About Prompting

Most bad AI answers come from vague requests, not bad tools. The guides here cover the habits that fix that: giving context, saying what the answer should look like, asking the AI to question you first, and following up instead of starting over.

You’ll also find prompts for checking the AI’s work, because a confident answer isn’t always a correct one. Every prompt is copy-paste ready and works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, including on their free plans. For prompts built around specific jobs and tasks, see AI for Work.

A simple test for any prompt: would a smart new colleague know exactly what to do with it? If not, add the missing context, the audience and the format you want before you hit send.
