I want to automate this business process with an AI agent: [describe process]. Design the agent: 1. Trigger and inputs 2. Step-by-step reasoning and decisions 3. Tools and APIs it needs (CRM, email, calendar, database) 4. Where a human must approve 5. Guardrails and what the agent must never do 6. Failure cases and fallbacks 7. Metrics to measure success Then write the system prompt for the agent.

Customer support chatbot knowledge base

[paste content]
Evaluate AI output quality
Works with: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
Act as an AI quality evaluator. I will give you a user question, the ideal answer and an AI-generated answer. Score the AI answer from 1 to 5 on: accuracy, completeness, grounding in the source, tone, and safety. Explain each score in one sentence, list any hallucinated claims, and suggest a prompt change that would fix the issues. Question: [ ] Ideal answer: [ ] AI answer: [ ]
MCP server and tool design

I want an AI assistant to work with [system, for example our CRM / database / internal API] using the Model Context Protocol.

Then list example user requests and which tools the assistant should call.
RAG chatbot planning
Works with: ChatGPT, Claude
Plan a retrieval-augmented chatbot over our documents: [types and volume of documents].

Prompt chain for a complex task
Works with: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
Break this complex task into a chain of 4 to 6 prompts where each prompt's output feeds the next: [describe task, for example research a market and write a report]. For each step give the prompt text, the expected output format, and a quality check before moving on.

Turn a prompt into a reusable template
Works with: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
Here is a prompt I use often: [paste prompt]. Improve it and turn it into a reusable template: add a role, clear variables in [brackets], step-by-step instructions, output format, quality criteria, and 2 examples. Explain what you changed and why.
