No email, no account, nothing to download. These prompts are plain text, so they work in whatever AI app you already have — copy one, paste it, use it today. If this is useful, the full course is the paid version.
Most people never try this one, and it is the one that makes them believe the rest.
Paste this:
Here is a photo of a document. Explain it to me in plain English like I have never seen one before. Tell me what it is asking for, what happens if I ignore it, and the three things I should check before I act on it.
Works on a renewal notice, a form, a bill, a letter from an agency. Take the photo straight down in good light and it will read it.
A photo shows everything on the page. Cover or crop anything you would not read out loud in a waiting room — other people's names, account and ID numbers, medical details — before you take it.
The answer is already in a file you own. You just never knew how to ask it.
Paste this:
Here are my numbers. Do not give me charts yet. Tell me the three things in here that would surprise me, in plain English, and what you would look at next if this were your business.
“No charts yet” is the whole trick. Ask vaguely and you get a wall of graphs that look impressive and say nothing. And anything this turns up about taxes, payroll or a loan is a conversation with your accountant — a person, not a prompt.
The file is yours. The people in it are not. Delete the name, pay, Social Security number and customer-contact columns before pasting — the pattern you are looking for is still there without them.
The worst time to write the reply is the minute you read the complaint.
Paste this:
Here is a complaint I received. First tell me what this person actually wants, underneath how they said it. Then write a reply that fixes the problem and sticks to what I know is true.
Angry messages are rarely about what they say they are about. The AI is not wiser than you — it is just not angry, and at 9pm that is worth a lot.
A complaint is someone else’s words about their own life. Take their name, address, account number and anything medical out before it goes anywhere. And if it threatens to sue, mentions an injury, or comes from a lawyer or an agency, close the app and call your own lawyer or insurer — that one is not a writing problem.
A supplier email three screens long. An invoice with eleven line items and no explanation. You skim it, because reading it properly costs an hour you do not have today.
Paste this:
Read this. In plain English: what is this actually saying, what numbers should I double-check, and what should I ask the sender about? Write it for someone with no background in this.
It is a reading aid, not an advisor. What it does is hand you the three questions worth asking, so you call the sender already knowing what to ask instead of guessing. Anything legal, financial or medical goes to a professional — not to an app, and not to me.
Before you paste: take out the other company’s account numbers and any personal details of third parties.
AI writes for an average person until you tell it your customer is not average. Nine out of ten weak answers are fixed by this one sentence.
Paste this:
Write this for a homeowner who has been quoted by three contractors already and cannot tell them apart. Short sentences. No jargon.
Same tool, same ten seconds of typing, completely different answer. You already know exactly who your customer is — you just have not been saying it out loud.
Describe your reader by what they need and what they already know. Do not aim your writing at people because of their age, their health, or because something bad happened to them before.
The thinking was never the hard part. The typing at 9pm is.
Paste this:
Turn this voice note into a message I can send. Under 150 words. Plain words, no corporate filler. Only use facts I actually said — if something is missing, ask me instead of filling it in.
Open the app on your phone, press the microphone, talk for two minutes like a voicemail. Then read it before you send it — it will get details wrong, and it is your name on the message.
A voice note names people without you thinking about it. Listen back and take other people’s details out before you paste it.
Needs an app with voice input — most phone AI apps have one.
One rule, always: take other people's information out before you paste — names, client and customer details, Social Security or account numbers, anything medical. Plenty of files you own still have other people in them; each lesson says what to remove.
One email every Friday with that week’s lessons, straight to your inbox. I write them. When one works for you, hit reply and tell me which — I read every one.
