Jasper can churn out blog introductions, video script hooks, or even ridiculous marketing ideas from any of its many templates. But where the tool really shines is in the document editor. There, you can instruct Jasper to produce any kind of content asset using inputs called commands or prompts.
The quality of the inputs you feed generative AI tools like Jasper determines the quality of the outputs you get. But AI prompting has a learning curve. So I put together a collection of Jasper prompt templates that cover a variety of marketing use cases. These prompts should also work for other AI writing tools and chatbots, but I created them—and tested them out—with Jasper in mind.
Jasper AI prompt tips
Before we dive in, remember that these prompts still require some tweaking to match your specific needs. Here are some things to keep in mind as you're adjusting the prompts to match your requirements.
Specificity is key. Be clear about the type of content you're looking for. Use verbs (action words) to instruct the AI, then define a structure and provide a direction, so the tool can produce relevant outputs.
Always add context. You can provide examples to help the AI understand the type of content output you're looking for. You can also show it positive outputs to emulate and negative ones to avoid. The more context you can provide, the better results you'll get.
Be patient. Jasper may require multiple attempts to get the result you're looking for. Analyze its output, adjust your inputs, and re-run the prompts until you arrive at the best results.

Here are some prompt examples.
