Zero-to-useful AI setup

Goal: get one reliable result quickly, then reuse that workflow.

Use this when: you need a fast first win · You’ll leave with: a reusable starter prompt · Fun cue: treat it like your personal AI warm-up

Step 1 — Pick one concrete outcome

Example: “Plan a 5-day train trip in Italy under €120/day.”

Step 2 — Use this prompt skeleton

You are [role]. Help me [goal].
Constraints: [budget/time/style].
Output: [format].
Ask 3 clarifying questions first.

Step 3 — Improve one iteration

Send: Revise this for accuracy and practicality. Keep constraints. Explain changes briefly.

Step 4 — Save reusable template

Create one “starter prompt” note so every new task begins from proven structure.

Step 5 — 30-second quality check

• Did it follow all constraints?
• Did it state assumptions clearly?
• Can you execute the first step immediately?
