Simple AI Prompts

If you've never used AI at work, this account is for you. 5 prompts for everyday professionals who don't know where to start. No confusing tech talk. No experience needed. Just copy, paste, and let AI do the work ↓

@ehsan_parizi @KaiXCreator We are saying the same thing bro. I'm literally saying if you are using AI in tandem with your work it can be 100% AI, using it as a partner YOU still need to know the context which is the what, why and is the output even good.

@SimplyPrompted @KaiXCreator The same logic doesn’t apply there at all. Making a website requires knowledge, taste, and hours and hours of work. Making “products” with ai doesn’t!

If AI builds everything for you, what’s your real job?

@ehsan_parizi @KaiXCreator The same logic applied when anyone could publish a website. We didn't all become our own designers we just got pickier about who we hired. The floor drops but the ceiling for real and bespoke work gets higher.

@SimplyPrompted @KaiXCreator If things get easier to make & product quality improves nobody needs u to build anything for them, they’d make it themselves the way they want. The “why it matters” is also totally irrelevant if people make things themselves. And The 1% becomes 0.001% and we all get poorer.Yay!

@fidexcode AI isn't perfect so someone who can distinguish accuracy of AI output will be a future skill to have in your career.

Sooner or later, companies and brands will get tired of AI slops and will begin to hire back talents

@rauchg AI makes a sharp person sharper. AI makes a mediocre one faster at being mediocre.

If you become exceptional at managing agents, but are also exceptional in your understanding of the fundamentals, you will be unstoppable. We all prefer to work with masters of their craft. What’s new: you can’t afford to miss out on the amplification agents have on your output

@TTrimoreau The person who knows what to do with the output. AI gives you the answer. It doesn't give you the judgment to know if that answer is right or the experience to act on it.

If everyone has access to the same AI tools… What becomes the differentiator?

AI will give you an essay when you needed a bullet list. A paragraph when you needed a table. Three pages when you needed one. Just tell it the format upfront. 'Give me this as 5 bullet points' or 'Keep this under 100 words.' Now you start to get exactly what you needed the first time.

@trikcode Same thing happened when everyone started using Excel. Suddenly everyone was a "data analyst" .. We will learn here also that access isn't the same as judgment.

everyone can build now. that's exactly the problem.

@eliana_jordan Most corporate teams haven't even committed to one tool yet, let alone figured out which job each one is best at. Most corporate people are still just chatbot style using these tools.

people using one ai tool for everything are missing the point chatGPT for ideas perplexity for research claude for deep analysis + automation cursor for coding

@missmayn The difference between using AI to do more and using it to think less and most people figured out the second one first 😂

one of Ai’s biggest marketing problems is we see everyone who uses it on a regular basis getting noticeably dumber.

@paraschopra Nobody's talking about this enough! Junior roles were the training ground for the next generation of senior talent ... Sr. leaders of the future will be interesting how it'll intersect with AI usage.

AI is automating interns/early stage jobs first as they require least amount of domain knowledge. If this means that experienced folks will start managing a fleet of AI agents instead of early-career professionals, who is going to train the next generation?

@LuizaJarovsky Ironically the replies on X and starting to look liked LinkedIn with overly polished and hedged responses which often reek of AI writing since AI strives for perfect punctuation and sentence structure.

Using AI to write social media comments is the epitome of the deskilling wave.

@kapilansh_twt Both, depending on how you're using it. Knowing what to outsource based on expertise and time will be the long-term skill of using AI.

is AI helping you think better or think less be honest

@gregisenberg Quiet as it's kept, corporate teams are still figuring out how to prompt ChatGPT 🤣 The gap between where the conversation is happening and where most workers actually are has never been wider.

My 30+ observations on the greatest opportunities in AI agents right now: And some ideas that are keeping me up at night. 1. The new buyer on the internet is an AI agent. Imagine billions of new customers showing up with money to spend but they only shop via MCP. That's what's happening. No MCP server means you're invisible to the fastest growing buyer on the internet. 2. Every franchise system in America (30,000+) needs an agent layer and none of them have one. One founder per franchise vertical. That's 30,000 businesses waiting. 3. Everyone said "distribution is the only moat" a year ago. Now I'd add that the only moat is distribution plus memory. The company that has your audience AND your agent's accumulated context is impossible to leave. 4. Consumer mobile is more interesting than it's been since 2012. Apps can finally DO things for you instead of showing you things. The next wave of $100M apps are being built right now. 5. The most interesting startup nobody has built is an agent marketplace where you rent access to someone else's trained agent. A recruiter spent 6 months training a sourcing agent on healthcare hiring. That agent is worth renting to every other healthcare recruiter on earth. The agent itself becomes the product. 6. A sorta strange phenomenon that's happening right now is agents are developing preferences. Give the same agent the same task 100 times and it starts developing patterns in how it approaches it. Nobody is studying this yet. But the agents that develop good patterns are worth more than the ones that don't. That's a new kind of asset. 7. Dead internet theory is about to become dead SaaS theory. Half the apps you use will quietly replace their support team, their onboarding team, and their content team with agents. You won't notice for months. Then you'll realize you haven't talked to a human at that company in a year. 8. The most valuable data in the world right now is sitting in the support tickets of small or mid tier SaaS companies. Every ticket is a customer telling you exactly what to build next. Mine this. 9. The most interesting pricing problem nobody has solved is how do you price a product when your costs change every time OpenAI or Anthropic updates their model pricing? Your margins can swing 40% overnight based on a decision made in San Francisco. The company that builds dynamic pricing infrastructure for agent-based businesses solves a problem every AI company has. 10. The best AI products feel like they're reading your mind. The worst ones feel like filling out a form with extra steps. 11. An interesting arbitrage I've noticed lately is hiring a human VA for $20/hour to supervise an AI agent that does $200/hour work. The human just checks the output. 12. The managed AI agent business is becoming the new agency model. $5k/month per client. You build it, run it, maintain it. The client gets a digital employee they never have to think about. This will be a $50 B+ category. 13. The first "shadow agent" scandals are about to drop. Employees running personal agents on company infrastructure without telling anyone. Using company API keys. Agents accessing internal docs. IT departments have little visibility into this right now. Lots of opportunity to build companies here. Definitely a painkiller not a vitamin type of business. 14. Right now there are probably millions of agents running on autopilot that their creators forgot about. Still burning tokens. Still sending emails. Still scraping websites. Still costing money. The "find and kill your zombie agents" tool is a product that writes itself. 15. Companies are starting to hire based on someone's agent portfolio instead of their resume. "Show me 3 agents you built that are running right now." It's REALLY early but it's starting. 16. Your Slack archive is a product. Every company's internal Slack has thousands of messages explaining how they actually do things. The company that lets you point an agent at your Slack history and auto-generate SOPs and agents from it will be enormous. 17. We're watching the cost of intelligence fall faster than the cost of distribution. Which means distribution is now the expensive thing. 18. The most underrated asset a human can have in 2026: the ability to sit in a room with another human, make eye contact, and have a real conversation. As AI handles more of the transactional stuff, the humans who can do the relational stuff become disproportionately valuable. The soft skills people used to dismiss as fluffy are becoming the hard skills. The hard skills people spent decades acquiring are becoming the soft ones. 19. There are MANY huge companies to be built around the fact that most people's agents are running on their personal laptops which they also use to browse the internet, check email, and download random files. The attack surface is enormous. One compromised Chrome extension and your agent's API keys, customer data, and workflows are exposed. 20. There's a new type of burnout forming that doesn't have a name. It's not from working too hard. It's from context switching between human work and agent work 50 times a day. Reviewing agent output, correcting it, approving it, reviewing again. The mental load of supervising agents is different from the mental load of doing the work yourself. Some founders are telling me they were less tired when they did everything manually because at least the cognitive pattern was consistent. 21. The cheapest form of market research: search "[your industry] spreadsheet template" on Google. Whatever people are tracking manually is your product. 22. Half the YC companies pivoted within 8 weeks of demo day. Not because they failed. Because agents let them test 5 ideas in the time it used to take to test one. The concept of "committing to an idea" is dissolving. Serial pivoting is becoming the default because 1) AI lets you move fast 2) the world is moving fast. 23. The loneliest job in tech right now is being the only person at your company who understands what the agents are doing. You can't explain it to your boss. You can't hand it off to a colleague. If you leave, everything breaks. You've become a single point of failure for an entire automated system. That person needs a title, a team, and a backup plan. Most companies haven't figured this out yet. 24. Your browser history is the most valuable training data you own and you're giving it away for free. Every site you visit, every product you research, every competitor you study, every pricing page you screenshot. That behavioral data, structured and fed to an agent, would make it understand your business better than any onboarding call. The company that lets you turn your browser history into agent context builds something nobody can replicate. 25. Everyone is building AI wrappers. Nobody is building AI unwrappers. The tool that takes an AI-generated document and tells you which parts a human wrote and which parts were generated. 26. Stripe just became the most important company in the agent economy and they barely had to do anything. Every agent that sells something needs Stripe. Every agent that buys something needs Stripe. They're the payment rail for the entire agentic internet by default. 27. The most undervalued API in the world right now is the US Postal Service address verification API. It's practically free. Every local business lead gen agent needs it. Every real estate agent needs it. Every direct mail agent needs it. Boring government infrastructure is quietly becoming the backbone of agent-native businesses. 28. The concept of "business hours" is for humans. Your agent closed a deal in Tokyo at 3am, processed the payment, sent the onboarding email, and updated the CRM before your alarm went off. 29. What happens when agents start recommending other agents? Your research agent finds that a competitor's sales agent is better and suggests you switch. Agent referral networks are forming organically. The first agent affiliate program is probably 6 months away. 30. Cal dotcom closed their source code. That's the canary. When open source companies start closing up, it means agents were cloning their product too easily. Every open source company is quietly asking the same question right now. 31. "AI for pet groomers" sounds like a joke and that's exactly why it will work. 150,000 of them in America. Zero tech. All scheduling by phone or IG DMs. The joke ideas always win. 32. The thing that will seem most obvious in hindsight: we spent 2025-2026 arguing about which model is best while the entire value was in the orchestration layer. The model is the CPU. Nobody buys a computer based on the CPU anymore. They buy it based on what they can do with it. Makes so much sense in hindsight. What else will be obvious in hindsight? I'll share more notes soon. I can't sleep with all that's going on. Maybe you too. What an incredible time to be building.

The fastest way to get better AI output at work is to tell it who is going to read it: 1. Write this for my VP who wants the bottom line fast. 2. Write this for a new hire who has no context. The AI doesn't know your audience. You do!

@rand_longevity It's tricky as shorten week would just have expectation of more output. Those extra hours around meetings, coordination, and "looking busy" actually account for 15-20 hours of your week 😬

the 40 hour work week is a 20th century artifact, nobody needs to be working more than 3 days a week

@davidpattersonx Doubt it'll be by 2030. The jobs that survive just won't look the same but they will coexist with AI. The ones most at risk are basic information tracing / functions that don't need any real judgment

AI and robots will replace all jobs by 2030. I have been saying this for a couple of years. Most people thought I was crazy. Have recent developments changed your view?

@CACandChill the gap between someone who actually knows their stuff and someone who is just coasting will get a lot more visible

AI won’t replace humans. But it will expose them.

@businessbarista The rebrand works because "change management" doesn't need a budget approval. Same work with different packaging. Marketing 101 haha

AI transformation is just a cooler way of saying data engineering, process mapping, change management and intelligent automation.

@emollick This is what trips up most corporate people starting out they think they need to learn a whole new language. You don't you already know how to give a summary to a team member just do the same to AI.

Stop turning prompting into magic spells (and yes, this includes random slash commands with obscure outcomes). Let this one area of working with AI not be weird. Just ask for stuff, in well-specified formats, like a manager, not a sorcerer with a bunch of incantations.
