How to use it

  1. Fill in the fields or tap a suggestion. Leave out names, addresses and other personal data.
  2. Copy the finished prompt into a tool of your choice.
  3. Read the reply out loud. Does it sound like you? Then swap the sign-off for your own.

Works in these tools

Prompts work in many chat and generator tools. This selection comes from our catalog; prices as shown on the tool page.

Why does this work?

Thanks, a clear no and an optional alternative are the three parts of a good refusal. The word limit keeps the reply from sounding like a justification.

Tips

  • If you might be interested later, ask for a line such as “Happy to hear from you next time”.
