AI prompt generator for writers A free AI writing prompt generator for reports, emails and press releases

This AI prompt generator for writers turns your notes into a complete prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot: what you need to write, for whom, with what goal, what material and what tone. It’s built for writers, marketers, communications teams and anyone who drafts reports, sensitive emails, proposals or press releases at work. Founderz built it, the team behind the Certificate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation.

AI prompt generator for writers

Tell us what you need to write, who will read it and what material you have, and get a professional prompt for reports, sensitive emails, proposals, minutes or press releases. Only step 1 is required: everything else stays on Auto.

How to use the AI prompt generator for writers

To build your writing prompt, follow these steps. Only the first one is required: anything you skip stays on Auto.

1. Start with the essentials. Pick an example (Report, Sensitive email, Proposal, Minutes, Press release or Improve a text) or describe what you need to write, for whom and what notes or facts you have. Then choose the text: executive report, sensitive email, proposal or quote, minutes from notes, press release and five more.
2. Set the reader and the goal. “Who will read it” (from leadership to a public agency) and “What the text must achieve”: inform, get a decision, explain a change, request an action or ease a tension. In the advanced settings you decide what the AI may use as a source, for example only your material.
3. Choose the tone and format. Tone, length and “What the AI delivers”: one final version, two tone versions, outline first or a version with the changes explained. Under “Reading structure” you can ask for bottom line first, scannable text or questions and answers.
4. Adjust material and quality. The material you will paste (rough notes, a draft, the style guide or data) and extra checks such as easy read or flagging lines for legal review. In the advanced settings you set the response language and what the text must respect.
5. Generate and copy your prompt. Click “Generate prompt”, enter your email to see the whole prompt and copy it.

The “What do you need to write?” field covers ten jobs: an executive report, a sensitive email, a proposal or quote, minutes from notes, a press release, documentation or a procedure, an article or blog post, a speech, improving or adapting a text and a reusable template. Leave it on Auto and the AI works out the text from your context and tells you which one it chose.

Example: from loose notes to an executive report

With the generator’s “Report” example, the prompt starts like this. It’s an excerpt: the button copies the full prompt.

ROLE
Act as a professional writer and editor with experience in corporate, institutional and editorial communication. You write for a specific reader and a specific goal, with clear sentences and one idea per paragraph, and you never fill gaps with invented data, quotes, dates or agreements. You master executive reports using the Minto pyramid principle: conclusion first, grouped arguments and supporting data underneath.

GOAL
Write an executive report that lets the reader understand the situation and decide in under five minutes. The goal is to get a decision: set out the options, recommend one with its reason and phrase the decision so it can be answered yes or no.

CONTEXT
Context provided by the user (treat it as your main source):
[START OF BRIEF]
Notes from the operations meeting on switching our logistics provider. The current contract ends in March. Provider B offers next-day delivery nationwide instead of our current two days, but costs 8% more per shipment and wants a two-year commitment. We had 3 serious stock incidents last quarter with the current provider. Leadership must decide by January 15 whether to renew or switch.
[END OF BRIEF]

...

OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver: a title that states the conclusion; an executive summary of 5 lines at most; the context (SCQA) in one paragraph; 2 or 3 blocks with headings; an options table with columns Option, Upside, Cost or risk and What still needs confirming; and "Decision requested".

...

The full prompt adds the reader, how to handle your notes, constraints against invented facts and agreements, the working steps, the length and a final check before the answer.

The result: the assistant puts the recommendation in the first line, compares both options with the facts in your notes (delivery time, cost and incidents) and marks what you do not know, such as the exit penalty, with [TO CONFIRM].

Best practices: tips to refine your AI prompts

Use cases for writers and content teams

• Reports and minutes Go from notes to an executive report or actionable minutes with owners.
• Sensitive emails An email in two tone options, without losing the message.
• Proposals An offer with scope, risks and flagged assumptions.
• External communication A press release with its FAQ, or an article and content briefs for a blog.
• Editing Polish an existing text while keeping its meaning, or turn it into a reusable template.
• Writer’s block To overcome writer’s block, ask for structure and questions only, and write the text yourself.

What makes an AI writing prompt generator work

A good prompt has six parts: role, task, context, material, constraints and output format. That’s the core of prompt engineering and prompt creation, and it’s why the best prompt is rarely a single line typed into a chat box. LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic or Google all respond better to it.

Leave out the reader or the evidence and the model fills the gap with generic phrasing. Role-based instructions (“act as a professional editor”) help, but the context you add is what removes the guesswork. The generator works as a prompt builder: it asks for each part in order, so you get high-quality prompts without memorizing a framework, and unlike a static prompt creator it adapts the instructions to each task.

Why I built these generators

Frequently asked questions

Is this free AI prompt generator really free?

Yes, it’s free. Before it asks for anything, it shows you a preview with the first sections of the prompt. To see the whole prompt and copy it, enter your email and accept the Privacy Policy; receiving communications from Founderz is optional.

It only asks once per visit: any prompts you generate after that are shown in full.

What is the best AI for writing?

The one your organization approves for your documents. The prompt works the same in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and any assistant that accepts text, because it does not depend on a specific tool.

Is it a creative writing prompt generator?

No. It’s built for work writing: reports, emails, proposals, minutes, documentation and press releases. For stories and scripts, the screenwriting generator above is a better fit.

Does it replace the writer?

No. It helps you get a better-directed draft, but the voice, the facts, the sources and the editorial decisions stay yours.

What happens to the data I type in?

The generator doesn’t run a model: it combines your answers with instructions written by Founderz, in your browser. Only your email goes to Founderz when you ask to view the prompt, and usage statistics only record the options you choose, never your description or the prompt.
