GitHub Copilot Prompt for Writing a Business Proposal
GitHub Copilot, the coding assistant developed by GitHub and OpenAI, is not limited to code generation. With its advanced natural language understanding capabilities, it becomes a formidable ally for writing structured professional documents, including business proposals. By using Copilot Chat directly in your code editor or via the dedicated interface, you can generate complete proposals adapted to your industry and prospect profile. The major advantage lies in Copilot's ability to leverage the context of your open files: client data, history of similar projects, or existing templates. By properly structuring your prompt, you get a professional first draft covering all expected sections — from the executive summary to pricing terms — while maintaining a persuasive business tone. This approach significantly reduces writing time, from several hours to a few minutes for a usable draft that you just need to customize and refine.

Why this prompt works
This prompt works thanks to a comprehensive structure that guides Copilot section by section, eliminating any ambiguity on the expected format. The variables in brackets allow for immediate customization while providing enough context for the model to generate relevant and coherent content. The explicit instruction on tone and client-benefit orientation forces the model to produce conversion-focused text rather than a simple technical description.

Expected Output
You get a complete 2 to 4-page business proposal, structured into clearly identified sections with professional titles. The document includes a compelling executive summary, an empathetic reformulation of the client need, a precise detail of deliverables with a timeline, and a pricing table ready to be filled with your actual figures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can GitHub Copilot really write professional-quality business proposals?
Yes, GitHub Copilot excels at generating structured text when the prompt is sufficiently detailed. However, you should treat the output as a solid first draft that requires review and customization. Quantitative data (pricing, timelines, actual client references) must be verified and adjusted manually. Copilot's strength lies in its ability to quickly produce a coherent structure and a smooth sales narrative that you can then refine.
How do I effectively customize the proposal generated by Copilot for each prospect?
The key is to provide as much specific context as possible in your prompt: prospect name, industry sector, needs expressed during previous conversations, and the history of the business relationship. You can also open files in your editor containing meeting notes or CRM exports — Copilot will leverage these open files to enrich its response. After generation, focus your review on rephrasing the client's needs and the social proof elements, as these are the sections with the greatest commercial impact.
What's the best approach for structuring pricing in a proposal generated with Copilot?
Explicitly ask Copilot to present the pricing in a table format with multiple tiers (e.g., essential, premium, custom). This price anchoring technique is a proven sales practice. Specify in your prompt whether you want to display prices before or after tax, whether any add-ons should appear separately, and if a payment schedule is needed. Copilot will generate the table structure, which you then only need to populate with your actual prices — never leave AI-generated fictitious amounts in your final document.

Stable Diffusion Prompt for Fixing Text
Fixing text in AI-generated images remains one of Stable Diffusion's major challenges. Whether it's a store sign, a poster title, or integrated text in an illustration, diffusion models have historically tended to produce warped characters, missing letters, or illegible words. With the evolution of models like SDXL and SD 3.0, as well as the use of ControlNet and inpainting tools, it's now possible to correct these typographic errors directly within the generation workflow. This page provides you with optimized prompts to guide Stable Diffusion in producing sharp, legible, and correctly spelled text within your images. You'll discover how to formulate your instructions to maximize text rendering accuracy, which parameters to adjust based on the type of text desired, and how to combine multiple techniques to achieve a professional result. Whether you're a graphic designer, content creator, or developer, these prompts will save you considerable time by reducing the iterations needed to get perfectly integrated text in your visual creations.

GitHub Copilot Prompt for Translating a Text
GitHub Copilot, the AI development assistant created by GitHub and OpenAI, is not limited to code generation. Integrated directly into your editor (VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim), it can also serve as a powerful translation tool for your multilingual projects. Whether you need to translate localization files (i18n), code comments, technical documentation, or user interfaces, Copilot understands your project context and produces translations consistent with your existing terminology. Its main advantage lies in its ability to maintain source code formatting intact — HTML tags, interpolation variables, JSON keys — while translating only the textual content. This editor-integrated approach avoids back-and-forth with external tools and ensures your translations respect your codebase's technical conventions. Here is an optimized prompt to fully leverage GitHub Copilot in your translation tasks.
