Weak prompt vs better prompt

Weak: Write a follow-up message.

Better: Write a 50-word WhatsApp follow-up to Priya, an HR manager, after our demo of our attendance app. Mention she liked the payroll export, and suggest a 15-minute call on Thursday.

The better prompt gives the channel, length, person, context and the next step, so the reply is usable without rewriting.

Common mistakes

  • Sending AI-written messages without reading them — check names, prices and promises.
  • Letting the AI invent discounts, delivery dates or policies you have not approved.
  • Using the same template for every customer instead of adding one personal detail.
