WorkBuddy prompt library for Malaysian teams
A WorkBuddy prompt is not a magic phrase — it is a clear instruction: the outcome you want, the source it should use, and the format it should deliver. This library gives you eighteen prompts built for Malaysian businesses, organised by the job you are doing. Copy one, replace the bracketed parts with your own details, and run it.
Every prompt works on the international edition. If you are setting up for the first time, download the international edition, follow how to set up, and keep an eye on the free credits as you practise.
Key takeaways - A good prompt names three things: the outcome, the source, and the format. - Replace every
[bracketed]placeholder with your own detail before you run it. - Ask for one deliverable per prompt rather than a list of five jobs. - Save prompts you reuse; WorkBuddy's automation tasks can run the weekly ones for you. - Keep the authorised folder narrow so the agent reads only what the task needs.

Report writing
Monthly management report
text
Using the files in this folder, write a monthly management report for [company name].
Cover revenue versus target in MYR, key wins, and risks. Keep it to one page,
use plain English, and save it as a document. Leave [confirm figures] markers
where a number needs my sign-off.
How to adapt: point the folder at the month's exports and swap the sections for the ones your board expects.
Client-ready proposal
text
Draft a client proposal for [client name] for [scope of work]. Include an
overview, deliverables, a timeline, and pricing in MYR exclusive of SST.
Keep the tone professional but warm. Save as a document I can review.
How to adapt: for a bilingual client, add "and provide a Bahasa Malaysia version" at the end.
Event or campaign after-action report
text
Summarise the performance of [event/campaign] from the files in this folder.
Report leads, spend in MYR, and cost per lead. End with three things we should
change next time. One page, saved as a document.
How to adapt: replace the metrics with whichever ones your marketing team reports on.
Summarising documents
Contract and agreement summary
text
Read the agreement in this folder and give me a one-page plain-English summary.
List the key obligations of each side, any dates or deadlines, and any clause
I should ask a lawyer about. Do not give legal advice — flag issues for review.
How to adapt: use this for supplier contracts or tenancy agreements; always follow up with a lawyer on flagged points.
Meeting notes to decisions
text
From the meeting notes in this folder, extract the decisions made, the owner of
each action, and the deadline. Present it as a table. Flag anything that was
discussed but not decided.
How to adapt: works on rough notes in English, Bahasa Malaysia or Chinese — ask for the output in the language you need.
Folder of mixed files, one summary
text
Summarise every file in this folder into one page: what each file is, and the
single most important point in it. Group related files together.
How to adapt: useful before a big meeting when the source material is a scattered pile of PDFs and spreadsheets.
Research
Supplier comparison
text
Research [product/service] suppliers suitable for a Malaysian SME. For each,
note what they offer, where they are based, and anything about pricing or
minimum order. Present as a table and cite your sources.
How to adapt: add your budget or sector to narrow the results; check the cited sources yourself.
Market snapshot for a new location
text
Give me a short market snapshot for opening [type of business] in [city in
Malaysia]. Cover the local customer base, main competitors, and three risks.
Keep it factual and cite sources. Flag anything you could not verify.
How to adapt: use it for a first-look brief, not a full feasibility study.
Regulatory starting point
text
What licences or registrations might a [type of business] need in Malaysia?
List them with the issuing body and a source. This is a starting point for my
own checks, not a definitive answer.
How to adapt: treat the output as a checklist to verify with the relevant agency, not as final advice.
Spreadsheet cleanup
Tidy a messy export
text
Clean the spreadsheet in this folder: standardise the date format, remove
duplicate rows, and split the full-name column into first and last name. Save a
cleaned copy and tell me exactly what you changed.
How to adapt: always keep the original file and review the change log before using the cleaned version.
Reconcile two lists
text
Compare the two sheets in this folder. List the rows that appear in one but not
the other, and mark matching rows. Output a single sheet with a status column
for each entry.
How to adapt: good for matching payments to invoices, or a CRM export against a sales list.
Build a monthly summary from raw data
text
From the transactions in this folder, build a monthly summary: total in MYR by
month, by category, and by [customer/region]. Save it as a new sheet and keep
the raw data untouched.
How to adapt: verify totals against your accounting system before circulating.
Drafting replies
Customer enquiry response
text
Draft a reply to this customer enquiry. Acknowledge their question, give a clear
answer, and offer the next step. Keep it warm and short. Provide both an English
and a Bahasa Malaysia version.
How to adapt: paste in the actual enquiry and add any policy detail the reply must respect.
Payment reminder
text
Write a polite payment reminder for an invoice now [X] days overdue. State the
amount in MYR, the original due date, and a clear next step. Keep the tone
respectful and professional.
How to adapt: soften or firm the tone depending on the relationship and how overdue it is.
Follow-up after a quotation
text
Draft a short follow-up to a client who received a quotation [X] days ago and
has not replied. Reference the quotation, ask if they have questions, and offer
a call. Keep it to three sentences.
How to adapt: adjust the waiting period to match your sales cycle.
Code
Explain an unfamiliar script
text
Read the code file in this folder and explain in plain English what it does,
step by step. Point out anything that looks risky or fragile, and list the
assumptions it makes about its inputs.
How to adapt: useful for handing work over between developers or onboarding a new team member.
Write a small utility
text
Write a small [language] script that reads the CSV in this folder, [described
task, e.g. sums a column and filters rows], and writes the result to a new file.
Add comments and a note on how to run it.
How to adapt: describe the input and the exact output you want; test on a copy of the data first.
Add error handling
text
Review the script in this folder and add error handling for missing files and
malformed rows. Explain each change in a short comment.
How to adapt: pair it with a code review — treat agent-written code as a draft.
Getting more from these
The pattern behind every prompt is the same: name the outcome, the source and the format. Once you have a prompt you like, save it, and let automation tasks run the weekly ones for you. If you want prompts matched to your role, browse the agentic use cases for sales, marketing, HR, finance and e-commerce.
What makes a WorkBuddy prompt work well?
Three things: the outcome you want, the source it should use, and the format it should deliver. A prompt that names all three gets a usable finished file; one that says "write me a report" gets something generic you then rewrite yourself.
Should I ask for several deliverables in one prompt?
Generally no. Ask for one deliverable per prompt. A single job is easier to check and easier to correct. If you need five things, run five prompts — or turn the recurring ones into automation tasks.
Do these prompts work on the free plan?
Yes. All of them run on the free plan, which includes 100 credits a month plus a daily active reward. Three automation tasks are also included, which is enough to schedule the weekly ones.
Can I save prompts I reuse?
Yes — and you should. Prompts you run weekly are the best candidates for WorkBuddy's automation tasks, so the output is waiting for you rather than the other way round. See how the free credits work.
Do the prompts work in Bahasa Malaysia or Chinese?
The prompts are written in English, but WorkBuddy handles multilingual sources within one task — so you can point an English prompt at a mixed English/Bahasa/Chinese folder and ask for the output in whichever language you need.
Next step
Copy one prompt, point it at a folder, and run it on the free plan. Replace the brackets with your own details first.
