Tip Tuesday! AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini can get a little too creative when revising your writing. Keep it closer to your original by using this prompt: "Revise this for clarity, flow, and grammar."

Tip Tuesday! Want your AI chatbot (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) to better match your expectations? Paste or upload examples to give it context for a stronger response.
Not all prompts need examples, but it's handy for when you're having it draft something similar to what you already use.
