What would you like AI to help you do?

01 / See a worked example · 3 minutes

A confident answer needs evidence.

You want to offer a weekend meal-preparation service. You ask AI to help you describe the offer.

Illustrative AI draft · Contains an unsupported claim

Busy parents in your neighborhood will pay $120 a week for your meals. You could have 20 customers in your first month.

What to notice: AI has proposed a customer, a price, and a sales forecast. None has been established by customer conversations or purchases.

See a more useful prompt

Help me turn a weekend meal-preparation idea into three assumptions I can test. Separate what I know from what I am guessing. Draft five neutral questions for potential customers. Do not invent demand, prices, or results.

A better prompt can improve the draft. You still need to check the output against evidence.

02 / Try it yourself · 3 minutes

What can you responsibly say or do?

What is the most useful next step before treating this as a viable offer?

Feedback is written for this example. This activity does not submit or grade your work.

03 / Make it useful · 4 minutes

Your next small step.

Write down one customer, one problem, and one assumption. Draft three questions about that person’s current experience. Your first goal is to learn whether the problem matters.

Write this in your own notes. Keep private information out of practice prompts, and check which tools your organization permits before using real work data.
