A Pre-Prompt Worksheet
The Brief
Better outputs start before you open AI.
Most AI interactions go sideways before the first word is typed. The Brief changes that. Five fields, a few minutes, and a starting prompt that's ready to work.
A quick reminder: Nothing you type here is saved, but it's best to keep private or sensitive information out of this space and AI tools.
Part 1
Set the Intent
What do you want to achieve? Be specific.
Part 2
Don't Make It Guess
What would help AI understand not just the task, but the situation?
What are the limits? (e.g. AI's role, tone, length, format, what to avoid)
Part 3
Stay In It
How should the output look? (bullet list, email, table, paragraph)
Part 4
Own the Outcome
How will you know the output isn't just done, but ready to be used or shared?
