AI tools do better work with a clear brief, just like a new teammate. A good brief says who to be, what to make, and what to avoid.
Task: Brief an AI tool to help you learn for a real school task, without doing the work for you.
| # | Part of the brief | What I will write | Where AI could go wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Role: who should the AI act as? | ||
| 2 | Goal: what exactly do I want? | ||
| 3 | Context: what does it need to know about me and the task? | ||
| 4 | Constraints: length, level, what to avoid | ||
| 5 | Output format: a list, a table, a quiz, steps? |
Why it matters: Directing AI is a management skill: being clear about the goal, the context and the limits. The same brief works for a person.
Extend it: Try the brief with an AI tool together. Grade the answer against the brief, then improve one part.
