Beginner10 minchat / a doc

What you'll need

  • The role and their first tasks
  • Any AI chat assistant

The steps

  1. Note what you'd want them doing by the end of week one.
  2. Paste the prompt and fill in the brackets.
  3. Share the plan with them before day one.
  4. Check in at the end of each day that first week.

The prompt

Build a simple first-week onboarding plan for a new hire so they get productive fast without me hovering.

Role: [job title]
My business: [what you do]
What I'd love them doing by end of week one: [goals]
Tools/accounts they'll need: [list]

Give me a day-by-day plan for week one: what to set up, what to learn, who to meet, and a small win for day one. Keep it welcoming, not overwhelming. Add a short "what good looks like by Friday" note.

Write a welcome note

Write a short, warm welcome message I can send them before their first day so they feel set up and excited.

What you'll get

A welcoming, day-by-day first week that ramps a new hire quickly — plus a warm welcome note to send ahead of day one.

If it's not quite right

  • Part-time hire? Add "Spread this over the first two weeks instead."
  • Remote? Add "Make it work fully remote — note where a call beats a doc."
