AI: From User to Power User
Like Duolingo, but for AI: From User to Power User. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
Free during early access · No credit card · iPhone & Android
Key ideas in AI: From User to Power User
- Vague prompts force the AI to rely on the most common patterns in its data
- Defining a persona helps set the tone and expertise level
- Lack of detail leaves too many open variables for the AI to fill in randomly
- Specifying the reader ensures the complexity level is appropriate
- Why short prompts result in generic outputs
- Identifying the three most important details for writing prompts
- Negative constraints narrow the search space
- Short prompts for simple facts
- Excluding clichés forces creativity
- Over-prompting leads to complexity
- The impact of negative constraints on output quality
- When a one-sentence prompt is the better choice
- The AI uses filler phrases like 'In today's fast-paced world'
- The AI provides a list of generalities instead of specific examples
- Start with a core command, then add context, then add specific restrictions
- Constraints act as a filter that removes unwanted 'average' responses
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives AI: From User to Power User the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
Here's what playing it feels like
A real question from this course. Take your best guess.
