AI Tip of the Day

Hey there!

Welcome to your AI Tip of the Day Newsletter.

Make AI Set the Standard First

Most prompts say: “Do the thing.”

Smarter prompts say: “Define what ‘good’ looks like—then do the thing.”

That shift alone changes everything.

Think about it… If you don’t define success, AI will guess. And guessing is where weak outputs are born.

The One Idea

Don’t ask AI to create first. Ask it to decide what excellence looks like first.

When AI defines success criteria before answering, the result is:

More focused

More relevant

Way easier to use immediately

You’re not making it complicated. You’re giving it a target.

Copy & paste this 👇

PROMPT:

Before creating the final answer, define what a great result looks like for this request. List the key goals, audience considerations, and success criteria you’ll use. Then produce the final output in clear, practical language that meets those criteria.

Example (Real-World)

Instead of asking:

Write an email to promote my small business.

Ask this:

Before creating the final answer, define what a great promotional email looks like for a small local business. Include the goals, audience assumptions, and what would make this email effective. Then write a friendly, clear promotional email targeting local customers.

Same AI. Totally different outcome.

Why? Because it wasn’t guessing anymore—it was aiming.

Why This Matters

The real question isn’t Can AI do this? It’s Did I define what “done right” actually means?

This approach helps you:

Get usable results faster

Avoid vague, generic outputs

Think more clearly about your own goal

You’re not just prompting. You’re coaching.

Quick Win

After the response, follow up with this:

PROMPT:

If this result were judged harshly, what would be the top reason it might fall short—and how would you tighten it?

That one question turns “pretty good” into “ready to use.”

So… what’s stopping you from trying this on your very next prompt?
