Workflow Automation Planner
Most people describe workflows at too high a level for automation to work ('send a follow-up email' vs 'when a Typeform response is submitted with status Interested, add a row in Google Sheets and send a Gmail template within 5 minutes'). This prompt forces the specificity that automation tools require. The watch-outs section prevents building automations that fail silently.

3. **Recommended tools** - Best tool(s) for this automation with reasons (Zapier, Make, n8n, Python script, native integrations)
4. **Implementation steps** - How to set it up, in order, for a non-developer (or developer, based on my level)

Pro tips for better results
โDescribe the workflow at the most granular level possible - every click and copy-paste action counts
โStart with the automation that happens most frequently or takes the most time - the ROI compounds fastest there
โAlways build in an error notification (e.g. Slack message or email) so you know when the automation fails rather than silently dropping tasks
03
Why this prompt works
Most people write one-line prompts and get generic, surface-level AI responses. This prompt is engineered to produce expert-level output because it bakes in three principles that meaningfully shift response quality:
Role assignment
It tells the AI to act as a specific professional (a productivity expert), activating more relevant knowledge and shifting away from generic advice.
Structured output
It specifies the exact response format - numbered steps, comparisons, risk ratings - so you get organized, actionable answers instead of a wall of prose.
Context anchoring
The slots you just filled force the AI to ground every recommendation in your specific situation instead of defaulting to textbook advice.
For sharper output, use this prompt with Productivity Copilot - it already has productivity expertise built in and ships output in the format you expect.
