Still arguing with AI over a bad first draft? Try these 4 tips
Published 1 week ago
Description
Do you still have a prompt formula saved somewhere, maybe an acronym from an Instagram reel that promised better answers from AI? You paste it in, swap a few words, hit send, and what comes back still misses the mark.
Years of typing a few keywords into a search box have shaped how we talk to AI, and that habit might be costing you time and patience.
In this How I AI episode, Neo and I look at why prompt formulas took off, what has changed since, and how to brief AI so you get better work back with far less back and forth.
What you’ll learn:
- Why prompt formulas became so popular, and why they matter far less now
- What AI memory changes about the way you brief it
- The old search habit that quietly works against you
- A better way to give AI the background it needs
- How to get AI to question your idea, not just your draft
- Practical AI tools for productivity and focus
- Real-world AI workflows used by high performers
- How to use AI at work without burning out
- Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load
