About this exercise

You're giving a 4-slide talk at the Millbrook Chamber of Commerce breakfast. Write speaker notes as exactly 4 numbered lines, one per slide, each under 35 words. Line 1 opens with a question to the room. Use your current numbers, not the ones from last year's flyer. The last line ends with exactly: Find us at table 12. Plain text, under 150 words.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Using the flyer numbers. The flyer is in your notes, and the AI mixes its old stats in. Try: Add: "Use the September numbers only: 3 locations, 38%."
  • A flat opening. The AI opens with 'Hi, I'm...' instead of grabbing the room. Try: Add: "Open line 1 with a question to the room."
  • No closing ask. The AI ends with 'Thank you!' and no next step. Try: Add: "End the last line with: Find us at table 12."
  • A full speech. The AI writes paragraphs with headings for each slide. Try: Say: "Exactly 4 numbered lines, each under 35 words. Plain text."
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting words, so a total word cap usually lands over. Try: Cap each line: "each line under 30 words."

What a strong prompt includes

  • Opens with a question
  • Uses current numbers
