Stop Asking AI to “Help.” Give It a Job To Do
If your AI outputs feel mid, it’s probably because your prompts are too vague.
Don’t just ask AI to “help.”
Assign it a role with a mission. Give it constraints and guidelines.
Here are 5 prompts that’ll assign high-leverage roles to your AI and help elevate your outputs 10x:
