Practical Prompting: Getting Better Answers Out of AI
What to do when the basics stopped being enough
You have learned to write a decent prompt and the answers are still not right. This course is what comes next: how to work out WHY an answer is wrong rather than rewriting it from scratch, how to steer with the second message instead of starting again, how to break a big job into steps AI can actually do, and how to keep the prompts that work so you stop rebuilding them. It ends honestly, with the one thing better wording cannot fix.
What you'll be able to do
- Tell the four reasons an answer comes back wrong, and fix the right one
- Steer a nearly-right answer with a follow-up instead of starting over
- Show AI what you want when describing it is not working
- Break a job too big for one prompt into steps that each succeed
- Turn a prompt that worked into one you can use again next week
- Recognise the ceiling that better wording cannot get you past
