About this exercise

Output a table with the header "Feature | Basic | Pro | Business" and exactly four rows: Price, Users, Storage, Support. Use only the current sheet. Plain text, under 70 words, nothing else.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Using the old sheet. The AI uses $10 or 2 GB. Try: Say: "Use the current sheet only."
  • Adding extra rows. The AI adds API and SSO rows. Try: Say: "Exactly the four rows named."
  • No table. The AI writes a list. Try: Give the exact header.
  • 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. AI is bad at counting and usually runs long, so a vague "keep it short" lands well over the limit. Try: Cap each part instead of the total, for example "each line under 15 words".

What a strong prompt includes

  • Gives the header
  • Names the four rows
  • Uses the current sheet
  • Asks for plain text
  • Sets a length limit
