Decoded Futures Prompt Cookbook V.2

A free, no-code recipe book of practical AI prompts built for nonprofit teams. Turn existing reports, events, and materials into slide decks, web pages, plain-language translations, social copy, and repeatable workflows. Every recipe includes a privacy badge so you know what stays on your computer, what goes public, and what connects to a vendor account.

Why I recommend it: Free to use. Built by Decoded Futures (a TechNYC program). The recipes are framed for nonprofit work, but the same patterns work for job searches, career content, and small-business tasks.
