The task
Build me an automation design for supplier price comparison. Input trigger: ingredient quotations. Final output: comparison and savings. Tools available: POS, inventory, procurement, scheduling, delivery platforms. Cover the trigger, required fields, AI instruction, decision logic, human checkpoints, fallback path, stored data and ingredient cost measurement. Nothing a small SME cannot run on its own.
Replace “ingredient quotations” and the listed systems with what you actually run.
New here? How the four prompts work together
They are one sequence, not four options. Run them in order on the same piece of work, feeding each answer into the next.
Create
Paste your real data. You get a first draft. Most people never need to go further than this.
Analyse
Paste that draft back in. It tells you what is weak, missing or wrong before a customer sees it.
Optimise
Paste the draft again with what Analyse found. You get a stronger version.
Automate
Only once the output has been good five times running. This is the one people reach for too early.
Nothing forces you through all four. A good Create draft that you edit yourself is a finished job. The longer version.

Data & privacy
If you paste customer or staff details into an AI tool, your business stays responsible for them under the PDPA. Replace names and numbers with initials or references first.
Using customer data with AI tools in Malaysia covers what to check with any provider before you paste.
For this website, it works differently.
Nothing you type here is sent to us or to an AI model. The prompts are static content, and the copy button works directly inside your browser.
