✍️ Use AI to write better

1. What a prompt is

A prompt is just the message you type to an AI like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. You write it in everyday words, the way you would text a helpful friend. The clearer your message, the better the answer.

2. The 3-part prompt recipe

1. The job: What you want done, in one sentence.
2. The details: Who it is for, what you already know, and anything to avoid.
3. The shape: How the answer should look: length, tone, or format like bullets or a table.

Here is the recipe in action:

The job

Rewrite my email asking my landlord to fix the heater.

The details

Polite but firm. It has been broken for a week and I already asked once by text.

The shape

Under 120 words, friendly tone, one clear request with a date.

Put together, you would paste this:

Rewrite my email asking my landlord to fix the heater. Polite but firm. It has been broken for a week and I already asked once by text. Under 120 words, friendly tone, one clear request with a date.

Then just reply to make it better, like "shorter" or "friendlier". The AI remembers the conversation.

3. One common mistake

Pasting a draft with only "make this better".

The AI cannot guess what better means to you. Say what to change: shorter, warmer, more confident, or easier to read.
