How to Operate AI: Practical Prompting Guides for Beginners
“Operating AI” means directing an AI tool the way you’d brief a capable new colleague: clear goal, the context they need, the format you want, and the rules to follow. Then you review and refine. These guides teach that skill with real workflows.

The five-part prompt
Every guide uses the same structure: role, task, context, format, constraints. Learn it once and it works across tools. Templates for each use case live in the Prompt Library.
Rules that apply to every AI tool
- Verify facts, numbers, and quotes against real sources.
- Never paste passwords or customers’ personal data.
- Tell the AI not to invent facts, and to mark gaps instead.
- Edit the final output in your own voice.
