☄️ The Anatomy of a Perfect AI Prompt
Getting better outputs from AI starts with asking better questions. Or in our case, writing a better prompt.
Key Facts
- 🤔 Many of us aren’t getting the most out of AI because we’re not framing our prompts effectively.
- 📝 OpenAI’s Greg Brockman shared a simple yet powerful method to enhance our AI interactions.
- 🚀 By refining how we ask, we can unlock more accurate and useful AI responses.
Most people are still prompting wrong.
It’s no one’s fault.
To be honest, only until recently did we discover this was even a thing.
But thanks to Greg Brockman and Ben Hylak, there’s a framework to fix that.
📍 Goal: Clearly define what you want AI to do. Precision is everything.
📍 Return Format: Tell AI exactly how you want the response structured (bullet points, table, essay, code, etc.).
📍 Warnings: Set guardrails. If accuracy is critical, specify it.
📍 Context Dump: Give AI background info, it performs better when it understands the full picture.
Master these, and your AI responses will go from meh to mind-blowing.
Why Good Prompting Matters
Think of AI like a high-performance sports car. Without a skilled driver (that’s you!), it won’t perform at its best.
The difference between a vague prompt and a well-crafted one can be night and day.
Good prompts help:
✅ Save time – Get the best answer on the first try.
✅ Improve accuracy – Reduce hallucinations and misleading results.
✅ Enhance creativity – AI becomes more innovative when given the right inputs.
This structure works best for reasoning models, like OpenAI’s o1, o3 and DeepSeek’s R1.
If you’re not customizing your prompts with this in mind, you’re leaving serious AI potential on the table.

🛠️ How AI Builders Are Changing Everything
Remember when building a custom app or website meant hiring a whole dev team and burning through your budget? Those days are fading fast.
Key Facts
- 💡 AI platforms are enabling non-developers to build apps and websites.
- ⏱️ They significantly save time and reduce costs.
- 🌐 Agencies can offer advanced services without needing large teams.
I’ve been a software engineer now for 28 years.
I’ve built some pretty incredible tech in nearly 3 decades and have more than put in my 10,000+ hours.
It’s safe to say that when I choose to code, I’m pretty efficient and and get things done fairly quickly.
An average site, maybe a week or two. A SaaS backend, maybe 3-5 weeks, and so on.
Now picture me with my jaw on the floor the first time I tried one of these Agent-based app builders and brought an idea to life in about 10 minutes.
Idea > Prompt > Watch AI build it > Drink Coffee > Deploy.
This is real.
And I don’t think you understand yet… 😅
No-code and AI-driven platforms are normalizing software creation, making it easier to build websites, apps, and even automate entire workflows, without a massive dev team.
And it’s giving agencies, startups and nearly everyone a new edge.
Here’s how. 👇
Platforms like Replit and Lovable let non-developers & developers alike create custom apps with AI-assisted recommendations. Agencies for example can prototype 60-70% faster, saving both time and money.
Even helping to win that proposal faster than the competition.
I was talking to a friend in sales for his agency and he said that during a call with a client who asked for a specific feature, he AI generated the feature to close the deal.
ON THE CALL.
In the past 2 weeks I’ve prototyped 6 ideas.
And I have 2 more I’m working on right now.
I want you to consider what it would be like to do the same, because excuses are over.
Earlier I mentioned Agencies.
I love Agency models. I used to run my own multi 7-figure agency, and I now am growing Bara Agency as Principal.
It would be easy to see how AI would put Agencies on check.
But AI isn’t replacing agencies.
It’s supercharging them. At least the smart ones.
And if you’re an agency owner or leader and want to scale faster, work smarter and build a business that thrives, I want to tell you about something I’m fired up about.
