Lesson Content
Plain-language view: talking to AI is not one question and done. It is more like coaching a helper. You ask, inspect the work, then give clearer instructions.
Useful follow-up questions:
What did you assume?
What information is missing?
What should I verify before using this?
Make this shorter without removing the next step.
Rewrite this for a customer, then rewrite it for an employee.
Turn this answer into a checklist.
Explain this like I am new to the topic.
These follow-ups are the bridge between basic AI use and better prompt writing.
