ai prompts for work: Microsoft’s Satya Nadella reveals the 5 AI prompts to boost productivity and transform your day

Many young workers, especially Gen Z, fear losing jobs because AI is replacing entry-level positions. CEOs also feel pressure—over three-fourths of U.S. CEOs said they worry about losing their jobs, according to a Harris Poll for Dataiku.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said he now uses GPT-5 on Copilot every day as part of his normal work routine. He explained that AI has added a “new layer of intelligence” across all his apps and helps him with productivity. Nadella revealed that he uses AI for tasks like making meeting summaries, writing project updates, checking progress, and organizing work, as reported by the Fortune.

Satya Nadella AI prompts for productivity

He shared five exact prompts that he uses regularly to stay productive.

Prompt one: “Based on my prior interactions with [/person], give me 5 things likely top of mind for our next meeting.”

Prompt two: “Draft a project update based on emails, chats, and all meetings in [/series]: KPIs vs. targets, wins/losses, risks, competitive moves, plus likely tough questions and answers.”

Live Events

Prompt three: “Are we on track for the [Product] launch in November? Check eng progress, pilot program results, risks. Give me a probability.”Prompt four: “Review my calendar and email from the last month and create 5 to 7 buckets for projects I spend most time on, with % of time spent and short descriptions.”Prompt five: “Review [/select email] + prep me for the next meeting in [/series], based on past manager and team discussions.”

CEOs using AI in daily work

Other top CEOs are also using AI every day in their work. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he uses Perplexity and ChatGPT as learning tools and calls AI his daily tutor. He asks AI to explain topics first in very simple words like for a 12-year-old and then in more advanced detail.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he uses ChatGPT for emails, document summaries, and even to help him learn how to be a father. Altman joked that parents have raised babies for a long time without AI, but for him, ChatGPT has been very useful. Experts say the wording of prompts matters less now because AI has improved, but clear communication is still very important, as per the report by Fortune.

Anthropic calls this the “golden rule of clear prompting”—if someone else cannot follow your prompt, the AI will likely be confused too. Anthropic said, “One thing that people will do is they’ll put ‘think step by step’ in their prompt, and they won’t check to make sure that the model is actually thinking step by step because the model might take it in a more abstract or general sense,” as per the reports.

Maggie Vo, head of user education at Anthropic, said AI itself can teach people how to prompt better and save them from memorizing fixed templates. The main point is that AI is no longer just for workers—top leaders like Nadella, Huang, and Altman are showing how smart prompts can improve productivity and daily life, as per the report by Fortune.
