Three things that matter

Give context

Tell AI who you are and what you're working on. The more background you give, the better it understands your needs.

Be specific

Vague prompts get vague results. Say exactly what format, length, or tone you want—AI reads instructions literally.

Try again

First drafts are starting points. Refine based on what AI returns—it's a conversation, not a command.
