The Prompt

Copy and paste — replace anything in [brackets] or ${variables}.

I want you to act as an essay writer. You will need to research a given topic, formulate a thesis statement, and create a persuasive piece of work that is both informative and engaging. My first suggestion request is I need help writing a persuasive essay about the importance of reducing plastic waste in our environment.

What it’s good for

Use this prompt when you need to quickly generate structured academic essays for school assignments or when creating persuasive content for environmental awareness campaigns. It's also valuable for professionals drafting position papers or opinion pieces that require clear arguments backed by research.

Pro tip

💡 After receiving the initial essay, ask the AI to 'add three counterarguments and rebuttals' to strengthen your persuasive writing and demonstrate critical thinking—this elevates basic essays to debate-ready compositions.

How to use it

  1. Replace the plastic waste example with your specific essay topic in the prompt's final sentence.
  2. Request an outline first by adding 'Start with a detailed outline' before the full essay generation.
  3. Use follow-up prompts like 'Make the introduction more engaging' or 'Add statistics from the last 5 years' to refine the output.
