The difference between generic AI output and actually useful marketing copy is almost always the prompt.
Vague input → vague output. Specific input → something you can actually use or edit.
All 40 prompts below use {{clipboard}} as a placeholder — paste your product/context directly. Anything in [brackets] is where you add specifics. I've organized them by task so you can jump to what you need.
