Business · ChatGPT, Claude
Act as a B2B proposal writer. I am pitching [SERVICE/PRODUCT] to [CLIENT COMPANY], who need [CLIENT'S PROBLEM OR REQUIREMENT, from our meeting notes: PASTE NOTES]. Write a proposal with: a cover page line, executive summary focused on the client's goals, understanding of their needs, proposed solution, deliverables and timeline table, pricing options [PRICES], why choose us with relevant experience [DETAILS], terms, and next steps. Keep it under 900 words and use the client's own words from the meeting where possible. Do not include claims I have not given you.

Tip: Send within 48 hours of the meeting while interest is high. Follow up with a call two or three days later.

Clean up messy business data in a spreadsheet

Business · ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini
You are a data cleaning expert in [EXCEL / GOOGLE SHEETS]. My customer or sales sheet has these problems: [e.g. duplicate customers, phone numbers in different formats like 0300 and +92300, names in mixed case, extra spaces, dates stored as text, city names spelled differently]. Here are 5 sample rows: [PASTE ROWS]. Give me step-by-step fixes with exact formulas (TRIM, PROPER, SUBSTITUTE, TEXT, DATEVALUE, UNIQUE, or others as needed), how to remove duplicates safely, and how to standardise city names. Tell me to keep a backup copy before making changes.

Tip: Work on a copy of the sheet. Paste real sample rows with personal details changed.

Build a 12-week Python learning plan from zero

Coding · ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
Act as a patient programming mentor. I am a complete beginner who wants to learn Python in 12 weeks while studying or working, with about [HOURS PER WEEK] hours a week. My goal is [GOAL, e.g. data analysis job, freelancing, automating office work]. Create a week-by-week plan in a table with columns: Week, Topics, Free resources to use, Mini project, How I know I am ready to move on. Keep topics in a logical order (variables, loops, functions, files, libraries, and so on). End with three common mistakes beginners make and how to avoid them. Ask me two questions first if my goal is unclear.

Tip: Replace the hours and goal with your real situation. After you get the plan, ask the AI to expand any single week into daily tasks.

Explain a Python concept with everyday analogies

Coding · ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
You are a teacher who explains programming to people with no technical background. Explain the Python concept [CONCEPT, e.g. list comprehensions, dictionaries, classes, decorators] to me. Structure your answer as: 1) a one-line plain definition, 2) a real-life analogy from daily life in Pakistan (a bazaar, a cricket match, a school register, or similar), 3) the smallest code example possible with comments on every line, 4) one slightly bigger example, 5) two practice questions for me to try, without the answers. Keep the whole thing under 350 words.

Tip: Try your own answers to the practice questions, then paste them back and ask the AI to check them and explain any mistakes.

Get graded Python exercises for my level

Coding · ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek
Act as a Python coding coach. My current level: [LEVEL, e.g. I know loops and functions but not classes]. Give me 8 practice exercises that increase in difficulty, each with: a short problem statement, sample input and expected output, and a hint hidden under the label 'Hint:'. Do not give full solutions. Make at least three exercises about real situations such as calculating a utility bill, splitting a restaurant bill between friends, or tracking monthly expenses in PKR. After I send my solutions, review each one for correctness, readability and edge cases.

Tip: Solve the exercises in your own editor first, then paste your code back in one message for review.

Understand JavaScript async and await properly

Coding · ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot
You are a senior JavaScript developer teaching a junior. Explain how promises, async and await work in JavaScript, and why my code sometimes runs in an unexpected order. Use a simple timeline diagram in text form to show what the event loop does. Then take this snippet of mine and explain exactly what happens line by line and in what order the output appears:

[PASTE YOUR CODE]

Finally, rewrite it in the clearest modern style and list the two most common async mistakes to watch out for.

Tip: Paste a real snippet that confused you. If you have none, ask the AI to invent a confusing example and walk through it.

Guide me through a small JavaScript DOM project

Coding · ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
Act as a coding mentor who guides without doing everything for me. I want to build [PROJECT, e.g. a to-do list, a PKR to USD converter with manually entered rates, a quiz app] using plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, no frameworks. Break the project into 6 to 8 small milestones. For each milestone give: what to build, which DOM methods or concepts I will need, and a test I can do in the browser to confirm it works. Only show code if I ask for it. Start with milestone 1 and wait for me to say 'done' before continuing.

Tip: Work through one milestone at a time and paste your code when stuck. This builds real skill instead of copying a finished app.

Learn enough PHP to customise WordPress themes

Coding · ChatGPT, Claude
You are a WordPress developer teaching PHP to someone who already builds WordPress sites with page builders but has never written code. Teach me only the PHP I need to safely edit a child theme: variables, arrays, if statements, loops, functions, hooks (actions and filters) and the template hierarchy. For each topic give a tiny example taken from real WordPress use. Include a warning section on what never to edit directly and how to keep a backup. Finish with a small exercise: add a custom message below every blog post using a hook.

Tip: Practise on a local site (for example with XAMPP or LocalWP), never on a live client site.

Practise SQL with a sample shop database

Coding · ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek
Act as a SQL tutor. Create a small practice database for a general store in [CITY] with tables for customers, products, orders and order_items. Give me the CREATE TABLE statements and INSERT statements with about 10 realistic rows per table, prices in PKR. Then give me 12 questions in increasing difficulty (simple SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, HAVING, JOINs, subqueries, one window function). List only the questions first. When I send my query for a question, check it, show the correct version if needed and explain the difference.

Tip: Run the setup script in MySQL, SQLite or an online SQL playground, then answer the questions one by one.

Explain someone else's code line by line

Coding · Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot
You are an experienced developer helping me understand code I did not write. Language: [LANGUAGE]. Here is the code:

[PASTE CODE]

Please: 1) summarise in three sentences what it does overall, 2) walk through it block by block in plain English, 3) point out any parts that look risky, outdated or confusing, 4) list the external libraries or functions it depends on and what each is for. Assume I know basic programming but not this codebase. Do not rewrite the code unless I ask.

Tip: Paste one function or file at a time for best results. Remove passwords, API keys and client data before pasting.

Map the structure of an unfamiliar project

Coding · Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini
Act as a tech lead onboarding me to a new project. Below is the folder structure and the main config files of a [FRAMEWORK, e.g. Laravel, React, Django] project I just joined:

[PASTE TREE OUTPUT AND KEY FILES]

Explain: what each main folder is responsible for, where a request or user action enters the app and how it flows through, where I should look to change [SPECIFIC FEATURE], and which files I should avoid touching as a newcomer. Finish with a 5-step checklist for my first week to understand the project safely.

Tip: Generate the folder tree with the 'tree' command (or 'tree /F' on Windows) and paste only the important parts.

Fix a Python error from its traceback

Coding · ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek
You are a Python debugging expert. I got this error:

[PASTE FULL TRACEBACK]

Here is the relevant code:

[PASTE CODE]

My Python version is [VERSION] and I am running it on [OS / environment]. Explain in simple words what the error means, which exact line causes it and why. Give the fix as a corrected code block, then explain how I could have found this myself (which part of the traceback to read first). If there are several possible causes, rank them from most to least likely.

Tip: Always paste the full traceback, not only the last line. Mention if you are using a virtual environment or Jupyter notebook.
