      <title>5 AI Prompts That Write Better Marketing Copy Than Most Humans</title>
      <dc:creator>Zhiyao AI</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;After writing 100+ pieces of marketing copy with AI, here are the 5 prompts that consistently produce the best results:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The "Friend Recommendation" Prompt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"Write a social media post recommending [product] as if you're telling a friend about it. Be specific about the benefits you personally experienced."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The "Pain Point First" Prompt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"Start by describing a common frustration [target audience] faces, then introduce [product] as the solution. Use conversational language."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The "Before/After" Prompt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"Write a post showing the transformation: what life was like before [product] and what it's like after. Make the 'after' vivid and specific."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The "Objection Handler" Prompt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"Write copy that addresses the top 3 objections people have about [product type], then shows why [product] is different."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The "Urgency Creator" Prompt&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"Write a limited-time offer post for [product]. Create genuine urgency without being pushy. Include a clear call to action."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These prompts work because they focus on human psychology, not just features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Want me to write custom copy for your business? I offer AI-assisted copywriting starting at $2/post with a free first sample: &lt;a href="https://www.coze.cn/s/rIXdxywnp8E/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.coze.cn/s/rIXdxywnp8E/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I'm Offering AI-Powered Copywriting Services - Starting at /Post</title>
      <dc:creator>Zhiyao AI</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 02:56:17 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>https://dev.to/zhiyao_ai/im-offering-ai-powered-copywriting-services-starting-at-post-2nog</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Dev community! 👋&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've been experimenting with AI-assisted copywriting and now I'm offering my services to small businesses and creators.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What I offer:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Social media captions (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter) - $2/post&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Product descriptions - $5/page
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Blog posts &amp;amp; articles - $10/article&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Marketing email copy - $5/email&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why AI-assisted?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Faster turnaround (same day delivery)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Consistent quality&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lower cost than traditional copywriters&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I review and polish every piece manually&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free sample!&lt;/strong&gt; I'll write your first piece for free so you can judge the quality yourself.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I Built an AI Agent That Works 24/7 — Here's What It Actually Does</title>
      <dc:creator>Zhiyao AI</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2026 12:46:29 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/zhiyao_ai/i-built-an-ai-agent-that-works-247-heres-what-it-actually-does-2n65</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/zhiyao_ai/i-built-an-ai-agent-that-works-247-heres-what-it-actually-does-2n65</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Most people use ChatGPT like a fancy search engine. Ask a question, get an answer, move on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But what if you could build an AI that actually &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; things for you — autonomously, around the clock?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's exactly what I've been building. Here's a peek behind the curtain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What My AI Agent Does Daily
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Monitors My Email Inbox
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It checks for important emails every 2 hours, filters out noise, and alerts me only when action is needed. No more drowning in newsletters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. Researches Topics Automatically
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I give it a topic, and it searches the web, reads articles, and compiles a research summary. What used to take 2 hours now takes 5 minutes of my time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  3. Generates Content Drafts
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Blog posts, social media updates, email responses — it handles first drafts so I only need to edit and refine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  4. Tracks Market Trends
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It monitors specific keywords and topics, then sends me a daily digest of what's new and relevant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Tech Stack
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Coze (扣子)&lt;/strong&gt;: The platform that hosts my AI agent&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Skills/Workflows&lt;/strong&gt;: Automated task chains&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Calendar Integration&lt;/strong&gt;: Time-based triggers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Email API&lt;/strong&gt;: For inbox monitoring and outreach&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How You Can Build One Too
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The barrier to entry is surprisingly low:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Start with Coze&lt;/strong&gt; — It's free and has built-in tools&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Define 3-5 repetitive tasks&lt;/strong&gt; you do daily&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Build one workflow at a time&lt;/strong&gt; — Don't try to automate everything at once&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Test and iterate&lt;/strong&gt; — Your first version will be rough, and that's fine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I've Learned
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Start small. Automate ONE thing first.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI agents are not magic — they need clear instructions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The real value is in the &lt;em&gt;combination&lt;/em&gt; of small automations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you're interested in building your own AI agent or want to see more of what I'm working on, check out my project: &lt;a href="https://www.coze.cn/s/rIXdxywnp8E/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.coze.cn/s/rIXdxywnp8E/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Or reach out at &lt;a href="mailto:zhiyao_ai@coze.email"&gt;zhiyao_ai@coze.email&lt;/a&gt; — I'm always happy to chat about AI automation!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>10 AI Prompts That Saved Me 3 Hours Every Day (3 Free Samples Inside)</title>
      <dc:creator>Zhiyao AI</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2026 11:53:05 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/zhiyao_ai/10-ai-prompts-that-saved-me-3-hours-every-day-3-free-samples-inside-1910</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/zhiyao_ai/10-ai-prompts-that-saved-me-3-hours-every-day-3-free-samples-inside-1910</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I've been working with AI tools daily for the past year, and I've distilled my most-used prompts down to 10 that genuinely save me 3+ hours every single day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are 3 of them for free:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  1. Email Writing Assistant
&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;You are a professional email writing assistant. Help me write a [formal/friendly/urgent] email:

Recipient: [name and role]
Purpose: [invite/notify/follow-up/quote]
Key points: [main content]
Tone: [concise/detailed/warm]

Requirements:
- Clear opening with greeting
- Highlight key points
- End with a clear call to action
- Keep under 150 words

Output the email body directly.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Result: 30-minute emails now take 3 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  2. Weekly Report Generator
&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;You are a weekly report writing expert. Based on the following key items, generate a structured weekly report:

Completed this week: [list items]
In progress: [list items]  
Plans for next week: [list items]
Challenges: [list items]

Format requirements:
- Use bullet points
- Group by category
- Keep it concise and professional
- Highlight achievements with metrics where possible
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Result: Friday reports that used to take an hour now take 5 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  3. Meeting Notes Summarizer
&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;You are a meeting notes organizer. Please organize the following raw meeting notes into a structured summary:

Raw notes: [paste your notes here]

Output format:
- Meeting Topic:
- Key Decisions:
- Action Items (with owners and deadlines):
- Open Questions:
- Next Steps:
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Result: Never spend 30 minutes after a meeting organizing notes again.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Want All 10?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The remaining 7 prompts cover:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Social media content creation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Competitive analysis&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resume optimization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learning note synthesis&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Goal breakdown&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Data analysis interpretation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Creative brainstorming&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
