In short: Prompts for follow-ups after meetings, introductions, proposals and replies. Pick one of the 10 prompts below, fill in the [PLACEHOLDERS] with your own facts, and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok. Each prompt page says when to use it and what to fill in.

A good follow-up is short, specific and makes the next step obvious. These prompts take the facts of a meeting or a relationship and turn them into a draft that does that, whether you are thanking someone, sending a proposal or gently keeping a conversation open.

Questions people ask

How soon should I send a follow-up?

Sooner is easier than later, because the conversation is fresh. There is no rule that fits every situation; the prompt helps you write it quickly once you decide.

What should I give the AI?

Who you met, what you discussed, what you promised, and the one next step you want. The prompts have placeholders for each.

Will the email sound like me?

Add one or two lines of your own writing or a short style note and ask the AI to match it. Always edit the result before sending.

Can I use this for a cold email?

Yes, with the outreach prompt. Use real, relevant detail about the recipient and follow the rules that apply to commercial email where you send.
