You’re probably getting less than 50% of what your AI can actually do.
It’s a common frustration, you ask a question and get a generic, rambling answer. I just stumbled upon a fantastic post from a LinkedIn creator that perfectly solves this. The mind behind it argues that the key isn’t writing more prompts, but writing structured ones.

The secret is using templates to turn your AI into a focused partner. The original poster shared a list of 30 templates that totally reframe how you interact with tools like ChatGPT. It’s a simple shift that produces massively better results.
Here are three of my favorites from the list:
The Role-Play Specialist: This one is brilliant. You assign the AI a professional role before you ask your question. For example, starting your prompt with “Act as a tax accountant” gives the AI a specific lens, leading to more expert-level answers on your tax situation.
The Instant Comparison Table: Don’t you hate getting a wall of text when you’re trying to compare things? The post’s author suggests using a prompt like, “Create a table comparing [item 1] and [item 2] based on [criteria].” This forces the AI to give you a clean, organized, and skimmable table every time.
The ‘Explain Like I’m 5’ Method: When you’re trying to grasp a complex topic, this template is your best friend. Just ask it to “Explain [concept] to me as if I were five years old.” It’s an amazing way to cut through all the jargon and get straight to the point.
