1,000 Prompts for Everyday Life

Most people type one flat line into an AI assistant, get a flat answer back, and walk away convinced the tool has nothing more to offer. 1,000 Prompts for Everyday Life argues the opposite: the problem was never the AI. It was the question. This is a practical, no-nonsense guide built around twenty-five chapters of real life — organizing a cluttered garage, planning a trip on an actual budget, writing the email you’ve been avoiding, preparing for the conversation you’d rather skip. Each chapter hands you forty ready-to-use prompts, plus the reasoning behind them, so you’re not just copying words but learning how to ask.

What sets this book apart is its honesty about AI’s limits. Marcus Cue doesn’t treat artificial intelligence as an oracle — he treats it as a well-informed friend who needs context to be useful, and who can still be confidently wrong. Threaded through every chapter are prompts built to protect your own judgment: asking the AI for its assumptions, for the weakest part of its own advice, for what a skeptical friend would say. If you’ve ever closed an AI chat feeling like it barely helped, this book will show you exactly what you were missing — and hand you the habit that fixes it for good, one clear question at a time.
