The Interview Prompt

The one-sentence prompt that fixes most AI output

For everyone — this is the technique the rest of the library stands on.

Free. One password, and every file in the library is yours.

Ask AI for a draft cold and you get the average of everyone else's. This free guide is the other way round: the AI interviews you first — one question at a time — and only then writes. What comes out is made of your answers, which is why it doesn't read like AI wrote it.

Try it right here

These are real prompts from the guide — pick a use, copy it, and run it in whichever tool your organisation has approved. Answer by voice if you can: we speak three to four times faster than we type.

Ask me one question at a time to deepen your understanding of what I want to create. When I'm ready, you will create [the draft / the plan / the policy / the report].

Any task that matters more than a one-line answer. Ten minutes of being interviewed beats an hour of prompt-fiddling.

The differentiator was never the model. It is the lived experience sitting in your head, and it stays there until something good at asking questions pulls it out.

Inside the file

The prompt itself, ready to paste into any tool
The four rules: one question at a time, capped at five, answered by voice, ending in an artefact
The policy written together in one meeting
The grant that draws on everyone who touched the program, not just the writer
Stories extracted from the people who lived them — with the consent line built in
The reverse pass: an interviewer who grills you before the real one does

Take it with you.

Share it freely inside your organisation. That is what it is for.
