How to use AI prompts, even if you've never opened ChatGPT

By Tarek · Updated 2026-11-10

A "prompt" is just the message you type to an AI assistant. The better the message, the better the answer. That's the whole secret, and it's why I built the prompt library: so you don't have to work out the perfect message yourself.

Step 1: Pick an AI assistant

You only need one. All of these have a free plan and all of the prompts on this site work in them:

Make a free account on one of them. That's it.

Step 2: Find a prompt for your chore

Search the box on the home page for what you want done: "meal plan", "CV", "complaint", "budget". Open the prompt that fits.

Step 3: Fill in the blanks

Every prompt has small boxes, like How many people or Your budget. Type a few words in each. You can skip boxes; the AI will just guess or ask you.

The more specific you are, the better. "Vegetarian, 2 people, 600 DKK a week, max 30 minutes on weekdays" gets a much better meal plan than "healthy food".

Step 4: Open it in ChatGPT or Claude

Click Open in ChatGPT or Open in Claude. The prompt is copied and opened for you. If it doesn't appear in the box automatically, press Ctrl+V (or long-press and Paste on your phone) and hit Enter.

Step 5: Ask for changes

This is the part most people miss. You don't have to accept the first answer. Just reply:

The AI remembers the conversation, so you don't need to repeat anything.

Three rules to stay safe

  1. Don't paste ID numbers, passwords or bank details. Remove them from letters before you paste.
  2. Double-check facts that matter. AI can be confidently wrong, especially about laws, prices and health.
  3. Read before you send. It's your name on the email, so give it a quick read.
