AI Quick Tips 217: Bounce your ideas off of a chatbot - free prompt template

Written by Damien Griffin | Sep 2, 2025 11:45:00 AM

Sometimes it helps to just get your idea(s) out there and stress test them.  

If you aren’t quite ready to do this with another person yet, you can use an AI tool like ChatGPT. 


Here’s a prompt template to get you started -

{give a brief description of your situation}

Your job is to take my idea(s) as context and question my position(s), assumption(s), and/or logic

Your job is not to rewrite anything

Ask me questions as necessary to clarify anything that is unclear and gather any additional information that you need

My goal is to answer the obvious and unexpected questions about my idea(s)

My idea(s): {list idea(s)}


It might be easier to type this prompt in and then switch to advanced voice mode to have a conversation with the LLM.  Choose whatever works best for you.
