Write a recommendation or testimonial you're happy to put your name to

You've been asked for a testimonial and boilerplate feels fake. Get one from real results you've seen.

Updated 17 Oct 2026

The prompt · ChatGPT

Write a recommendation or testimonial.

Who/what for: [person or small service]
Real results I've seen: [list]
Relationship: [details]
Length: [short / paragraph]
I allow them to use my name: [yes/no]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A sendable testimonial.
2. A shorter quote-length version.
3. Hype to remove.
4. A sentence on how they may use it.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, quotes or what the other person thinks. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. person or small service: a short note you already have. list: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
