Working Methods
This module covers how to work with AI on real tasks. You'll be able to write a prompt that gives a model what it needs, choose how to divide a writing or analysis task between yourself and AI, and decide what to hand to an agent and where to check its work. The methods are tool-neutral, so they'll still apply when the products change.
Module objectives
- Write a prompt that gives a model the goal, context, constraints, and examples it needs.
- Choose a division of labor with AI for a writing or analysis task that keeps your judgment in charge.
- Decide what to delegate to an AI agent and set checkpoints for reviewing its work.
