Claude Cowork Prompts — Free AI Prompts for M365 Copilot

Build a competitive intelligence brief for [COMPETITOR/MARKET]. Team members will contribute observations from: customer conversations, product usage, news articles, and industry events. As insights come in: (1) Categorise by theme (product, pricing, go-to-market, strengths, weaknesses), (2) Rate confidence level of each insight (confirmed, likely, rumour), (3) Identify patterns across contributions, (4) Summarise as a one-page competitive brief with actionable recommendations.

Help our team co-author a [DOCUMENT TYPE — strategy document / project brief / policy / report] about [TOPIC]. Start with an outline based on these goals: [GOALS]. As team members add their sections and comments, integrate their input, maintain consistent tone and formatting, resolve any conflicting suggestions, and flag areas where more input is needed.

Help resolve a disagreement about [TOPIC]. Each person states their position. Identify common ground, name the core disagreement, present both sides, propose compromises.

We have a [SEVERITY — P1 / P2] incident: [INCIDENT DESCRIPTION]. Help coordinate: (1) Maintain a live timeline of events as team members report updates, (2) Track who is working on what, (3) Log all actions taken and their results, (4) Draft stakeholder communications at [INTERVAL — every 30 minutes / hourly], (5) When resolved, compile a post-incident report with timeline, root cause, and prevention actions. Keep everything factual and time-stamped.

We are in a meeting about [TOPIC]. As we discuss, track: (1) Decisions made (with who decided and rationale), (2) Action items (with owner and deadline), (3) Open questions that need follow-up, (4) Points of disagreement and how they were resolved. Present as a clean table the whole team can see and verify during the meeting. Update in real time as we discuss.

We need [NUMBER] team members to review this [DOCUMENT TYPE]. As each reviewer adds their comments and suggestions: (1) Track all feedback by reviewer, (2) Identify where reviewers agree (easy fixes), (3) Highlight where reviewers disagree (needs discussion), (4) Suggest a resolution for each conflict based on the document goals, (5) Create a clean revised version incorporating the agreed changes.

Facilitate a blameless post-mortem for [INCIDENT]. Each person adds their timeline. Merge into unified timeline. Identify contributing factors. Define prevention actions.

Facilitate a 2-hour design sprint for [CHALLENGE]. Structure: (1) Problem definition (10 min), (2) How Might We questions (15 min), (3) Rapid ideation — 8 ideas in 8 minutes, (4) Dot voting, (5) Solution sketching (20 min), (6) Critique, (7) Next steps. Keep energy high.

Facilitate a retrospective for our team covering [SPRINT/PERIOD]. Structure: (1) Collect input in three columns — What went well, What could improve, What to try next, (2) Group similar feedback into themes, (3) Let the team vote on the most important items (each person picks their top 3), (4) For the top-voted items, define a specific action, owner, and success measure, (5) Compare with last retro actions — did we follow through? Keep the tone constructive and forward-looking.

Facilitate a strategy alignment session for our team on [STRATEGIC QUESTION — e.g. Should we expand into market X?]. Structure: (1) Have each team member state their position and reasoning, (2) Identify areas of agreement and disagreement, (3) Present the strongest arguments for each position, (4) Propose a compromise or hybrid approach, (5) Draft a decision with rationale that the team can endorse. Remain neutral and ensure all voices are heard.

We are brainstorming [TOPIC/CHALLENGE] as a team. Help us by: (1) Capturing every idea from the team without judgment, (2) Grouping similar ideas into themes, (3) For each theme, list pros, cons, and feasibility, (4) Summarise the top 5 ideas ranked by impact and effort, (5) Create an action plan for the winning idea. Team members will add ideas in the document — organise them as they come in.

Help us build a team charter. Each person contributes to: (1) Mission, (2) Values (2 each), (3) Working agreements, (4) Decision-making process, (5) Conflict resolution, (6) Success measures. Claude: synthesise, identify conflicts, propose unified charter.

Help our team build a knowledge base for [TOPIC/PROJECT/PROCESS]. Team members will add their expertise, tips, and procedures. As content comes in: (1) Organise into logical categories and sections, (2) Standardise formatting and tone, (3) Cross-reference related entries, (4) Flag gaps where we need more documentation, (5) Create a table of contents. Make it easy for a new team member to navigate.

Help us design a [DURATION — half-day / full-day] workshop on [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE — new hires / leadership / cross-functional team]. Collaboratively build: (1) Agenda with time blocks and facilitator notes, (2) 3-4 interactive exercises with instructions and materials needed, (3) Discussion questions for each section, (4) Pre-work for participants, (5) Evaluation survey questions. Team members will contribute their expertise for different sections.
