If you don’t have the idea of what you’re going to build, then how do you expect AI to know that?

Stop trying to give vague and general prompts to AI and expect it to perform better.

The solution is so simple, but most of us ignore it.

50% of this problem can be fixed by providing the right context.

Here’s what I mean:

Bad Prompt: “Write about technology.”

Good Prompt: “Write a 300-word blog post about how AI automation is changing small business operations in 2025. Include 3 specific examples. Write in a conversational tone for business owners.”

The difference? Context + Constraints + Clear Outcome.

AI models are pattern-matching machines.

They need clear patterns to follow.

When you say “make it better” – better how?

When you say “create content” – what type?

When you say “help me code” – which language, what problem?

The fix is simple:

Be specific about what you want.

Provide examples when possible.

Mention your target audience.

Set clear constraints (length, tone, format).

Give background context.

Your AI output quality = Your Prompt Quality.

AI is a tool, not a mind reader.
