Get better answers from Grok, Claude and other AI

After this you'll be able to:

Give it the context

Paste or upload the email, the document or the job ad. Say who you are and who it's for. A good brief beats a clever trick.

Set it up once for jobs you repeat

Save your instructions and files so you don't retype them: Projects in Claude 2, skills in Gemini, and Projects in ChatGPT. 3 4

Gems become skills on Nov 17, 2026

On personal Google accounts (18+), Gems turn into skills and go read-only that day, and they're removed on Dec 17, 2026. Make new ones as skills (Customize › Skills). Google moves existing Gems over for you, but audio, video, old Office (.doc, .xls, .ppt) and zip files don't carry over, so download them before Dec 17. Work accounts follow in March 2027, school accounts in June 2027. 1

Ask for the format

Say the length and shape up front: "one paragraph", "a table with 3 columns", "5 bullets, then one sentence to remember". You'll get what you need, and short answers use less of your limit.

Make it check itself

Ask what it assumed and what it's unsure about. Then check anything important against a real source.

Prompt: the briefing template
Goal: [what you want].
Context: [who I am, who it's for, paste the material].
Must include: [facts, limits, tone].
Format: [length and shape].
Before you start, ask me up to 3 questions if anything is unclear.
Prompt: check your own answer
Look back at your answer. List the assumptions you made, anything you're not sure is true, and what would change your answer. Then give me a corrected version if needed.
