Iterate and refine instead of starting over

Treat AI conversations as a back-and-forth process. If the first response is not quite right, give feedback: "Make it shorter," "Use simpler language," or "Focus more on the cost comparison." Build on what the AI gave you rather than rewriting your prompt from scratch.

Why It Works

AI tools retain conversation context. Each follow-up narrows the output toward exactly what you need, which is faster and more effective than crafting a perfect single prompt.

Tips

• Say what is wrong with the current output, not just what you want
• "More like X, less like Y" is a powerful refinement pattern
• Save prompts that work well for tasks you repeat often
