PROJECT UPDATE — RUN THIS PROMPT IN YOUR AI TOOL OF CHOICE
Zero → Frontier — free, ungated, no attribution required

HOW TO USE THIS: Paste in your raw project notes/status and get a
clean status update in the format your stakeholders actually want —
without spending the usual 20+ minutes formatting it yourself.

I need a project status update. Here's the raw information:

PROJECT: [name]
WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST UPDATE: [messy notes are fine]
WHAT'S BLOCKING PROGRESS, IF ANYTHING: [list it honestly]
WHAT'S NEXT: [rough plan]
AUDIENCE: [e.g. "my manager," "the client," "the whole team"]

Turn this into a status update with:
1. Overall status: On track / At risk / Blocked (pick the honest one
   based on what I told you — don't default to "on track" if what I
   described sounds risky)
2. What's done since last update (2-4 bullet points, specific not vague)
3. What's blocking, if anything, and what's needed to unblock it
4. What's next
5. One sentence a busy reader could read alone and understand the
   whole status from

Match the tone to my audience — more detail and context for the team,
more concise and outcome-focused for a client or executive.
