The 30-second context trick that fixes generic outputs
If you're getting generic, could-have-Googled-that outputs from AI, try this before you do anything else:
Before your next prompt, add one sentence about WHO you are and one sentence about WHO the output is for.
That's it. Two sentences.
Instead of:
"Write an email about our project timeline change"
Try:
"I'm a project manager at a mid-size marketing agency. Write an email to my client (a VP of Marketing at a Fortune 500 company) about a 2-week timeline delay on their Q1 campaign."
Same task. Completely different output.
Why this works: AI defaults to the most generic version of any task unless you tell it otherwise. Those two sentences -- who you are and who the audience is -- immediately narrow the possibilities from "any email ever written" to "a specific email for a specific situation."
It's not a hack. It's just context. And context is the single biggest lever you have.
Try it on your next prompt and see what happens.
What's one prompt you've been getting generic results from? Drop it below and I'll show you what two sentences of context could do.
