▸ USE AI TODAY · a workflow to steal

Summarize a long email thread into what you actually owe

Paste the thread and ask: 'Summarize this in 4 bullets, tell me exactly what I'm being asked for, and draft a reply I can edit.'

Why it works: Long threads bury the ask. This surfaces your one action and gets you 80% of the reply written.

Security-first PR review: a diff read that hunts the bug class, not the typo

You're reviewing a big PR and low on time. Get a structured read that prioritizes correctness and security over style nits.

You are a staff engineer reviewing a pull request — a review aid whose findings I will verify, not merge blindly. Produce: A) RISK SUMMARY — a one-line verdict (safe / needs-changes / blocked) and the single biggest concern. B) FINDINGS TABLE — each issue: file/area, severity (blocker / major / minor / nit), the specific concern, and a suggested fix — sorted severity-first, with security and correctness above style. C) MISSING TESTS — the behaviors and edge cases this diff changes that the tests don't cover. D) QUESTIONS FOR THE AUTHOR — the 2-3 things I should ask before approving, where intent isn't clear from the diff. Inputs: [PASTE THE DIFF OR KEY FILES] · [WHAT THE PR IS SUPPOSED TO DO] · [LANGUAGE / FRAMEWORK] · [ANYTHING RISKY I ALREADY SUSPECT] Rules: Do not claim a line is buggy without saying why; if you're unsure, list it as a question, not a finding. Don't invent APIs or behavior not visible in the diff. Keep proprietary source out of consumer AI tools per your employer's policy. This drafts the review; you verify every finding before you approve. Do not invent facts, numbers, or details you weren't given.

Why: Human reviewers burn attention on style and miss the security and correctness bugs; a severity-sorted findings table that ranks security and correctness above nits, plus a separate 'questions' bucket for uncertain calls, focuses the review where risk actually lives — and the no-guessing rule keeps hallucinated findings out of the author's inbox.

Sequence de-genericizer: strip the 'could-be-anyone' lines from a cold outreach flow

Your sequence gets ignored because every touch reads like a template. Rewrite it so each message could only have been sent to this account.

You are a senior outbound strategist rewriting a cold outreach sequence so it stops sounding machine-generated. I will paste my current sequence and what I know about the target account. Produce: A) GENERIC-LINE AUDIT — a table of every sentence in my draft that could be sent to any account unchanged (generic value props, 'I hope this finds you well', vague 'companies like yours'), each with a rewrite anchored to a specific fact from my account notes, or a "[NEEDS A REAL DETAIL]" flag if I gave you nothing to anchor it to. B) REWRITTEN SEQUENCE — 4 touches, each led by one concrete, account-specific observation and one clear ask; no two touches repeat the same angle. C) PATTERN-INTERRUPT LINE — one honest, non-gimmicky opener for the touch most likely to be ignored. Inputs: [PASTE CURRENT SEQUENCE] · [WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT] · [MY OFFER IN ONE LINE] · [PERSONA I'M WRITING TO] Rules: Do not invent facts, names, titles, triggers, or angles or numbers I did not give you — mark anything unconfirmed "VERIFY" and list it separately. Keep confidential CRM data and customer lists out of consumer AI tools and follow your employer's AI-use policy. This drafts your thinking; you verify every claim against the source before it reaches a buyer or your leadership.

Interview synthesis: 12 transcripts into findings your partner will sign

Two weeks of expert interviews sit in a folder. Get to defensible findings — with quote-level evidence — before the midpoint readout.

You are a consulting research lead synthesizing qualitative interviews. I will paste anonymized interview notes or transcripts. Produce: A) FINDINGS TABLE — maximum 6 findings, columns: finding (one sentence, so-what phrasing), supporting evidence (interviewee number + short verbatim quote), count of interviewees supporting it, confidence (strong / emerging / single-source). B) CONTRADICTIONS — where interviews genuinely disagree: both positions, who holds each, and what evidence would resolve it. C) GAPS — the 3 questions still unanswered and which type of interviewee could answer each. Inputs: [PASTE ANONYMIZED NOTES/TRANSCRIPTS, LABELED BY INTERVIEWEE NUMBER + ROLE TYPE] · [THE ENGAGEMENT QUESTION THIS RESEARCH SERVES] Rules: Do not invent, merge, or paraphrase quotes into stronger claims — every finding must trace to at least one pasted line, and single-source findings must carry the single-source label. Verify counts before the readout. Keep all names out — interviewee numbers and role types only.

Resume gap analysis: your bullets vs the posting, keyword by keyword

A role you actually want just posted. Tailor your resume against it with a keyword gap analysis — without inventing experience you don't have.

You are a technical recruiter and resume screener for this specific role. I will paste my resume and the job description. Produce: A) GAP TABLE — columns: requirement or keyword from the posting, where my resume shows it (quote my exact line) or "gap", and strength (strong / partial / missing). B) REWRITES — my 6 weakest bullets rewritten in the pattern: action verb + scope + measurable result, using ONLY facts already in my material. Where a number is missing, write "[METRIC NEEDED — fill in]" instead of inventing one. C) POSITIONING SUMMARY — a 3-sentence professional summary targeted to THIS role, built from my strongest matched requirements. D) HONESTY CHECK — list anything in your own rewrites that overstates my input, and correct it. Inputs: [PASTE RESUME] · [PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION] · [ANY REAL WINS NOT ON THE RESUME YET] Rules: Do not invent experience, employers, titles, dates, or metrics — rewrites may only recombine what I provided. Flag every place a real number is needed rather than fabricating one. Verify the final resume against your gap table before I submit. Remove my address and phone number from any output.
