5 Habits That Instantly Improve Your AI Prompts

The difference between a mediocre AI answer and a great one is usually the prompt. Here's how to write better ones.

Getting great results from AI is mostly about the prompt. Five habits that help.

Give it a role

“You are an experienced editor…” sets the tone and expertise level of the answer.

Add context

The more relevant detail you provide, the less the model has to guess.

Specify the format

Ask for a table, a list, or a word count. You’ll get output you can actually use.

Show an example

One good example of what you want beats three paragraphs of description.

Iterate

The first answer is a draft. Ask it to refine, shorten, or change tone.
