Quick check
Guess first, no penalty. Which message to the AI will get the more useful answer?
A prompt is the message you send to an AI. A short prompt gets a general answer. A useful one has three parts:
- Task: what you want done. Start with an action word: write, explain, fix, list.
- Context: facts the AI can't know. Who you are, what happened, who will read it.
- Format: what the answer should look like. How long, how many points, which language.
