The difference between someone who thinks AI is "a bit rubbish" and someone who uses it to save hours every week comes down to one skill: how they ask.This book teaches you that skill. No technical background required. No jargon. No assumptions about what you already know.
You'll learn:
- The six building blocks that make any prompt work — and when to use each one
- How to go from vague, generic AI output to specific, genuinely useful results in seconds
- Ready-to-use prompt templates for writing, business, research, data analysis, and creative work
- Advanced techniques like getting AI to critique its own work, think step by step, and match your voice
- How to spot and fix the most common prompting mistakes
- A quick-reference cheat sheet you'll come back to again and again
This book is for you if:
- You've tried ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and felt underwhelmed by the results
- You know AI could save you time but you're not sure how to make it work properly
- You're not technical and most AI guides make you feel like you need a computer science degree
- You want practical techniques you can use today, not theory about how AI works under the bonnet
Every technique is explained in plain English with real examples, before-and-after comparisons, and prompts you can copy and adapt immediately. Whether you're writing emails, planning a project, analysing data, or just trying to get a straight answer to a complicated question — this book will change how you use AI.
Part of The Plain English AI Series — practical, jargon-free guides to using AI tools effectively.
