Top Tips & Tricks

1. Be Clear and Specific

💡 Tip: The more specific your question, the better the response.
✔️ Example: Instead of “Tell me about history,” try “What were the main causes of the French Revolution?"


2. Provide Context

💡 Tip: AI works best when it understands the background of your request.
✔️ Example: Instead of “Explain photosynthesis,” try “Explain the process of photosynthesis in plants  for a middle school science project."


3. Break Down Complex Questions

💡 Tip: If your query is broad, break it into smaller parts.
✔️ Example: Instead of “How do startups succeed?” try:

  • “What are the key success factors for startups?”
  • “What are common mistakes startups make?”

4. Experiment with Rewording

💡 Tip: If the AI’s answer isn’t quite right, tweak the wording.
✔️ Example: If “What is the capital of Australia?" gives a vague answer, try “Which city is the capital of Australia, and why was it chosen?"


5. Use Step-by-Step Requests

💡 Tip: Ask for a step-by-step breakdown when learning something new.
✔️ Example: “Can you give me a step-by-step guide on writing a business plan?”


6. Ask for Sources and Verification

💡 Tip: If accuracy is important, ask for sources or how to verify information.
✔️ Example: “Can you provide sources or suggest where I can verify this information?”


7. Try Different AI Models

💡 Tip: Different AIs have different strengths—experiment with ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, or Perplexity.

✔️ Example: ChatGPT is great for explanations and writing, while Perplexity specializes in finding sources.


8. Use AI for Brainstorming & Creativity

💡 Tip: AI is great for idea generation—use it for brainstorming names, ideas, or content creation.
✔️ Example: “Suggest 10 creative writing prompts for a short story contest.”


9. Refine and Iterate

💡 Tip: Treat AI like a conversation—ask follow-ups and refine your request.
✔️ Example: “Can you simplify that?” or “Can you give me an example?”


10. Use AI for Writing & Editing

💡 Tip: AI can help with drafting, summarizing, and editing.
✔️ Example: “Rewrite this paragraph to be more engaging.”
