TODAY: Prompts That Help Students Study for Exams, Decode Workplace Feedback, and Cut AI Voice for More Usable Copy

• ​Ten study prompts for exam prep: Straightforward student prompt pack covering beginner explanations, revision bullets, exam questions, study plans, active recall, flashcards, comparisons, and last-minute revision. Generic, but practical if you want a ready-made starter set for turning course material into quizzes and summaries.
• ​Decoder for vague workplace performance feedback: An XML-style prompt that translates vague manager language—like “executive presence” or “take more ownership”—into likely underlying behaviors, an urgency read, one clarifying question, and three concrete actions for the week. Useful for performance reviews and confusing feedback cycles.
• ​Three constraints that cut AI voice: Shares three reusable constraints for code/copy prompts: ban favorite “AI voice” words, forbid placeholders or skipped boilerplate, and anchor tone to a specific persona. Simple idea, but the examples are concrete enough to lift straight into custom instructions.

Kodo: Create Fully Editable Designs by Chatting with AI

Kodo generates designs you can actually edit—structured, layered outputs instead of a single flat image—so you can iterate on layout, text, and style without starting over. It’s ideal for marketers, founders, and small creative teams who need on-brand visuals fast (social posts, posters, slides), but still want real control over the final result.
