About the Book

A working guide to prompting, built on one premise: an AI's answer never rises above the quality of the question. The book starts with what changed after ChatGPT and then teaches prompting as a language you can learn systematically rather than a knack you either have or don't.

Seven laws organize it — clarity, persona, context, format, few-shot, chain of thought, and positive framing — each with a Bad-to-Good rewrite and a reusable template. Field chapters follow: writing, business and marketing, images, study, everyday use. The appendix carries 100 ready prompts, an evaluation checklist, and a glossary. Because it teaches principles rather than one product's interface, it survives the next model release.

About the Author
