Steel-Man the Opposing Case

Research & Insights

Builds the strongest honest version of the argument you disagree with.

ChatGPT Claude

Text Advanced 1 340

Open

I believe: [MY_POSITION]

Build the strongest honest case AGAINST it.

Rules:
- Argue as someone who genuinely holds this view and is well-informed, not as a debate exercise
- Use the best evidence available to that side, not the weakest
- Do not include an argument you think is bad just to have three
- Where the counter-case rests on a value judgement rather than a fact, say so — that is where real disagreement lives

Then:
1. Which part of my position survives this intact
2. Which part does not, stated plainly
3. The single piece of evidence that would move me most, and whether it exists
4. What we would have to agree on before the disagreement could be resolved at all

Do not conclude that both sides have a point.

Interview Guide for User Research

Research & Insights

Questions about what people did, not what they say they would do.

ChatGPT Claude Gemini

Text Intermediate 3 360

Open

Write a [DURATION]-minute user interview guide.

WHAT I WANT TO LEARN: [RESEARCH_GOAL]
WHO I AM TALKING TO: [PARTICIPANT]

Rules that make the data usable:
- Ask about specific past behaviour, never about hypothetical future behaviour
- No leading questions. No questions containing our product's name until the last section.
- Open broad, narrow gradually
- For each question, give the follow-up probe that gets past the first polite answer

Include:
1. A two-minute warm-up that is not small talk
2. The main questions in order, with timings
3. The one question I must ask even if we run out of time
4. What NOT to say when they criticise something I built
5. A closing question that surfaces what I forgot to ask

Flag any question that will produce an opinion rather than evidence.

Synthesis Across Many Interviews

Research & Insights

Finds the pattern across raw notes and separates it from the loudest single quote.

ChatGPT Claude

Text Advanced 3 400

Open

Here are notes from [COUNT] interviews about [TOPIC]:

[NOTES]

Synthesise:
1. The patterns that appear across multiple participants. For each, say how many mentioned it — a theme from one person is an anecdote.
2. Where participants directly contradict each other, and what would explain the split
3. The thing several people worked around rather than complained about — those are the real problems
4. What surprised you against what a reasonable person would have predicted
5. The strongest verbatim quote for each pattern
6. What these interviews cannot tell us, given who was in the sample

Do not rank by how memorable a quote was. One vivid story is not a finding.

Literature Summary With the Disagreements Kept

Research & Insights

Summarises a body of reading without smoothing over where sources conflict.

ChatGPT Claude Perplexity

Text Advanced 2 420

Open

Summarise the sources below on [TOPIC].

[SOURCES]

Structure:
1. What is broadly agreed, and how firmly
2. Where sources genuinely disagree — keep the disagreement, do not average it away. Say what each side rests on.
3. What is asserted often but supported thinly
4. Methodological limits that apply across several of these at once
5. The open question this body of work has not answered
6. What a careful reader should take away, in three sentences

Attribute every claim to its source. Where I have given you only a title or abstract, do not fill in the findings from memory — mark it [NOT READ] and say what you would need.

Questions

Prompt FAQs

Still stuck? Our team answers every message.

Still have a question? We usually reply within one working day.

How do I use these prompts?

Copy any prompt with one click, paste it into your AI assistant, then replace the bracketed blanks — [TOPIC], [AUDIENCE] and so on — with your own details before sending. The blanks are listed on every prompt page so you know what to prepare.

Which AI models do these work with?

Each prompt lists the models it was written for. The text prompts are largely model-agnostic and run well on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other assistants; the image and video prompts use syntax specific to their tool, such as aspect-ratio flags, so those are worth matching to the model named on the card.

Are the prompts free to use?

Yes. Every prompt in the library is free to copy, edit and use commercially. You do not need an account to copy one.

Why do some prompts tell the model to say “I do not know”?

Because a confident wrong answer is more expensive than an admission of uncertainty. Several prompts here ask the model to mark unverified claims or to stop and ask rather than guess — that instruction is doing real work and is worth keeping when you edit them.
