Fast ones today. Five tips, five minutes. Each one is something you can use before the weekend.
01.

Use Claude for contracts and legal documents

Paste any contract into Claude and ask: "Summarize the key obligations, flag any unusual clauses, and identify what I should negotiate." Plain-English brief in 30 seconds. Not legal advice — but a smart head start.

Tool: Claude → thepromptory.com

02.

Perplexity beats Google for competitor research

Search "[competitor name] pricing strategy site:reddit.com OR site:g2.com" in Perplexity. You get synthesized, cited answers from real users — not their marketing page. Free tier is enough.

Tool: Perplexity AI → thepromptory.com

03.

The "reverse engineer" prompt

Take any piece of content you admire. Paste it into ChatGPT and say: "Analyze the persuasion techniques, structure, and emotional triggers used in this. Then rewrite it for my audience: [describe your audience]." Works on competitor emails, great LinkedIn posts, landing pages.

Tool: ChatGPT → thepromptory.com

04.

Loom AI summaries save 4+ hours per week

Record any internal update or walkthrough in Loom. It auto-generates a summary, action items, and a transcript. Send the summary instead of the video. Most people won't watch a 10-minute Loom — they will read a 5-bullet summary.

Tool: Loom AI → thepromptory.com

05.

Use Gamma before any pitch or presentation

Before you build a deck in PowerPoint or Google Slides, run your outline through Gamma. It'll structure it, design it, and give you a working draft in 2 minutes. Then refine. You'll save 2–3 hours per deck.

Tool: Gamma → thepromptory.com

Monday · September 28, 2026 · Issue #[ISSUE NUMBER] The biggest AI story of the weekend wasn't a new model. It was a company choosing to stop.
