🧠 Practice Only – Not for Submission
💬 AI Feedback Required
In this activity, you’ll practice using the 6 Prompt Components to structure a high-quality, AI-ready prompt. You’ll start with a vague request and learn how to ask smarter questions, fill in the gaps, and build a prompt that produces clear, client-ready output.
This activity helps you think like a coach, someone who can clarify requests, lead with structure, and guide AI (or a client!) toward better outcomes.
Your executive sends you this message:
“Can you build a meeting kit for next week?”
There’s no agenda, no audience, no format. You need more clarity, but you also need to move.
🧍 Persona:
Who should AI pretend to be?
→ Example: An Executive Partner supporting a senior leader
🎯 Task:
What exactly do you want AI to produce?
→ Example: A full meeting kit with bios, agenda, and prep links
📘 Context:
What does AI need to know about the situation?
→ Example: It’s an internal prep session for a client Zoom next Thursday. The exec needs to look sharp and confident, so details must be tight and polished.
🔍 Exemplar (optional):
Should AI match a previous doc or style?
→ Example: “Use the Q2 planning kit as a reference.”
📄 Format:
How should the output be structured?
→ Example: A Google Doc with headers: Overview, Attendees, Agenda, Bios, Prep Materials
🎙️ Tone:
What should it sound like?
→ Example: Clear, professional, client-ready, no fluff
Now, write your AI prompt using all 6 components.
Paste your prompt into AI and review the output.
Check for alignment to the structure, clarity, and tone you asked for.
Revise as needed.
Use an AI tool (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) to check your work by using the prompt below:

Please give me feedback on:
- Did I use all 6 components effectively?
- Is the output clear, structured, and aligned to XP standards?
- What would make this even more polished or useful?
