Ask AI to show its assumptions and confidence
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot
You can make AI reveal what it is guessing and how sure it is before you trust it.
The problem
AI sounds confident even when it is filling gaps with guesses.
What this skill does
Ask AI to list its assumptions and flag low-confidence parts.
When to use it
- Before acting on an answer that matters.
Juni’s tip
Confidence is not accuracy. Ask what it is unsure about.
