Turn a WhatsApp Thread into a Project Brief
Use this prompt after pasting an exported WhatsApp (or SMS/iMessage) thread into your AI tool. It converts a messy client conversation into a structured project brief with clearly defined sections including goals, deadlines, budget, and flagged contradictions.
The Prompt
The text above is an exported WhatsApp conversation between me and a client. I need you to turn it into a structured project brief I can use to start work. Return the brief under exactly these headings: Goal — What the client wants delivered, in one or two sentences. Deadline — The date or timeframe mentioned. If multiple dates appear, list them all. Budget — Any figures mentioned, or note "Not stated" if absent. Requirements — Specific instructions, constraints, preferences, or non-negotiables the client mentioned. Open Questions — Anything that was raised but not resolved, or any detail I'll need before starting work. Contradictions — Flag any places where the client said conflicting things (e.g., different deadlines, changed requirements). Do not resolve these silently — list them so I can clarify. Client Contact Preference — How and when the client prefers to be reached, if mentioned. Write in plain, factual language. Do not add information that isn't in the transcript. If a section has no relevant content, write "Not mentioned."
