The effective use of AI distinguishes successful individuals from those who struggle to leverage it effectively. Many treat AI like a search engine, while successful users engage it as a high-value consultant. Five key patterns highlight this difference:
- Role-Based Prompting: Specify roles to enhance AI output, such as asking it to act as a CMO.
- Context Stacking: Provide detailed contexts, like defining the audience facing specific challenges.
- Constraint Definition: Detail precise requirements, such as creating a sales process tailored for B2B SaaS with specific metrics.
- Output Specification: Request structured outputs, like generating ideas with ROI and implementation difficulty.
- Iteration Frameworks: Break tasks into stages, asking for analysis followed by strategic recommendations.
These patterns have led to over $50M in revenue from tailored prompts, demonstrating the potential of strategic AI use.
