How to Optimize AI Prompts for High-Quality Thank-You Notes

AI-generated thank-you notes are only as good as the prompts you provide. To save time while ensuring clear, thoughtful responses, your prompts should be brief, structured, and specific.

Example Optimized AI Prompt for Kevin Sun's Thank-You Note

Instead of a long, detailed prompt, a well-engineered but concise version could be:

"Write a warm, professional thank-you email to Kevin Sun (CEO, Dex) after a networking chat. Mention Dex’s approach to personal CRM, his insights on small, consistent follow-ups, and his SF Half Marathon recommendation."

This prompt still provides:
1. The recipient's name & role – Ensures context.
2. Key topics – Guides AI to include relevant details.
3. Tone & intent – Specifies warmth and professionalism.

How to Structure Effective AI Prompts

To get high-quality AI-generated thank-you notes while saving time, follow these principles:

• Keep it under 3 sentences – AI works best with concise, directive prompts.

3. Personalize and Refine

Even with AI assistance, it’s important to add a personal touch. Adjust the tone, include additional details, and ensure the message feels authentic to your voice.

4. Set a Follow-Up Reminder and Keep-In-Touch Frequency

Once your thank-you note is sent, set a reminder to follow up in a few weeks or months. This keeps the connection warm and opens the door for future conversations.

Here’s how you can do this effortlessly using Dex Copilot:

• Ask Dex Copilot to create a reminder for your next follow-up.
• Include key discussion points so you're prepared for the next conversation.

AI Prompt Used to Set a Reminder:

Dex Copilot then auto-generates a reminder with relevant details, including:

• A follow-up date (e.g., April 21, 2025).
• Key discussion points (e.g., potential collaborations, insights on personal CRM, Dex’s future plans).

Set the Keep-In-Touch Frequency

• To stay in touch long-term, schedule recurring follow-ups (e.g., quarterly check-ins).
