Send clients a crisp weekly status update in five minutes
Decisions the client owes you go at the top, so they stop being the reason you're behind.
A sketch of what you'll get back.
Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
Claude and ChatGPT open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
Write this week's status update for my client, [CLIENT TYPE, e.g. the COO of a logistics firm]. Project: [PROJECT NAME]. Milestones and dates: [PROJECT MILESTONES]. My rough notes on the week: [WEEKLY NOTES]. Format: a one-line overall status of on track, at risk or off track with a short reason; decisions I need from them, with a date for each; what we finished this week; what's coming next week; and risks with what I'm doing about each. Keep it under 200 words, plain and confident, with no jargon. Don't hide bad news, but pair it with a next step. Give me a subject line too.
Paste your rough notes on the week. You get a short status update with progress against milestones, decisions needed from the client, risks and next week's plan, in a format busy sponsors read.
