Read the opening before you decide.

Not a sample that stops mid-sentence — the whole first section, as
printed, the title of every prompt in the library, and the guide to the trade.

Prompt #1.

Printed exactly as it appears in the book. The yellow parts
are the blanks you fill in — there are thousands across the 150 prompts, and
they are why this works on your trade rather than a generic one.

COPY THIS — Prompt #1 · Your permanent profile

Paste into the custom instructions / profile box: “I’m an executive assistant supporting [SENIOR LEADERSHIP / TWO DIRECTORS / A C-SUITE EXEC] at a [SIZE] company in [INDUSTRY]. Standing rules: (1) I never give you real names of my executive, colleagues, clients, or my company — everything I describe is generic or in [BRACKETS], so never ask me for identifying details. (2) Never invent facts, dates, times, numbers, or commitments; anything I didn’t state stays as a [BRACKET] for me to fill in. (3) Anything drafted for my executive’s voice is headed DRAFT — FOR [EXEC]’S REVIEW. Writing style: warm, professional, brief, plain English, no exclamation points, no corporate filler.”

The questions people actually ask.

Do I need to pay for ChatGPT or Claude to use this book?

Not yet. The free tiers of both tools will carry you through this entire book’s TRY IT NOW exercises and your first few weeks of real use. You’ll know it’s time to pay (about $20/month) when you hit the free tier’s daily limits during a normal workday — that’s the signal the tool is earning its keep. Chapter 11 covers what the money buys, and where a company-provided Copilot or Gemini fits in.

Is this book going to tell me AI is coming for my job?

No. It takes the opposite position, and says so on page one: it is a good tool for words, it does not do your job, it does the writing around your job. The book's own last line on it is “this book will not tell you AI is magic. It’s a power tool. It kicks. We’ll show you where — including the two places an assistant absolutely cannot afford a slip: your employer’s confidential information, and your executive’s name.” You can read the whole opening, About the Article Someone Forwarded You, free: 2,200 words, no sign-up.

What is actually in the 150 prompts?

Eight groups: Setup & Voice (1–15), Correspondence (16–40), Calendar & Meetings (41–65), Travel & Events (66–85), The Exec Partnership (86–105), Career & Visibility (106–120), Getting Ahead (121–145), Admin & Momentum (146–150). Every title is listed free on the prompt page, and twelve of the prompts are printed there in full.

I have never used AI at work. Is this too advanced?

It assumes nothing. Chapter 2 is “The 30-Minute Setup” and Chapter 3 is “How to Talk to It” — the tool is set up and the one real skill is taught before anything else is asked of you. The glossary at the back explains every term the book uses.

How long is it?

It is about 30,331 words across 12 chapters, plus the 150-prompt library and the glossary; the audiobook runs 2h 29m across 20 tracks, measured from the masters on 2026-08-31. Chapters 1–3 take about an hour and everything else depends on them.
