AI Assistant Basics for Business Owners
Lesson 2: Start a Safe Business Chat
Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Separate safe practice data from sensitive business data.
- Start a chat with task, context, and output format.
- Ask the AI to mark unknown facts.
Lesson Content
Plain-language view: before you hand a note to anyone, ask "would I be comfortable if this note were seen by the wrong person?" If the answer is no, do not paste it into a general AI chat for practice.
Safe practice data can include fictional customer names, placeholder numbers, public website copy, generic business descriptions, non-sensitive product notes, or a message you rewrite after removing private facts.
Start with this pattern:
Task: Help me with [business task].
Context: Here is the safe background you may use: [non-sensitive facts].
Output: Return [email, checklist, table, summary, plan].
Unknowns: If a fact is missing, write "unknown" instead of guessing.
