Your first prompts

Stop guessing. Learn the one skill that makes everything else on this platform work.

The difference between an AI tool you give up on and one that genuinely changes how you work is almost entirely down to the prompts you write. It’s not magic, it’s a skill, and it’s a small enough skill that you can be meaningfully better at it in an hour. This session is that hour. This is aimed at anyone who has used an AI tool and walked away frustrated, or who is using one but suspects they’re getting a fraction of what it can do. If you’ve never written a prompt at all, perfect - we start at the beginning. If you’ve been prompting for a while but feel like you’re guessing, you’ll leave with the structure you’ve been missing. By the end of the 60 minutes you will: • Know the four levers that change every prompt: specificity, context, format, and iteration. • Have written prompts that handle a real task you actually need done. • Be able to debug a bad output - read what went wrong and fix the prompt rather than starting over. • Have a small library of prompt patterns you can reuse and adapt forever. How the session runs: 15 minutes on why prompts work the way they do - what the model is actually “reading.” Then we go hands-on: you write prompts for real tasks (writing, summarising, analysing, planning), and we iterate them together until each one produces output you’d actually use. We close on the common failure modes and how to recognise them quickly. Bring your laptop with an AI tool open. That’s it.
