Ask Your First Question
A question or instruction sent to AI is commonly called a prompt. You do not need advanced technical knowledge. Clearly state what you want the AI to do and provide the information it needs.
A simple formula
A useful prompt often includes four parts:
- Task: What should the AI do?
- Context: Who is it for, and where will it be used?
- Requirements: What must be included or avoided?
- Format: Do you want a paragraph, list, table, or copy-ready template?
An overly short prompt
Write an advertisement for me.
This lacks context, so the answer may be too general.
A clearer prompt
Write a Vietnamese Facebook advertisement for a nail salon in Westminster. Promote 20% off pedicure services this week. Use a friendly tone, keep it under 100 words, and include a call to book an appointment.
When the result is not right
You do not need to start over. Continue with a follow-up instruction such as:
- Make it shorter.
- Use a more natural tone.
- Remove overly promotional wording.
- Add a specific example.
- Rewrite it for a beginner.
What should you avoid sharing?
Do not enter PINs, bank information, medical records, confidential documents, or another person's private information into a public AI tool.
