Still in the Room · A free tool
Stop getting generic answers out of AI.
A good prompt has four parts, and almost everyone writes only one of them. Answer a few questions about something real on your calendar this week. Watch the prompt build itself. Then take it to Claude and use it.
What are you actually trying to do?
Pick the one that matches something real. This works best when there is something at stake.
Fill in what only you know.
Claude has read almost everything and knows nothing about you. These are the parts it cannot guess. Be honest, including about the uncomfortable bits, because vague input is what produces vague output.
One more thing, and it matters more than the prompt.
The first answer you get back is not the answer. It is a first draft. Do not start over and do not rewrite your prompt from scratch. Just talk to it the way you would talk to a colleague: too formal, say it the way I would say it, or you made me sound apologetic, take that out.
That single habit is the whole difference between the people who get real value out of AI and the people who try it for a week and quietly decide it was overhyped. You are allowed to argue with it. It will not get offended.
Still in the Room is her six-week cohort. Half of it is hands-on AI fluency like this. The other half is the part almost nobody teaches.
