10 AI Cheat Codes
Small habits that save hours every week
These are the practical moves beginners can use immediately to get more reliable answers.
1. Give the AI a role.
"Act as a technical SEO consultant" beats "help with SEO."
2. Define the audience.
Tell it who the output is for, what they know and what they need next.
3. Paste the real context.
Use the actual email, page, spreadsheet columns or code instead of describing it from memory.
4. Specify the format.
Ask for a table, checklist, memo, JSON, outline or step-by-step plan.
5. Ask for assumptions.
Make hidden guesses visible before you rely on the answer.
6. Request three options.
Use conservative, balanced and bold versions when choosing strategy or wording.
7. Add constraints.
State budget, length, tone, tools, deadlines and what must be avoided.
8. Ask it to critique itself.
Request weaknesses, missing data and what a skeptical expert would challenge.
9. Iterate in passes.
First outline, then draft, then edit, then final polish.
10. Verify before publishing.
Check facts, links, calculations, legal claims and anything that affects people or money.
