KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Start with a clear, simple question.
2. Add specifics—tone, length, style, numbers—so the AI can nail your target.
3. Give context: tell the model who the answer is for and why you need it.
4. Iterate: tweak your wording and resend if the reply isn’t right.
5. Match the model to the task—GPT‑3.5 for speed, GPT‑4 for deeper reasoning.
6. Anyone can do this; no special lingo required.
