When you open a conversation with Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini — don't jump straight to the task. Start with: "I am a [role] working on [topic]. I need to do X." Why does this matter so much? AI models try to guess your context. Once you give it to them, they don't need to guess — and you get an answer tailored to you, not to the average user. Bad example: "Write me a marketing email" Good example: "I'm a product manager at a SaaS company. Our audience is CFOs at mid-size businesses. Write a short marketing email introducing the automated reporting feature we just launched." The difference between the two requests is a few seconds. The result? Completely different.
