Prompt examples

Compare the original prompt with the rewrite. You can copy the rewrite and adapt it to your task.

Your part

Each example ends with a step for you to take outside the prompt, such as setting access permissions, checking an answer or approving an action.

Email and agents

Sorting your inbox

Before

Go through my inbox and deal with anything urgent.

After

Go through today’s inbox. Draft replies to urgent messages and save them in Drafts. List separately any email that asks for a payment, a change of bank details, a password or a file.

Your part

Set the agent to draft-only access if the tool allows it, so the limit doesn’t depend on the prompt. Before acting on any payment request, call back on a number you already have.

Why it works: Draft-only access leaves you in charge of sending. You can review the flagged requests separately and check unusual ones by phone.
