Three Prompt Endings That Stop AI From Guessing and Make It Ask You First (Prompt Hacks)

Andrew Miles Davis resets his prompt hacks series around one idea, that what you add to the end of a prompt now matters more than the prompt itself, because endings give the model the context it needs. He compares this to how hooks replaced headlines in content marketing, and argues prompt endings will become the next thing everyone talks about. He shares three endings with real examples. The first asks for up to five clarifying questions before the final response, which turned a vague request for a fitness plan into one built around his goals, ability, time and equipment. The second tells the AI to stop and ask if any part of the request is ambiguous, which caught that a five day holiday in Italy was far too broad. The third asks for a brief outline and approval before writing a long piece, which let him shape a seven day meal plan before it was built. He ties all three back to his AI sandwich and points listeners to his prompt endings page on his website. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for prompt hacks twice a month and daily ten-minute AI insight.
