It's Friday. And this is your One Minute Blog (OMB) – AI edition. A short email of good stuff for you to think about over the weekend, that takes about a minute to read this time with a tiny shot of prompt magic, delivered even faster than your thoughts.
Read time: Approx 1 minute.
Want to actually use AI this Monday, not just read about it? Here are a few killer prompts to try, straight from the latest AI releases. Dive in:
- For the Corporate Strategist (using Anthropic's Claude with Research):
- Prompt: "Research the key challenges and opportunities for entering the [your specific target market] market. Use our internal Q1 product feedback (upload it!) and recent online industry reports. Give me a summary and three strategic recommendations."
- (Why? Turns raw data & web noise into actionable strategy.)
- For the Productivity Seeker (using Notion AI for Work):
- Prompt: "Summarize all discussions related to Project Phoenix from my meeting notes, Slack messages, and emails in the last month, and identify key pending decisions."
- (Why? Cuts through clutter to find what actually needs doing.)
- For the Developer & Data Whiz (using OpenAI's Codex in ChatGPT):
- Prompt (Corp Pro focused): "Write a Python script to read ‘sales_data.csv’, calculate the total sales per region, and output a new CSV with ‘region’ and ‘total_sales’."
- (Why? Automates data tasks you thought needed a specialist.)
Feeling that spark? These are just a taste.
