  • Microsoft's recent layoffs and studio closures have affected thousands since early 2024.
  • Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing, suggested using AI prompts to help those laid off cope with job loss.
  • He provided examples of AI prompts for career planning, resume help, networking, and emotional clarity.
