About this exercise
Write the announcement in two lines: "For admins:" (30 words or fewer) and "For end users:" (25 words or fewer). Mention the Nov 16 date in both. The admin line says what to do; the end-user line says only what they will receive and do. Do not mention the other audience in either line. Plain text.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Mixing audiences. The AI tells end users about the CSV upload. Try: Say: "Do not mention the other audience in either line."
- Adding hype. The AI uses "biggest update of the year". Try: Say: "Plain and factual, no hype."
- Dropping the date. The AI forgets Nov 16. Try: Say: "Mention Nov 16 in both lines."
- Getting markdown back. AI adds bold and headings by default, which show up as stray symbols where this is pasted. Try: Say "plain text, no bold, no headings, no asterisks".
- Trusting the AI to count words. The AI runs long and cannot count its own words. Try: Cap each part ("each line under 12 words") and add "under N words in total".
- Leaving a requirement unstated. The AI follows its own defaults unless the prompt spells this out. Try: State it plainly in your prompt: the output has exactly two lines starting 'For admins:' and 'For end users:' and nothing else.
What a strong prompt includes
- Names the two lines
- Word caps
- Mentions the date
- Keeps audiences separate
- Asks for plain text
- Sets a word cap
