Ask AI to Ask You Questions

Published

A surprisingly useful technique for getting the most out of AI tools is to prompt it to ask you questions that would help it to complete the task you want.

For example: “We’re working on building a report about foo. Please ask me question you need answers to in order to write a report about foo.”

This works well because LLMs are generally better at writing prompts for LLMs.

You can pair this technique with asking it to write a prompt for you. “Based on this, write a prompt for an LLM to write a report about foo.”
