Hartz AI publishes five free prompt libraries for UK SMEs and charities, covering business strategy, marketing, operations, people and HR, and sales.

What Is an AI Prompt Library and Why Does Your Team Need One?
A prompt library is a curated collection of ready-made instructions you paste into AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to get useful business output. Instead of staring at a blank screen wondering what to type, your team picks the prompt that matches their task, fills in the placeholders and gets a result in seconds.
Most UK small businesses waste hours experimenting with generic AI queries. Employees who use generative AI tools well save two to three hours a week, according to the McKinsey Global Institute's analysis of the economic potential of generative AI. A prompt library is how a small team captures those hours, because each prompt is designed for a specific business outcome rather than a vague request.
Craig Hartzel, founder of Hartz AI, developed these libraries after training over 500 professionals across UK organisations and seeing the same prompt mistakes repeated in every workshop. The wider prize is well documented: the UK Government's AI Opportunities Action Plan estimates that AI could add around £400 billion to the UK economy by 2030 - but only if ordinary teams can actually use the tools.
A good prompt library removes the guesswork - but the real time savings come when you match prompts to the specific business functions your team handles every day. That is why our AI training programmes include prompt library access alongside structured learning.
How Can AI Prompts Help UK Small Businesses Save Time?
ChatGPT prompts for small business owners work best when they are specific and structured. Vague prompts produce vague answers. Our AI prompts for SMEs UK teams use a tested format: context, task, format, constraints. This structure means your marketing assistant, operations lead or HR manager gets usable output first time.
Small businesses without dedicated AI teams benefit most from structured prompts. Only around one in three UK workers has had any formal AI guidance from their employer, according to the CIPD's research on people and AI, which is why a shared prompt library often moves adoption further than another tool licence. Time savings multiply when every department has prompts tailored to their daily work - from campaign briefs to policy drafts.
One caution before you roll prompts out widely: check what you are allowed to paste in. The Information Commissioner's Office sets out UK expectations in its guidance on AI and data protection, and our AI Governance for SMEs: A Practical Guide turns that into rules a smaller organisation can actually follow. Our hands-on AI workshops teach your team how to customise these prompts for your specific processes.

AI Prompts for Business Strategy & Planning
Prompts for business planning, business models, revenue growth, expansion and innovation. Written for founders and directors who need a structured first draft of a plan, a model or a pricing decision. Start here if you are setting direction rather than running day-to-day campaigns.
Preview & UnlockAI Prompts for Marketing Teams
Prompts for SEO, content, social media, email and campaign planning, including supporter journeys for charities. Built for small marketing teams and for the people who do marketing alongside another job. Covers the brief-to-draft stage rather than publishing.
Preview & UnlockAI Prompts for Operations & Workflows
Prompts for workflows, project plans, risk registers and standard operating procedures. Aimed at operations leads who need documented process instead of knowledge that lives in one person’s head. Useful when you are writing a process down properly for the first time.
Preview & UnlockAI Prompts for HR & Team Management
Prompts for recruitment, performance reviews, learning and development, engagement and internal communication. Designed to help you draft and structure people work faster. A named person still makes every hiring and performance decision — the prompts prepare the paperwork, not the judgement.

Prompts for cold outreach, follow-ups, discovery calls, proposals and account management. Built for founders and small sales teams who write their own messages. Covers the preparation and drafting around selling, not automated sending.
