Learn how to work effectively with AI as your partner
Start with a basic request, then refine and improve through follow-up prompts. Ask AI to "make it more specific," "add examples," or "consider this additional context."
Example: "Make the tone more professional" → "Add specific metrics" → "Format as a presentation outline"
Use AI as a brainstorming partner. Generate ideas together, build on each other's suggestions, and explore different perspectives on the same problem.
Technique: "Let's brainstorm 20 ideas, then you pick the top 5 and I'll add my favorites, then we'll combine the best elements."
Explain your domain expertise to the AI, then collaborate on tasks within your field. The AI can help structure your knowledge and suggest new approaches.
Approach: "Here's how things work in my industry... Now help me apply this framework to [new situation]."
Ask AI to challenge your ideas, find weaknesses in your plans, or argue from different perspectives. This helps strengthen your thinking and find blind spots.
Prompt: "Play devil's advocate and find potential problems with this plan. What am I missing?"
Break complex projects into smaller pieces. Let AI handle research, data organization, or first drafts while you focus on strategy, creativity, and final decisions.
Workflow: AI does initial research → You review and prioritize → AI creates framework → You add expertise and personalization
Ask AI to analyze problems from multiple viewpoints - customer, business, technical, ethical, etc. This creates more comprehensive solutions.
Example: "Analyze this decision from the perspectives of customers, employees, shareholders, and society. What would each group care about?"
Create multiple versions of content with AI, then mix and match the best parts. Treat AI as a collaborator who can quickly generate alternatives.
Method: "Create 3 different versions of this proposal, each emphasizing a different benefit. I'll combine the strongest elements."
Use AI to help you learn new skills or domains. Have conversations where AI teaches you concepts, then test your understanding by explaining back to the AI.
Pattern: AI explains → You ask clarifying questions → You summarize understanding → AI corrects and adds depth
