The last two wins are about you rather than your documents. Preparing for a meeting is the AI as a sparring partner — it helps you think, and you keep the judgement. Learning something new is the AI as a tutor who never sighs when you ask the same thing twice.
Win 9: prepare for a meeting
Give the situation, your position, and what you want out of it. Ask for a small fixed set of things — three questions, two points, one opening line. A fixed set stops the model producing a page of generic advice and gives you something you can hold in your head.
Try it
A rent-increase conversation
- Did it work? It used your facts — the oven, the three years, the $500 comparison — rather than generic negotiation tips. The opening sentence should be something you would actually say out loud.
- Do not use it for: the law. If it tells you what a landlord is or is not allowed to do, that is a claim about your local tenancy rules, and it may be wrong or out of date. Check the official tenancy authority page for where you live.
Win 10: learn something new
Ask for a first lesson, not a course. Five minutes, a handful of items, one trick for remembering them. You can always ask for lesson two.
Try it
A five-minute first Spanish lesson
- Did it work? Eight phrases, each with a pronunciation guide, and "Hola" among them. Say three of them out loud — that is the lesson.
- Then: tomorrow, start a new chat with *"Test me on eight beginner Spanish phrases, one at a time, and correct me."* The model is a better quiz-master than teacher, because you do the work.
