Starting off my new series: Tip Tuesday!
AI tip: Don’t just ask AI for an answer, give it a role, context, and a clear output format.
Instead of:
“Summarize this report.”
Try:
“You’re an investment analyst. Summarize this report in 5 bullets: key takeaways, risks, opportunities, important numbers, and what to watch next.”
Better inputs → better outputs. Small prompt changes compound quickly, especially when work grows across multiple sessions.
Bonus: finish off the prompt by saying, “ask me questions so that we can get on the same page.” These questions are sneakily helping the model think about things it would have missed, not actually for you.
We’ll hit a wide range of tips, some days will be more advanced, others will be quite basic. Stay tuned!
