Example prompt

"Write a 1,200-word thought leadership article for our CEO to publish on LinkedIn and industry publications targeting enterprise IT leaders. Topic: 'Why Most AI Implementations Fail (And How to Beat the Odds).' The article should: open with a compelling hook using recent data on AI project failure rates; present an original framework or perspective on the root causes of AI implementation failures (go beyond obvious answers like 'lack of data' or 'insufficient budget'); include 2-3 real-world examples or case studies illustrating key points; provide actionable recommendations that IT leaders can apply to their own AI initiatives; position our company's approach subtly without being promotional; and close with a forward-looking perspective on the future of enterprise AI adoption. Use an authoritative but accessible tone, incorporate relevant statistics and research, and ensure the piece offers genuine value rather than thinly veiled product marketing."
