The 5 Moves

Getting the most out of any AI tool

Use our 5 Moves as a quick, simple outline to optimize any tool we recommend. Come back to them whenever you need to while you perfect any AI tool.

1) Casual Chat
Illustrated tree standing in a cracked, drought-dry landscape.
The same tree with rain falling and new sprouts breaking through the soil.
Have a casual chat
Talk to it like a person, not a search bar.
“Say what's actually going on, in your own words — not a formal request.”
2) My Rules

The same tree standing upright again under a calm, post-storm sky.
Set your rules
Say your real time, energy, and limits up front.
“Be upfront about how much time or energy you actually have right now.”
3) Peaceful Output

The same tree lit by a warm sunrise breaking over the horizon.
Prompt for peaceful output
Ask for one piece at a time. You control the pace.
“Ask for one small piece first, not the whole thing at once.”
4) My Final Say
Illustrated tree encased in ice during a deep freeze.
The same tree thawing out with new growth in early spring.
The final say is yours
Push back if it's wrong. You're the boss, not the intern.
“If something's off, just say so — you're allowed to push back.”
5) Usable Format
Illustrated tree tangled in dark thorny brambles at its roots.
Illustrated tree in full bloom, its canopy made of four colors, under a warm sun.
Ask for a usable format
Ask for the shape you actually need, so you're not stuck fixing it after.
“Ask for the shape you need it in, so you're not stuck reformatting it after.”
