Evidence: Company case studyA write-up published by the company that makes the AI tool or uses it.

Context: Published on Google's public policy site; Google makes Gemini.

Beginner-friendlyNo logins, payments or coding needed. Low risk: paste the prompt and you should get something useful.

Outcome

Eric V., a high school English teacher in New York City, gives Gemini the key points of a message and gets three tailored versions: one for parents, one for students and one for Google Classroom. Eric V. says that saves around 80% of the usual time on emails, and closer to 20% on unit and lesson planning, where the request might name the book and ask for three lessons on historical context plus a field trip idea. Gemini also helps make assignments clearer and more concise for the 11th graders.

Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

What the prompt labels mean

Here are the key points: [KEY POINTS]. Write three versions of this message: one email for parents, one for students, and one post for Google Classroom.

Try this in:

This prompt has blanks to fill in, like [KEY POINTS]. We'll copy it instead of filling it in, so you can edit it before you send.

Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Turn my key points into three versions of the same message, each written for its audience.

Questions to ask me first:
- What's the message about, and is there a date, deadline or action needed?
- What tone fits: routine update, reminder or something sensitive?
- Is there anything that should go to parents but not students, or the other way round?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Key points: [KEY POINTS]
- Dates and deadlines: [DATES]
- Audiences (parents, students, class platform post): [AUDIENCES]
- My sign-off: [SIGN-OFF]

Rules:
- Keep every fact, date and deadline exactly as I gave it; don't add new ones.
- Parents: clear, warm, and say what they need to do. Students: short and direct. Class post: a few lines with the action first.
- No student names or private details in any version.
- Keep each version short enough to read on a phone.

Checkpoint: Show me all three drafts side by side before I send anything.

If you get stuck: If a key point is ambiguous (for example a date without a time), ask me rather than guessing.

Verify before you finish: Check that every date and deadline matches across all three versions.

Output: Three ready-to-send drafts, labeled by audience.

Done when: I can copy each version straight into email or the class platform.

  • Florist Ashley Greer of Atelier Ashley Flowers tested ChatGPT Images 2.0 with the flowers for a favorite client's arrangements. The first prompt returned three designs in brass footed vases after a little over a minute. Greer then showed it the vases and bases already in use, asked for three versions of each (round and tight, round and bouncy/wild, wild and asymmetrical), and told it to remove the dahlias and phalaenopsis orchids Greer had decided against. Greer called the images 'polished provocations, several possible outcomes made visible before I cut a single stem'. Asked to identify the flowers without a materials list, it did 'a fairly decent job', given some obscure varieties.

  • Alexander Machulin's spouse edited a full talking-head reel with Claude. From 10 minutes of raw footage, Claude cut the video in CapCut, added subtitles and picked photos from the spouse's gallery, and nothing had to be fixed by hand. Machulin only helped with the setup: Whisper had started downloading to the laptop, and the regular chat had been opened instead of Claude Code. Machulin says the video came out good.

    Given brand context, timestamped transcripts, example clips and performance data, Claude Cowork analyzed the content well and surfaced topics and hooks, saving hours of watching; but the clips it cut started mid-thought or lacked context or conclusions, even after several re-prompts.
