AI Prompts Handbook: A Practical Collection of Modern, High-Quality Prompts for Writing, Research, Learning, Business, Productivity, and Everyday Problem Solving

Completely revised and expanded for modern AI assistants, this second edition of the AI Prompts Handbook gives you the practical frameworks and ready-to-use templates you need to get reliable, high-quality results from artificial intelligence every time. Most people learn to prompt through trial and error, leading to frustrating, generic, or unpredictable results. This book takes a different approach. Instead of treating prompting like a hidden trick or a search query, it treats it like writing a clear, professional brief for a capable colleague. Written by Hassan Sherif Hassan, this handbook equips you with the mental models, advanced techniques, and structured libraries needed to turn vague ideas into precise requests. What’s New in the Second Edition? Completely Revised & Expanded: Every prompt from the first edition has been re-evaluated and rewritten from the ground up, with every single prompt now structured on its own dedicated card. New Chapter on Reasoning & Chaining: Learn how to get careful thinking from AI, break large jobs into manageable steps, and verify output. New Chapter on Documents, Data, and Images: Practical guidance and prompts for working safely with PDFs, spreadsheets, screenshots, and photographs.
