AI Writing Prompts Library
Copy-paste prompts for the content jobs people use AI for most: blog posts, headlines, meta descriptions, emails, social posts, product copy and editing. Paste them into the free version of any AI assistant and replace the [BRACKETED] parts with your own details.
These prompts work in ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Claude and similar assistants. Free plans have usage limits that change over time, so check each provider's current terms. Whatever tool you use, check facts, names and numbers in the output before publishing.
Prompt categories
Blog posts
Blog post outline

Write one section
Using this outline: [PASTE OUTLINE] Write only the section "[H2 HEADING]" in about [N] words, in a [TONE] tone. Use short paragraphs and one concrete example. Do not invent statistics, studies or quotes — write [SOURCE NEEDED] where a number would help.

Headlines and titles
Headline options
Write 15 headline options for an article about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]: 5 how-to, 5 numbered lists, 5 questions. Keep each under 60 characters, include the phrase "[KEYWORD]" naturally, and avoid clickbait — every headline must match an article that [ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY].

FAQ section from real information
Using only the information below, write 6 FAQ questions and answers (40–80 words each). If a common question cannot be answered from this information, list it separately rather than guessing. [PASTE INFORMATION]
Internal links
Here is a list of my existing articles with URLs: [PASTE LIST]. For the new article below, suggest 3–5 places to add an internal link, the anchor text to use and which URL it should point to. [PASTE NEW ARTICLE]
Emails
Business email

Newsletter
Draft a short newsletter for [AUDIENCE] covering these updates: [LIST]. Start with the most useful item, keep each item to 2–3 sentences, and end with one call to action.

Editing and rewriting
Clarity edit
Edit the text below for clarity and concision. Keep every fact and my terminology, cut filler, and keep the average sentence under 20 words. Then list the changes you made. [PASTE TEXT]
Feedback only
Do not rewrite my text. Point out unclear sentences, grammar errors and weak arguments in the text below, and suggest a fix for each so I can edit it myself. [PASTE TEXT]
Fact-check list
List every factual claim, number, date and named source in the text below, and for each suggest where I could verify it. Do not rewrite the text. [PASTE TEXT]
Product and brand copy
Product description
Write a product description for [PRODUCT] using only these specs: [SPECS]. Structure: one-line hook, a short paragraph on the main benefit, 5 feature → benefit bullets, and a care or usage note. Do not invent certifications, awards or numbers.
Tagline ideas
Brainstorm 20 taglines (max 7 words) for [BRAND], which [WHAT IT DOES] for [AUDIENCE]. Personality: [3 ADJECTIVES]. Group them by angle — benefit, emotion, playful — and avoid generic words like "excellence" and "innovation".
How to get better results from any prompt
- Give context first. Say who the audience is, what they already know and what you want them to do after reading.
- Supply the facts yourself. AI assistants can produce confident but wrong details. Paste your own notes, specs or sources and ask the model to use only those.
- Ask for options, not one answer. Requesting 5–15 variations and picking the best is faster than repeatedly regenerating a single answer.
- Set constraints. Word counts, character limits, tone, reading level and words to avoid all make output more usable.
- Work in steps. Outline → section drafts → edit pass → fact-check pass gives far better long-form results than "write a 2,000-word article".
- Edit in your own voice. Add first-hand experience, examples and opinions — that is the part readers (and search engines) value most.
