The ability to specify the target audience for an AI agent's output is crucial for improving tone and structure, reducing the need for extra prompting.
I’ve built 80+ AI agents and spent 10,000 hours prompting. These 4 rules never fail. Here’s what works for me The 4 Golden Rules of Prompting (works for text, code, images, video everything) ▢ Specific Goal ↦ What do you actually want? ▢ Context ↦ What does it need to know to help? ▢ Role ↦ Who should it pretend to be? ▢ Examples ↦ What should the output look like? Use these 3 frameworks: Saves you time and gets consistently sharp outputs - everytime 1./ R.A.C.E. 🔹Role → Tell AI who to be 🔹Action → What you need it to do 🔹Context → Key details or data 🔹Expectation → Say exactly how you want the output E.g. "Act as an experienced BA. Analyse this CSV of support tickets. Focus on onboarding issues. Give me 5 top pain points with quotes and prioritisation." 2./ R.I.S.E. 🔹 Request – Set the expert persona 🔹 Input – Give it the raw data 🔹 Scenario – Describe the situation 🔹 Expectation – Ask for actionable outcomes E.g. "Draft a user story. Input: Acceptance Criteria. Scenario: Under 8 points. Expect: Story + edge cases." 3./ C.O.A.T. 🔹 Context – Background info 🔹 Objective – Your end goal 🔹 Actions – How AI should think 🔹 Tasks – What you want back E.g. "We need a GTM plan to get 1000 paid users in 3 months. Pick channels, budget, and create a week-by-week plan." Prompting is the highest ROI skill you can learn. It’s the new literacy. Don’t overthink it. Just test, tweak, and talk to it like a smart intern. Even asking AI to make your prompt better is a prompt. Try this: "You're a world-class prompt engineer. Optimise this prompt for clarity and results: [Paste Prompt]" You’ll be shocked at the improvement. Your turn: What’s your go to prompting hack? Share below. 📌Roles will keep changing. Skills are what last. I’m running a free webinar on how to stay relevant in the AI era.
