Pro Tips For AI Beginners - The AI Moment Podcast With Danny Denhard & Jonathan Wagstaffe

Thanks for listening to the AI Moment podcast today.

This conversation between Danny and Jonathan covers essential AI tips for executives and business owners.

Jonathan emphasises that AI prompting uses natural language - no special syntax required.

However, generic prompts like "write me a marketing plan" produce generic results. Better outcomes require providing context: upload company documents, share business plans, or explain your specific situation before asking for help.

Key techniques shared include:

Tell the AI what role to play ("you are an expert lawyer")
Specify your target audience ("explain this to an intelligent 15-year-old")
Use voice input for faster interaction, especially for busy executives
End prompts with "ask me clarifying questions if unclear"
Cross-prompt between different AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) for varied perspectives

Danny highlights using AI for executive summaries and thought organization through voice dictation. Both recommend starting with personal use cases (recipes, Airbnb hosting) to build comfort before workplace applications.

The core executive takeaway: AI excels at providing clarity of thought and reshaping concepts, typically delivering 6-7 out of 10 results that you can refine further.
