Turn a repetitive process into an automation spec
A ready-to-use “Work & Business” AI prompt template. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.
Prompt template
Every (week/day) I have to do this repetitive thing: (describe the process, e.g., copy prices from three competitor websites into a spreadsheet, categorize and route support emails, paste report figures into slides). It currently takes me (time) minutes. Please: 1) break it into clear steps, marking which steps have clear rules and are automatable and which need human judgment; 2) for the automatable parts, suggest an implementation approach (browser extension / automation platform / simple script) and the maintenance cost of each; 3) design failure handling: how would I know if a source website is redesigned or a data format changes; 4) give me a minimum viable version that automates only the most painful part, doable in an afternoon.
