The One Prompt Trick That Instantly Improves Any AI Response
A simple but powerful prompt tweak: tell ChatGPT or Copilot to ask clarifying questions before answering. It transforms vague inputs into thoughtful, high-quality responses — and makes your AI conversations far more effective.
"If you have questions before you start, ask them." - this simple extra formula does magic to your AI prompts.
As all AI tools from ChatGPT to Copilot etc. are programmed to please the user, they are eager to answer even your vague, ambiguous, or context-free requests *immediately*.
By specifically instructing them to ask you clarification questions, they almost certainly will do so and therefore provide you with far superior response than what they otherwise would have generated.
Give it a try ✌️
