Let it interview you
When you do not know what to tell AI, ask it to ask you questions first.
Writing a full prompt with all the context is hard. Often you do not know which details matter.
The fix is simple: describe your goal in one line, then tell the AI to ask you the questions it needs before it starts. Answer them, and only then let it work.
This turns a lazy prompt into a great one without much effort. It works very well for CVs, business plans, trip planning, difficult letters and lesson plans.
Ask for a small number of questions at a time, like three to five. Otherwise you get a long list that feels like a form.
