The one-sentence prompt that makes AI 10x more useful
Add this to the end of any prompt: “If anything is unclear or you need more context, ask me questions before answering.” That’s it. Without it: AI guesses what you mean. Gives generic answers. You iterate 5 times to get it right. With it: AI asks: “Are you looking for X or Y?” “What’s your experience level?” “What format do you need?” You answer. First response is actually useful. Works for: research, writing, problem-solving, learning. One sentence. Saves 10 back-and-forth messages.
