What you'll learn

I can turn trusted facts into useful communication, adapt the same source for different audiences without changing its meaning, and edit from the receiver's point of view.

Bring / required

Required: computer or phone with AI/GPT for the live prompting route. Bring your own small work task or use the starter case. Your course playbook should be open for notes.

What you'll do

Follow the session exercise, run only the text explicitly marked as a prompting activity, inspect the result and record evidence in your session card.

Take away

A completed session card, a checked result or decision, and an update to your Personal AI Work Playbook.

Explanations and workbook templates are not prompts. Prompting activities are labelled explicitly.

THREE BITES. ONE PRACTICAL MOVE.

05ADraft From Facts, Not Imagination
05BOne Source, Many Audiences
05CEdit for the Receiver

What you'll practise

  • Draft from trusted source material rather than invention.
  • Adapt the same source for different audiences without changing its meaning.
  • Review the result from the receiver's point of view.
Keep this idea

Change the communication, not the underlying truth.

Try it with the supplied case

Prompting exerciseYou write or revise the AI instruction as part of this exercise. Only the instruction for that step plus the referenced case material goes into AI; the worksheet remains your notes.

Question: How can the same facts help different readers? Input: Q-104, S2 and S6 before approval.

  1. In 12 minutes create a customer draft and an internal note to Mira/Farah from the same facts.
  2. In 12 minutes exchange drafts. Customer needs subtotal, missing postcode and next step; colleagues need outstanding checks, decision and owner. Mark any changed facts or invented promises.
  3. In 8 minutes revise one message using the receiver's feedback. Tone can be an appropriate criterion for a sensitive reply.

Keep/check: Two versions with unchanged price, uncertainty and approval status. The internal note can say “Farah: please check stock once postcode is supplied”; customer text should not expose irrelevant internal process.
