"Write an investor update email"
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
"Write a monthly investor update email for a pre-Series A SaaS startup. Metrics this month: MRR £18k (up 12% MoM), churn 2.1%, 3 new enterprise pilots signed. Challenges: onboarding is slower than target. Structure: headline metrics table, highlights (3 bullets), lowlights (1 bullet, honest), focus for next month (2 sentences), ask (intro to one specific type of contact). Tone: confident and transparent."
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?

Lowlights section is what separates trusted founders from spin merchants
Specific ask at the end turns the update into a useful networking tool
