In real work
Instead of typing 'write a flyer,' Dana's first prompt asked for a half-page flyer for Saturday's PTA bake sale, 9 to noon, friendly, with big dates.
In the illustration
A blank ticket fills in three lines: what (a flyer), who it's for (PTA families), details (Sat 9 to noon, big dates). It slides along the rail to the kitchen window and the bell rings.
Help me write a better prompt for your AI assistant: I want a flyer for Saturday's PTA bake sale. Ask me three questions first about who it's for, the details and the tone.
