Models don't need motivation, they need a job description. You tell Meerkat what you're trying to make; it asks the things a senior editor would ask before touching the keyboard, then writes the prompt for you in the format the model actually prefers.

have Meerkat write me a prompt that turns my raw meeting notes into a 3-bullet exec summary for my CFO. she hates fluff.
Got you. Your CFO is the audience, not you — so the prompt has to ban hedging, rank by dollar impact, and cap each bullet at one line.
draft promptcfo · 3 bullets
You are summarizing meeting notes for a CFO who has 90 seconds.
Rules:
- Exactly 3 bullets. Each one ≤ 18 words.
- Lead each bullet with the dollar impact, the deadline, or the decision owner — whichever is loudest.
- No hedging words: "potentially," "might," "could," "exploring."
- If a number isn't in the notes, say "TBD" — never invent one.
Notes:
