to have started using it.
  • Step to take: Follow the lane’s safety and maintenance plan and its connection points.
  
  (Note: the sample text was kept short; if you paste your own text, the points change accordingly.)

• Find inconsistencies: Find the inconsistencies and gaps in this text. For each problem say where it is and how to fix it. Text: [text]
  Sample case: Text: “The event takes place on 12 March, a Saturday. Admission is free. You can register until 15 March. 200 people are expected.”
  1. Date inconsistency: the registration deadline (15 March) is after the event (12 March). Fix: move the deadline before the event.
  2. Day/date: whether 12 March is a Saturday depends on the year. Fix: check a calendar.
  3. Missing: the event place and time. Fix: add them.

• Separate facts from opinions: Separate the facts in this text from the opinions. First list the verifiable information, then show the author's views in a separate list. Text: [text]
  Sample case: Text: “The new phone’s battery is great, I think the best. A charge lasts 3 days. The camera is not bad, works even in a crowd. The price felt high to me.”
  Verifiable information:
  • A charge lasts about 3 days (depends on usage, measurable).
  
  The author’s opinions:
  • The battery is great and the best
  • The camera is not bad
  • The price is high
  
  Note: “works even in a crowd” is testable but no evidence is given.
