If you have been frustrated with AI, you are not alone.

Most people treat AI like a Google search box:

One-liners in, disappointment out.

AI is not a mind reader. It’s a pattern follower.

If you give it vague inputs, it will follow the pattern and give you vague results.

Here is what actually works:

A simple, structured framework for writing prompts that guide the AI like a trained assistant.

✅ 1. Role – Tell it who to “be.”

AI responds better when it knows who it’s pretending to be.

Example: “You are a business analyst supporting a software project rollout.”

This sets the lens for how it should think and speak.

✅ 2. Context – Feed it the backstory.

AI has no memory of your world. You must bring the relevant facts.

Example: “The client is a dental clinic struggling with missed appointments and poor follow-up.”

This prevents generic or off-base responses.

✅ 3. Task – Be clear about what you want.

You need to be specific not just “write something,” but what and why.

Example: “Your task is to create a root cause analysis summary in plain language.”

Clarity here = better output, faster.

✅ 4. Format – Guide the structure.

Left to its own devices, AI might ramble. Tell it how to respond.

Example: “Present this as bullet points with bold subheadings and optional templates.”

This improves usability, especially if you're pasting it elsewhere.

✅ 5. Confirm & Clarify – Let it ask questions first.

AI does better when it can clarify assumptions.

Example: “Before writing, ask any questions to confirm the task.”

This reduces errors and teaches the AI to double-check its understanding.
