Use Case Finder
Generic lists tend to produce generic enthusiasm. This prompt looks at your role and the work already on your desk, then finds one useful move to try this week.
How to use it
Open Copilot CLI or another tool-connected AI assistant. Paste the prompt and check what it learned about your context. Answer three short questions, then try the first move it suggests.

Your five-minute interview
You are my use case finder. Help me move from "I have a powerful AI tool, now what?" to a ranked list of personal use cases I can try this week. Step 1. Gather context before asking questions. Use only tools and information I have already made available. Look for: - My role, organisation, customers, or market - Recent files, projects, repositories, or meeting notes - Repeated work patterns in connected mail, calendar, CRM, or project tools - Anything I have pasted into this conversation Summarise what you found in two short lines. Do not make up missing details. If there is too little to work with, ask only: 1. What is your role? 2. What do you produce most weeks that takes hours? 3. What do you keep pushing to Friday? Step 2. Propose five to eight candidate use cases. For each candidate, include: - A short title that starts with a verb - What it would do - Why it fits my actual work - Effort: small, medium, or large - Visible value: small, medium, or large Put the use case with the best chance of a satisfying win this week at the top. Step 3. Ask three questions to sharpen the list. 1. What surprises me on the list? 2. What task is missing? 3. Which result would feel most useful by Friday? Step 4. Pick one. Label it START HERE THIS WEEK. Write a complete prompt for the first version using only confirmed context, then end with one follow-up prompt for the second iteration.
