BUSINESS AI FORMULA.ORG — YOUR EVERYDAY STARTER KIT
A little learning. A lot more possible.

THE SIMPLE METHOD
1. BRIEF: Give ChatGPT a goal, context, and a useful output format.
2. REFINE: Ask a follow-up. Improve the answer instead of starting over.
3. CHECK: Verify the facts, edit the wording, and decide what to use.

PROMPT 1 — THE EMAIL YOU'VE BEEN PUTTING OFF
Help me write an email to [recipient] about [situation].
The facts they need are: [verified facts].
I want them to [next action].
Use a [warm/direct/professional] tone. Keep it under [number] words.
Don't invent dates, promises, or details. Flag missing information.

PROMPT 2 — FROM NOTES TO NEXT STEPS
Turn the notes below into an action list.
Make a table with these columns: action, owner, due date, open question.
Only include owners and dates explicitly stated in my notes.
Write "not specified" where a detail is missing.
Notes: [paste anonymized notes here].

PROMPT 3 — HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS
Explain the text below in plain English for someone new to the topic.
Give me a short summary and the three most important points.
Base the summary only on the text. Flag anything unclear or unsupported.
Text: [paste text you are allowed to share].

THE USEFUL FOLLOW-UP
What assumptions did you make? Which details should I verify?
Now make the wording clearer and shorter without adding new facts.

BEFORE YOU HIT SEND
[ ] I am allowed to share the input; private details are removed.
[ ] Names, numbers, dates, links, and claims have been checked.
[ ] The draft matches the source and doesn't invent promises.
[ ] The tone sounds like me and suits the recipient.
[ ] I have used my own judgment about whether to send or use it.

ChatGPT can make convincing mistakes. Always check important information.
