Unit 3.5: Improve step by step
Get to a great answer in small steps, one change per message, and keep track of the versions you like.
Many people expect a perfect answer from one message, and when it doesn't come, they give up. Skilled users work like a tailor with a shirt: first the shape, then the length, then the details. One change at a time, checking after each.
එක message එකකින් හොඳම උත්තරේ ගන්න අමාරුයි. ඒ නිසා පියවරෙන් පියවර හදන්න: එක පාරකට එක වෙනසක්. "Keep everything else the same" කියන එක හැම පාරම එකතු කරන්න. නැත්නම් AI එක හොඳ කොටසුත් වෙනස් කරනවා.
Small changes, in words you can reuse
| You want | Say |
|---|---|
| Shorter | Cut it to [number] words. / Remove the least important sentence. |
| Longer | Add one example. / Add a sentence about [topic]. |
| Simpler | Use simpler words. / Make it easy for a Grade 8 student. |
| More formal | Make it more formal. No contractions (don't → do not). |
| Friendlier | Make the tone warmer. / Make the opening friendlier. |
| Clearer to readers abroad | Replace any local words a reader abroad might not know. |
| A different order | Put [part] first. |
| Options | Give me three versions of the first sentence. |
One change per message
- That's good. Now cut it to 80 words. Keep everything else the same.
- Give me three versions of the first sentence.
- Use version 2, but with the ending from version 3.
- Put the price first, not at the end.
Keep track of versions
When you have several answers, give them names, or ask the AI to number them. Then you can mix the best parts.
Know when to stop
An answer is ready when it does its job, not when it is perfect. If you have asked for five changes and it's getting worse, go back:
