The 5-Step AI Mastery Process
1. Start With Your Outcome
-
Don’t start with “Which AI?”
-
Start with: “What do I want to create, fix, or understand today?”
2. Match the AI to the Job
-
Accuracy → Perplexity
-
Creativity → ChatGPT
-
Long context → Gemini
-
Speed → Groq
-
Privacy/local → Llama
-
Deep reasoning → Claude
-
Coding → Replit / Groq
3. Use the 3-Part Prompt Formula
-
Role: “Act as a… (expert/coach)”
-
Goal: “Your goal is to help me…”
-
Input: “Here is what I have…”
This gives clearer and more useful results instantly.
4. Iterate for Improvement
Say things like:
-
“Make it simpler.”
-
“Make it actionable.”
-
“Give me alternatives.”
-
“Redo for social media.”
-
“Rewrite for beginners.”
The second answer is almost always better.
5. Turn AI Output Into Real Action
-
Convert results into a checklist
-
Ask for a step-by-step plan
-
Build a template you can reuse
-
Set next actions + deadlines
AI becomes transformation when it becomes action.
