Try Look at the answer Change your question Try again

ABOUT 5 MINUTES

What’s for dinner?

1. Try a broad question

What should I make for dinner?

2. Look at the answer

Does it use ingredients you have? Does it say how long it will take?

3. Add a few details and try again

I have chicken, potatoes and carrots. Give me an easy dinner for two that takes less than 45 minutes.

4. Compare

Which answer is easier to use? You gave the AI ingredients, a number of people, and a time limit. Those details help it narrow the answer. Still check that its suggestion makes sense.

Your turn: Change the ingredients or the time limit and ask again.

You’ve finished this practice step.

Once you have compared the answers and tried changing one detail, you’re ready to move on. Your answer doesn’t have to be perfect.

Next: try a work message
Optional: try another exercise or explore more resources

ABOUT 3 MINUTES

Make an explanation clearer

First, ask:

What is a spreadsheet?

Read the answer. If it uses unfamiliar words, ask:

Explain a spreadsheet using a grocery shopping list as an example. Use everyday words and no more than four sentences.

Which explanation would you share with a friend? Try asking for a different example if it still feels confusing.
