24 Mistral Prompts for Business & Work (2026)

Help me write a difficult email. Situation: [WHAT HAPPENED]. Recipient: [WHO, and our relationship]. Outcome I want: [GOAL]. Keep it under 120 words, professional and calm, own my part without over-apologizing, and end with a clear next step. Give me two versions — one warmer, one firmer — and a subject line for each.

Write a polite but firm reply declining this request: [PASTE REQUEST]. I want to say no clearly, keep the relationship warm, and offer one small alternative if reasonable. Under 90 words, no groveling, no false promises to "revisit later" unless I mean it. Give me the email plus a one-line version for chat.

Read this email thread and cut through it: [PASTE THREAD]. Tell me what is actually being decided, where people agree and disagree, what is blocking a decision, and the single question I need to answer to move it forward. Then draft a short reply that names the decision and proposes a next step. Do not add positions no one took.

Turn these rough bullets into a clean status update for [AUDIENCE, e.g. my manager / the team]: [PASTE BULLETS]. Structure: what shipped, what is in progress, what is blocked (and what I need), and what is next. Keep it skimmable, lead with the headline, and flag risks honestly without burying them. Under 200 words.

A customer sent this complaint: [PASTE MESSAGE]. Draft a reply that acknowledges the specific problem, takes appropriate responsibility, states exactly what we will do and by when, and offers [what you can offer]. Empathetic but not sycophantic, under 130 words. Then give me a one-line internal note on what we should fix so this stops recurring.

Turn this meeting transcript into structured notes: [PASTE TRANSCRIPT]. Output three sections: Decisions made, Action items (a table with Owner, Task, Due date), and Open questions. Do not invent details, and flag anything left unresolved. Then draft a two-line recap email I can send to attendees.

Build an agenda for a [30]-minute meeting about [TOPIC] with [WHO]. Desired outcome: [OUTCOME]. Allocate minutes per item, mark each as decide / discuss / inform, put the decision items first, and add a "if we have time" section at the end. Include one line on what attendees should prepare beforehand.

Here is everything on my plate this week: [PASTE LIST]. Act as a sharp chief of staff. Sort by impact and urgency, name the three things that actually move the needle, say what to delegate or drop, and lay it out as a day-by-day plan. Call out anything that looks like busywork or a meeting that could be an email.

You are a delivery lead. Turn this into a one-page project brief: [DESCRIBE PROJECT]. Cover the goal in one sentence, scope (in and out), milestones with rough dates, dependencies, the main risks, and the people who need to be involved. Use Work mode to reason it through. Output clean sections ready to paste into a doc.

I need to have a difficult conversation with [WHO] about [ISSUE]. Help me prepare: the outcome I want, my opening line, the two or three points to make, the likely objections and a calm response to each, and where I can compromise versus where I cannot. Keep it as a one-page prep sheet, not a script.

You are a pragmatic strategy advisor for a [COMPANY TYPE / STAGE]. We are deciding whether to [DECISION]. Context: [KEY FACTS AND CONSTRAINTS]. Use Work mode to reason it through, then lay out the options, the main trade-offs, the biggest risk, and what you would do and why. Be blunt about weaknesses. Output a one-page brief: recommendation, rationale, risks, next step.

Build a SWOT analysis for [MY BUSINESS] competing against [COMPETITOR]. Use web search for the opportunities and threats and cite each external claim with a link and date. Keep every point specific — no generic filler — and end with the single move I should make first and why. Output a four-quadrant table plus the closing recommendation.

Help me think through pricing for [PRODUCT / SERVICE]. Current price: [X]. Costs and margin: [DETAILS]. Propose three pricing options (e.g. hold, raise, restructure into tiers), and for each give the rationale, the likely effect on revenue and churn, and the main risk. Assume [KEY CONSTRAINT]. Output a comparison table, then your recommendation.

Run a pre-mortem on this plan: [PASTE PLAN]. Imagine it is [SIX MONTHS] later and it failed. List the most likely reasons it failed, ranked by probability, then for each give one concrete thing I could do now to prevent or reduce it. Be specific and a little pessimistic — I want the failure modes, not reassurance.

Read the attached market report and give me: the headline takeaways in 5 bullets, the numbers that matter with the page references, what it means for [MY BUSINESS], and any claim I should double-check independently. Note where the report is opinion versus evidence. Keep it to one page.

Write a standard operating procedure for [PROCESS]. Audience: [WHO WILL FOLLOW IT]. Include: purpose, when to use it, prerequisites, numbered steps with the exact action per step, common mistakes to avoid, and who to escalate to. Write it so a new hire could follow it without asking questions. Output in clean Markdown with a short checklist at the end.

Write a job description for a [ROLE] at [COMPANY / STAGE]. Include a two-line pitch for why the role matters, core responsibilities, must-have versus nice-to-have skills, and what success looks like at 90 days. Keep the tone human, not corporate, and avoid buzzwords. End with a one-line inclusive note. Under 400 words.

Create an interview guide for a [ROLE]. Give me 6 questions that test the real skills (mix behavioral and practical), what a strong versus weak answer looks like for each, and a five-point scoring rubric so different interviewers rate consistently. Avoid trivia and gotchas. Output the questions, the answer signals, and the rubric as a table.

Design a 30-60-90 day onboarding plan for a new [ROLE] on my [TEAM]. For each phase give the goals, who they should meet, what they should learn, and one small win they should aim for. Keep it realistic for someone ramping up, and flag what I (the manager) need to prepare before day one. Output as three phased sections.

Use web search to compare [VENDOR A], [VENDOR B], and [VENDOR C] for [USE CASE]. Evaluate on price, key features, integrations, support, and lock-in. Cite current pricing with links and dates. Build a comparison table, flag any red flags in reviews, and recommend one for a [BUDGET / TEAM SIZE] buyer. Note what you could not verify.

Help me build a simple [12-month] budget model for [BUSINESS / PROJECT] in Google Sheets. Inputs: [REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS, FIXED COSTS, VARIABLE COSTS]. Give me the sheet structure, the formulas for each row, and how to add a best/expected/worst scenario toggle. Explain what each formula does and where it could break. Keep it maintainable by a non-finance person.

Here are my invoices/receipts: [UPLOAD FILES]. Using OCR and the code interpreter, extract vendor, date, category, and amount into one table, total by category and by month, and flag any duplicate or unusually large item. Preserve exact numbers, and mark anything you could not read as "unclear" rather than guessing. Output the table plus the summary totals.

Read the attached contract and explain it in plain English. List the key obligations on each side, the term and renewal/termination rules, payment terms, liability and IP clauses, and anything unusual or one-sided I should push back on. Quote the relevant clause for each point. This is not legal advice — flag where I should consult a lawyer.

Draft a monthly investor update from these inputs: [KEY METRICS, WINS, LOWLIGHTS, ASKS]. Structure: a one-line TL;DR, metrics with the change versus last month, wins, challenges (be honest), and specific asks. Keep it confident but straight — no spin on the bad news. Under 400 words, ready to send. Then suggest one metric I am not tracking but should.
