This audio may be AI-generated.

00:00:02.889 --> 00:00:05.728
Always verify important AI answers with trusted sources.

00:00:05.778 --> 00:00:08.617
World 2 is where AI starts to feel useful.

00:00:08.667 --> 00:00:11.506
The beginner prompt formula is: Task plus Context plus Audience

00:00:11.556 --> 00:00:14.395
plus Format plus Constraints.

00:00:14.445 --> 00:00:17.284
Task means what you want the AI to do.

00:00:17.334 --> 00:00:20.173
Context means the background information it needs.

00:00:20.223 --> 00:00:23.062
Audience means who the answer is for.

00:00:23.112 --> 00:00:25.951
Format means what the answer should look like.

00:00:26.001 --> 00:00:28.840
Constraints are the rules.

00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:31.729
Here is a weak prompt: Help me write something.

00:00:31.779 --> 00:00:34.618
Here is a better prompt: Write a friendly follow-up email for a

00:00:34.668 --> 00:00:37.507
homeowner who asked about a landscaping quote.

00:00:37.557 --> 00:00:40.396
Keep it under 120 words.

00:00:40.446 --> 00:00:43.285
Use a professional but warm tone.

00:00:43.335 --> 00:00:46.174
Do not mention internal costs, profit, margin, or markup.

00:00:46.224 --> 00:00:49.063
That prompt works because it gives the AI the job, situation,

00:00:49.113 --> 00:00:51.952
audience, format, and rules.

00:00:52.002 --> 00:00:54.841
Your practice task: improve the prompt, Tell me about AI.

00:00:54.891 --> 00:00:57.730
A strong answer is: Explain what an AI assistant is for a

00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:00.619
complete beginner.

00:01:00.669 --> 00:01:03.508
Use plain language, one everyday example, and a short 3-bullet

00:01:03.558 --> 00:01:06.397
summary.

00:01:06.447 --> 00:01:09.286
Avoid technical jargon.
