Collective Intelligence
40+ AI Prompts for Team Excellence in 2025
Hi! Welcome to your daily dose of AI insights from First AI Movers. As we continue to track the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, today we have a special edition that highlights a new concept - Collective Intelligence for Team Excellence in 2025. Without further ado, let's get into it.
AI in 2025 is shifting from boosting individual productivity to empowering whole teams. In this special edition, we explore Collective Intelligence – leveraging AI prompts to supercharge team excellence. You'll discover 40+ prompts to streamline collaboration, spark innovation, and multiply your team's impact.
So far, many have used tools like ChatGPT for quick personal wins; the next frontier is collaborative AI prompting – treating AI as a team member that amplifies your organisation's collective intelligence. Forward-thinking teams already build shared prompt libraries and refine them jointly, seeing more consistent creativity, faster decisions, and a knowledge base everyone can draw on. This guide presents 40+ prompts across eight key business functions (from Marketing and HR to Product and Strategy), each with an example outcome, to inspire your own team's prompt library – your collective Prompt Garden.
