Free Emerging Tech Prompts for ChatGPT

A focused, hand-built library of emerging tech prompts for engineering and product teams. Each one is structured for an LLM - role, task, constraints, output - so you can paste it into ChatGPT or Claude and get a usable tech assessment on the first try. Use them as written, or treat them as starting points to fork for your own playbook.

Senior-grade Tech assessment

Produce a senior-level tech assessment ready to ship.

View full prompt
Act as a senior research engineer with 10+ years specializing in emerging tech for engineering and product teams. I will give you the brief; you will deliver a ship-ready tech assessment.

Brief: [PASTE BRIEF HERE].
Constraints: must be specific, measurable, and grounded in emerging tech best practice. Avoid generic advice and obvious tips.

Deliver:
1. The full tech assessment (the actual artifact, not a description of it).
2. Three sharpening notes - what you would test or improve first.
3. One contrarian angle most research engineers miss.

Ask one clarifying question only if a hard blocker remains; otherwise proceed with stated assumptions. Use plain language, no fluff, no filler. Quote evidence when citing sources.
