Your prompt
I have a difficult conversation coming up and want to prepare. Here's the situation and who it's with: asking my manager for a pay rise / telling a friend they upset me Here's what I'm hoping comes out of it: a rise, or at least a clear plan to get one / to clear the air Please help me get ready. Suggest a calm way to open the conversation, the main points I need to get across, and how to say them without putting the other person on the defensive. Warn me about the moments where it might get tense, and how I could respond. My biggest worry is losing my nerve or saying the wrong thing.
Once you have your points, ask the AI to role-play the other person and push back the way they might, so the real conversation isn't the first time you hear those objections out loud. It also helps to plan one calm line for when things get heated, such as "I can see this is difficult, shall we take a moment?", so you always have a way to steady things.
A calm way to open the conversation, the key points to make, wording that avoids putting the other person on the defensive, and a heads-up on the tense moments.
Context is the background you hand the AI so it can answer for your situation, not a generic one. This guide explains why context matters so much, what kinds are worth giving, audience, purpose, examples, and limits, and how it helps keep the AI honest.
Good prompts tend to share the same three parts. This guide breaks down the anatomy of a well-structured prompt, the instruction, the context, and the format, so you can build strong requests every time instead of hoping for the best.
