AI Focus: Writing better prompts for everyday work tasks

Duration: 13 minutes

Overview: This course explains how to write clearer, more effective prompts when using AI tools for everyday work tasks. It focuses on why prompts influence output quality, the core building blocks that shape useful responses, and practical ways to improve prompts without overcomplicating them. Learners will also explore how to sense-check and validate AI outputs before using them in real work.

Why is this course important? AI tools can save time, but unclear prompts often lead to vague or misaligned outputs that require rework. This course helps learners understand how small improvements to their instructions can significantly improve usefulness and consistency. By applying these techniques, learners can reduce frustration, avoid repeated prompting, and use AI more confidently and responsibly in day-to-day tasks.

Suitable for: Employees, team leaders, and professionals who use AI tools to support everyday tasks such as writing, summarising, planning, or organising information. It is designed for people with no technical background in AI and applies across roles, industries, and organisation types.
