300+ FREE ChatGPT prompts just dropped for every industry
And how to actually use them without wasting time
300+ ready-to-use prompts just dropped. Free. Across 10+ industries.
Sales. Product management. Engineering. HR. Customer success. IT. Government. Education. All organized into role-specific packs you can steal right now.
Now, here’s the thing: these aren’t some advanced context engineering masterclass. They’re beginner prompts. But that’s actually why they’re valuable. They’re perfect starting points for building your own systems and generating ideas specific to your workflow.
So today, I’m breaking down what’s inside, who they’re for, and how to use them without wasting your time.
Let’s dive in.
OpenAI released this (but nobody’s using it right)
The prompts are organized into role-specific packs on OpenAI Academy.
Each pack targets a specific function. Sales gets prompts for outreach strategy and competitive intelligence. Product management gets competitive research, UX design, and data analysis. Engineering gets system architecture, debugging, and documentation.
Simple.
But here’s what they’re NOT: sophisticated context systems.
They’re templates. Fill-in-the-blank starters like:
and…
Which is actually perfect if you’re just getting started.
Beginner prompts matter (even if you’re not a beginner)
I know what you’re thinking.
“Alex, you’ve been hammering us about context systems, not prompt collecting.”
True. And I’m not backing down from that.
But let me be clear: I’m not against prompts. I’m against one-time prompts that don’t scale. Learning how to write effective prompts is incredibly valuable—especially when you start building system prompts for AI agents and automated workflows. That’s where the real leverage is.
These prompt packs serve a different purpose. They’re scaffolding. They show you patterns in how to frame requests, what details to include, how to specify outputs.
That’s not just a prompt. That’s a mini-lesson in prompt structure.
Three ways to actually use these (without wasting time)
Here’s how you extract real value:
First: Study the structure, then customize it
Don’t copy-paste blindly. Study how they’re built. Notice the pattern: role context + specific task + output format + sometimes safety guardrails.
Then adapt that structure with YOUR context assets.
Second: Find gaps in your workflow
Scroll through your industry pack. Look for tasks you’re doing manually. If there’s a template for “Generate onboarding checklists” and you’re building those from scratch every time—that’s your signal.
Take that starter. Add your context. Build a reusable system.
Third: Branch into adjacent use cases
The IT pack has templates for documentation, troubleshooting, support tickets. But if you’re in customer success? Same patterns apply to your docs.
Cross-pollinate. Steal frameworks from one industry and adapt them to yours.
Where these fall short (and what to do instead)
These are generic templates.
They don’t know your voice. They don’t understand your audience. Little context about your brand, products, or positioning (depending on how much you fit into the prompt).
Which is why—after exploring these packs—you still need your own context architecture.
Your Voice DNA.
Your ICP.
Your content libraries.
The prompt packs give you the prompt. But you give it the intelligence.
That’s the gap between generic output and content that transforms work.
How to access them (start here)
The packs are on OpenAI Academy.
Start with your role’s pack. Skim all the prompts.
Don’t try to memorize them. Don’t collect them like Pokemon cards.
Pick 2-3 that solve immediate problems. Test them. Refine them. Add your context. Build a system around them.
That’s how beginner prompts become advanced systems.
So yes, explore the prompt packs. They’re useful as starting points.
Just don’t stop there.
