Best Practices: Getting Better Results from AI

Essential tips for communicating effectively with your AI assistant to get faster, more accurate results.

Element Selection

Always select first: Click on the element you want to change before making requests. Look for the blue outline to confirm your selection.

Common mistakes:

  • ❌ "Make the text bigger" (no selection)
  • ✅ Select text, then say "Make this text bigger"

Effective Communication

Be Specific

Vague requests get poor results:

  • ❌ "Make this look better"
  • ✅ "Make this headline larger and bold"

Include context:

  • ❌ "Add a contact form"
  • ✅ "I'm a photographer - add a contact form for client inquiries with fields for event date and budget"

Essential Prompt Structure

Good prompts include:

  1. Who you are - "I'm a fitness coach"
  2. What you want - "Make this header more eye-catching"
  3. Why/How - "Using bold colors to attract young audiences"

Example: "I'm a wedding photographer and I want this header more elegant using soft colors, but keep it readable on mobile."

Quick Communication Tips

Use examples:

  • "Make this look like Apple's website - clean and minimal"
  • "Match the colors from my Instagram"

Be direct:

  • ❌ "Could you possibly maybe make the text bigger?"
  • ✅ "Make this text 20% larger"

One request at a time:

  • ❌ "Change colors, fonts, layout, and add social media"
  • ✅ "First, update the color scheme to match my brand"

Common Request Patterns

Design changes: "Change [element] to [specific style] because [reason]"

Content creation: "Write [content type] for [audience] that [specific goal], keep it [length]"

Technical fixes: "Optimize [element] for [device] to improve [specific metric]"

Giving Feedback

Be specific about problems:

  • ❌ "I don't like it"
  • ✅ "The colors are too bright for my brand"

Suggest alternatives:

  • ❌ "Try something else"
  • ✅ "Can you try a darker blue instead?"

Quick Reference

Before Every Request

  1. ✅ Select the element you want to change
  2. ✅ Be specific about what you want
  3. ✅ Include context about your brand/audience
  4. ✅ Focus on one change at a time

Prompt Template

"I'm a [profession] and I want to [specific change] because [reason]. Please [action] while keeping [constraint]."

Remember

  • The AI is your partner, not a mind reader
  • Specific requests get better results
  • Provide feedback to improve outcomes
  • Build on successful interactions
