Key ideas in Making AI Work for You
- Personas act as a filter for vocabulary and tone
- A specific role provides implicit context that a vague task lacks
- A prompt needs a persona, a clear objective, and specific rules
- Missing one of these ingredients leads to generic or irrelevant results
- Constraints narrow the search space for the AI, leading to more tailored results
- Vague prompts result in 'average' or generic responses
- Identifying the three essential ingredients of a high-quality prompt
- The necessity of constraints in preventing generic AI output
- AI needs explicit 'buffer time' or it will stack tasks back-to-back
- Hard deadlines and fixed appointments must be identified as non-negotiable
- AI can match task complexity to peak energy windows
- Categorizing tasks by 'mental load' helps the AI sequence them logically
- Identifying the specific constraints needed to prevent an unrealistic AI-generated schedule
- Applying AI's ability to prioritize tasks based on energy levels rather than just time
- Fixed commitments must be established before flexible tasks can be slotted in
- The AI needs the 'messy' data first before it can apply logic to resolve conflicts
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 Making AI Work for You 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.
