AI Quick Tips 219: How to use AI Tools more intentionally

AI Quick Tips

One of the main reasons that you are attracted to AI tools like ChatGPT is because of the time that you can save by using them.  

I think that if you spend slightly more time than normal with the tools, you can get MUCH better results.  


Here is a checklist to follow to see if this works for you

(I’ll use ChatGPT as the example but this can apply to many other AI tools) 

  • Decide how you want to use the ChatGPT
    • Give you the answer
    • Work with you to get the answer
    • Teach you how to get the answer yourself
  • Decide what output you want
  • Ask - “what input will give me the output that I want?”
  • Create your prompt
  • Wait for the model to produce output
  • Compare the output that you wanted to the output that you got
  • If they don’t match
    • Use follow-up prompting to get a better response (point out what it got right and wrong)
    • Look for things in your input prompt that are ambiguous
    • Look for missing context in your input prompt
  • Repeat until they do match or they are close enough that you can finish the task without the AI tool


This looks like a lot.  And it can be in the beginning.  Once you make this process normal, it will go by really quickly and your results will be much better.
