Review AI like a manager

Treat AI like a fast, eager new hire: give clear briefs, check the work, and give specific feedback.

01 · The idea

A good manager does not accept the first draft or redo it all alone. They say what is wrong and ask for another version. Do the same with AI.

Vague feedback like "make it better" gets vague changes. Specific feedback works: "The second paragraph repeats the first. Cut it. The price is wrong; it is 45 euros."

Check four things every time: Is it true? Is it complete? Does it fit the reader? Would I sign my name on it?

You can even ask AI to review itself first: "Act as a strict editor. List the five biggest problems with this draft." Then decide which to fix.

02 · Think of it like this

AI is like a talented intern on day one. Very fast, sometimes brilliant, never tired, but it does not know your context and will not tell you when it is guessing.

03 · Do it now

04 · Quick check

Which feedback will get the best second draft?
