Give AI a brief it can actually follow

Turn a broad request into a reviewable assignment.

Build a reusable task pack

Save the brief, examples, and checks that make a recurring task work.

Ask for the working: chain of thought and reasoning models

Asking a model to reason step by step improved accuracy on multi-step tasks. Newer reasoning models do this on their own. Either way, written reasoning is output to check, not proof.

3 min reading · Practical

Use AI to challenge an argument

Turn simulated opposition into source-linked questions you can investigate.
