Project Delay Client Update Email Template
Use this prompt to generate a 'bad news' version of your weekly update template for situations where a project is delayed or something has gone wrong, so your team has a ready-made way to communicate problems honestly without causing client panic.
The Prompt
Create a variation of this template for weeks when the project is behind schedule or something has gone wrong. The tone should be honest and calm — not defensive or full of excuses. It should acknowledge the issue clearly, explain what's being done about it, and end with a specific next step and date.

Add a Vendor or Client Introduction Task to Onboarding
Use this as a follow-up prompt when the AI has omitted the vendor or client introduction step, which is commonly left out of AI-generated onboarding checklists because large-company training data handles it differently.
Rewrite a Corporate Onboarding Checklist for Small Business
Use this as a follow-up prompt if the generated checklist feels too generic or reads like a large-company HR template, to push the AI toward simpler, more actionable language suited to a small business.
Restructure a Flat Onboarding List Into Five Phases
Use this as a correction prompt in the same conversation if the AI returns a flat list instead of the five-phase structure (Before Day 1, Day 1, Days 2–5, End-of-Week-1 Check-in, Days 8–30).
Find Documentation Gaps Before a New Hire Starts
Use this as a follow-up prompt in the same conversation to identify gaps in your existing documentation before the new hire's first day, so you can prepare materials they'll need rather than fielding repeated questions.
