Why don't you write a few sentences where you're not sure which one to use. Usually "prompt" is used in acting/performance, in computers, and perhaps a parent prompting a child to use "the magic words" (please, thank you).

"Prompt" can be used in business contexts when you are expecting a response. "I haven't heard from Jim. I'll prompt him." But "remind" or "reminder" is much more common. Especially when writing to someone. "This is a reminder that I still need a response on this issue."
