Benefit

Get a useful answer in few messages, and know how to check it. This is where the method used throughout the course appears: SAY, DISCUSS, DO, CHECK, NOTE.

By the end, you will be able to

  • write a complete request: the goal, the context, the format and the success criteria;
  • ask the AI to rephrase your request and to ask you questions before it produces anything;
  • correct an answer without starting over;
  • check a piece of information, and ask “Where does this information come from?”;
  • know what your tool keeps from one conversation to the next, and what is temporary.

Demonstration

A vague request (“Help me with the weekend”) rewritten live with its 4 elements: the two answers are compared side by side.

Exercise and result

5 reusable requests, tested on your real needs, and the story of a case where the AI got it wrong and how you spotted it.

The 5-step method is introduced here, then practiced everywhere. The method is the same with ChatGPT or Claude: the tool matters less than the way you work.
