Adjust the specifics — audience, tone, length — to match your situation.

Which AI tool works best to write pupil report comments?

+
Claude handles this prompt well, but the same structure works in Claude, Gemini, and other modern LLMs. The reason it works isn't the tool — it's the level of context and constraint in the prompt itself.

Why does my AI pupil report comments come out generic?

+
Generic output almost always traces back to a vague prompt like "Write a report comment for my student". To fix it: add audience, tone, length, examples to follow, and things to avoid. The strong prompt above shows each of those in action.

Can I use this prompt commercially?

+
Yes — these are templates, not protected content. Adapt them freely for client work, internal use, or production tools. Output rights depend on the AI tool's terms (ChatGPT, Claude etc each set their own).
