One Hack a Week #12: The 3-part prompt
Hey - quick one this week.
Most AI prompts fail because they're missing three things. Before you ask, tell it:
- Context - who you are and what's going on
- Constraint - how long, what tone
- Format - what the output should look like
Example: "I run a small design studio. A client is two weeks late on a payment, and I want to keep the relationship warm. Write a friendly 90-word reminder email with one clear ask and no guilt-tripping."
One prompt, one usable email, no rewrites.
Try it on your next email. See you next week.
