Best Practices in AI Prompting: Steps to Maximize Your AI Session Time Slot usage

✅ Prompting Best Practices

1. Be Specific, Not Vague

Instead of saying:

“Write something about marketing.”

Try:

“Write a 150-word product description for an AI workspace targeting freelance content creators. Make it persuasive and benefit-focused.”

🎯 Why it works: Specificity helps the AI lock onto your intent, tone, and audience.

2. Use Role-Based Prompts

Frame your prompt as if the AI is a professional:

“Act as a UX designer. Suggest 3 layout improvements for an AI tool dashboard focused on ease of access.”

🎯 Why it works: Role-based cues guide the AI to adopt domain expertise.

3. Set Format Expectations Early

Want a list, table, or email? Say it!

“Summarize this article in a 3-bullet list.”
“Turn this into a cold outreach email with a CTA at the end.”

🎯 Why it works: Avoids extra time spent reformatting.

4. Break Big Tasks into Small Chunks

Rather than:

“Help me build a marketing strategy.”

Try:

“Step 1: Suggest 3 target customer segments for an AI tool café. Wait for my reply before moving to step 2.”

🎯 Why it works: Keeps the session structured and avoids overwhelming the AI.

5. Feed the AI Context

If you’re continuing a previous task:

“Based on the persona we discussed earlier (Raj, 22, freelancer), generate a 3-line Instagram caption for our AI café.”

🎯 Why it works: Context ensures continuity and coherence.

6. Use Comparisons and Examples

“Write a blog intro like HubSpot would—but for an AI productivity tool.”
“Format this like a Notion how-to guide.”

🎯 Why it works: Influences tone, language, and style more accurately.

7. Refine Outputs Using Follow-Ups, Not Redos

Don’t stop at first drafts:

• “Make it more casual.”

• “Add urgency.”

• “Summarize it in under 100 words.”

🎯 Why it works: You mold the content progressively—like shaping clay.

8. Save Time with Prompt Templates

Have go-to formats ready for:

• Blog outlines

• Ad copy

• Code reviews

• Summarization

• Email drafts

🎯 Why it works: You reduce typing time and keep sessions productive.

9. Timebox Your Session

Break your 1-hour access into focused blocks:

• 10 mins – Plan & set goals

• 30 mins – Generate & refine content

• 20 mins – Format, finalize, or switch tools
