Better conversations.

Practical ways to get more useful help from AI.

One small tweak can make your next conversation clearer, kinder, and more useful.

Six small tweaks to try

Choose one idea for your next conversation. Keep what helps. Leave the rest.

Ask for three clarifying questions before it answers.

Try this: “Before you answer, what do you need to know?”

Offer a sample of the tone or structure you want.

Try this: “Use this example as a guide to my voice, not something to copy.”

“Before you answer, what do you need to know?”

Share your goal, audience, and useful background.

Try this: “I’m writing for new students. Keep it welcoming and easy to act on.”

Say what works and what needs to change.

Try this: “Keep the friendly tone. Make it shorter and add a clear next step.”

Thoughtful use encouraged.

Protect private information.
Check important claims.
Keep your judgment.

Ask for bullets, a checklist, or a short draft.

Try this: “Give me a five-step checklist, with one sentence per step.”

Verify facts and sources before relying on an answer.

Try this: “Which claims should I verify? Point me to original sources.”
