has anyone been cataloging AI writing prompts or have any recommendations for where to look?

This was a huge database compiled when ChatGPT first came out - outdated, but could still be of help brainstorming prompts: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y-xQwFkQFCKhPB3nOMyTMNPZ-vaFiof2-vWGBAeupTo/edit?gid=0#gid=0

@Amanda Peacock I don’t have a database, but I’m a pretty solid prompt engineer. What specifically are you looking for?

Amanda Peacock January 30, 2025 at 05:24 PM

thanks @Lauren Turner! just with some help writing emails!

Lauren Turner January 30, 2025 at 05:27 PM

Oh! I built a bot for that: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-KyMtDhZBj-merlin

Just type “start” and it’ll walk you through everything. Ping me if you have questions!

Amanda Peacock January 30, 2025 at 11:48 PM

Are you trying to bring in proprietary info? Or is the corporate account the only paid account you have? I think Kristine's approach to using a very detailed prompt is really helpful. Do you have an example of an email you want to create?

Ok, try this Prompt:

You are a marketing expert skilled in writing personalized, high-converting outbound email campaigns. Please write an outbound email that achieves the following objectives:

Objective & Strategy:
a. Goal of the email: (E.g., book a demo, schedule a consultation, download a free guide, sign up for a webinar, purchase a product, etc.)
b. Target audience: Describe the recipient persona, including job title, industry, company size, pain points, and key motivations.
c. Call-to-action (CTA): What specific action do we want the recipient to take? (e.g., “Schedule a meeting,” “Download a report,” “Reply to this email”)
Email Content Requirements:
a. Personalization details:
• Recipient name: (Required? Optional?)
• Company name: (Required? Optional?)
• Mention specific events, achievements, or business challenges relevant to the recipient’s company or industry.
a. Problem statement: Outline the common pain points or challenges the recipient faces that your product or service solves.
b. Value proposition: Explain clearly how your solution helps the recipient achieve their goals or solve their problems. Highlight unique benefits, features, and differentiators.
c. Credibility elements: Include relevant social proof such as:
• Testimonials, case studies, or success stories
• Specific data, statistics, or results from similar clients
• Awards, partnerships, or recognitions
a. Tone of voice:
• Friendly and conversational, but professional
• Adaptable to the industry: (e.g., more formal for finance or legal, more casual for tech startups)

Email Structure:
a. Subject line: A compelling, concise subject line that captures attention. (Max ~50 characters; personalization encouraged)
b. Opening line: A personalized and engaging hook to immediately connect with the recipient (e.g., referencing a recent success or challenge relevant to them).
c. Body content:
• Start with empathy or acknowledgement of their challenges.
• Present the solution and benefits (be concise and compelling).
• Provide a strong reason to act now (urgency, a limited-time offer, or a critical business opportunity).
a. CTA: Clearly state the desired action (e.g., “Click here to book your demo” or “Reply to this email to get started”). Keep it action-oriented and direct.
b. Closing: End with a warm and professional sign-off. Optionally, include a P.S. section to reinforce the CTA or add an extra benefit.
Additional Details:
• Word count preference: (Short and snappy? Detailed and informative?)
• Style preferences: (e.g., bullet points vs. paragraphs, humor vs. straight-to-the-point, etc.)
• Use of links or images: (Yes/No, placement preferences)

Example Input for GPT:

“Create an outbound email campaign for a B2B SaaS company targeting marketing managers at mid-size e-commerce brands. The goal is to schedule a demo for our AI-powered personalization software, which helps increase conversion rates by up to 30%. The email should include references to recent e-commerce trends, use a conversational but professional tone, and feature a testimonial from a client in a similar industry. CTA: ‘Book your free demo today!’”

You can plug in your campaign details, and GPT will generate emails that fit your goals.
