School, a job, or a business. Same five lines. Your own task.
Before we start
What did you last use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok for?
Today
You already use it. Today you learn how to ask, and how to check one fact.
One idea
It writes the next likely words. It can sound sure and still be wrong.
Your job is the question and the check.
Prompt engineering · LUMS
Role comes first. “I am 14.” or “You are a tutor.”
Studies
Explain photosynthesis.
I am 14. Explain photosynthesis in 5 lines for a class test. Then give me 5 short questions. Mark which fact I should check in my book.
Organization
Write an email to my manager.
I need a 6-line email asking my manager for a decision on [topic]. Give two subject lines. Do not invent numbers.
Business
Write an ad for my business.
Write a WhatsApp message under 60 words for [what I sell], for [who buys it]. Give two versions: a new person, and someone who already knows me. Do not invent a price.
I am [age or role].
I need [notes / a quiz / a message / a draft] about [your real topic].
The reader is [who]. Length: [5 lines, 60 words, or 6 lines].
Give me two versions. Do not invent facts, prices, or numbers.
Then send this
Make the first version shorter. Tell me one thing I should check myself.
Agentic AI
A chat stops after one reply. An agent keeps working the task.
Same five lines. The work continues through the steps, and you still check the fact.
Example · Mission Control
From real work
Make one piece
Pick the task that is real for you this week.

One minute
Before you leave
I can now ___.
Do not type a full name, school, phone number, address, or a customer’s private details. A sure-sounding answer can still be wrong.
