Make Better Prompts
These three key insights can accelerate anyone's AI mastery. Here are three game-changing tips:
1. Master the CREATE Method for Powerful Prompts
The CREATE method is an intuitive framework that stands for:
Context: Set the background and situation
Roles: Define who the AI should embody
Examples: Provide samples of what you're looking for
Audience: Specify who the output is for
Task: Clearly state what needs to be done
Evaluate: Include criteria for success
2. Build Your Prompt Library
Building a prompt library is a crucial but often overlooked practice. Most users rely on AI for a consistent set of 10-15 tasks. Creating similar prompts repeatedly wastes valuable time.
Starting a dedicated document (whether in Word, Google Docs, or Notion) to store effective prompts is essential. Refining them based on results leads to continuous improvement and increased efficiency.

3. Embrace Iteration
AI is a powerful assistant, but it can't read minds.
The first prompt should be viewed as a starting point - expect the initial output to be heading in the right direction but requiring refinement.
Think of prompting as a dialogue rather than a one-and-done command. The best results often come through thoughtful iteration and clarification.
