📘 Teaming With AI Workbook #2

Don't Ask for an Answer. Ask for Questions First.

🎯 Objective

Learn how to get better results by letting AI identify what's missing before it starts solving.

📝 Workbook Exercise

Think of a real task you're working on.

First, ask AI to solve it immediately.

Then ask:

"Before answering, ask me up to five questions that would help you give a better response."

Compare the quality of both outputs.

💡 Power Prompt

You are my AI teammate.

Before answering, ask me up to five clarifying questions. Wait for my replies before giving your final response. If you already have enough information, explain why and then proceed.

🌍 Real-World Scenario

You want to create a presentation.

Instead of saying:

"Create a presentation on AI."

Say:

"Before creating the presentation, ask me the questions you need to understand my audience, objective, time limit, and desired outcome."

The questions AI asks often improve the final presentation more than the presentation itself.

✅ Success Check

You've completed this exercise successfully if:

• AI asked useful questions you hadn't considered.
• Your final prompt became clearer.
• The final output required fewer revisions.

🏆 AIYING Principle

Great teammates ask questions before giving answers. AI should too.
