Tell AI What You Want
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot · Gemini
You can state the result you want so AI helps with the right thing.
The problem
People often describe a topic but never say what they want done with it, so the answer misses the point.
What this skill does
Before you ask, name the outcome you are after: a list, a short reply, an explanation, a plan. Telling the AI your goal in the first sentence is like telling a helper "I want X." It stops the AI from guessing and gives you something you can use straight away.
When to use it
- Use this whenever you want a specific result, like a reply you can send, a list you can follow, or a summary you can read quickly.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: start with "I want". When the AI knows your goal, it stops guessing and starts helping.

Weak vs. better
tell me about emails
I want a short, friendly reply telling my landlord the tap is fixed. Keep it to 3 sentences.
Why this works
Stating the goal first tells the AI what "done" looks like, so its answer matches what you will actually use.
Practice task
Think of one thing you need today, then write a prompt that starts with "I want" and name the result.
Self-check
- My prompt names a clear result, like a reply, a list, or a summary.
- I could hand the answer to someone and it would be usable, not just background information.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Describing the topic but never saying what you want the AI to make or do.
- Asking for everything at once instead of naming one clear result you can use.
