Leveraging AI effectively requires providing it with the right context, similar to onboarding a new assistant. One common issue is that users often don’t give enough background information, leading to subpar results.
To address this, use a simple yet powerful prompt: ‘I would like to [describe your task]. Could you please ask me any questions necessary to gather the context you need to complete this task effectively?’
For example, if you want to create a social media strategy, the AI might ask about your primary goals, target audience, platforms, content types, competitors, and key metrics. This ensures the AI has all the necessary details to perform the task at a high level.
Another example could be writing a LinkedIn post about AI for nonprofits, where the AI might inquire about your role, specific areas of interest, examples, target audience, tone, length, and particular AI technologies. By using this prompt, you can significantly enhance the AI’s performance across various tasks.
