Prompting Basics

Better inputs, better outputs.

What it is

Prompting is how you talk to AI. Good prompts include role (who the AI is), context (what it needs to know), task (what to do), and format (what the answer should look like).

Why it matters for your business

The same tool gives 10x better results with a 60-second better prompt. This is the single highest-leverage skill for your team.

Where to start

  • Draft prompts once, reuse them across the team as templates
  • Attach a sample of your voice so AI writes like your brand
  • Ask for the answer in a table, checklist, or one-page brief
