If you’ve ever thought: “This AI stuff is overrated—the answers I get are so generic” … chances are it’s not the AI. It’s the prompt. 👉 Garbage In = Garbage Out (GIGO). The good news: you can fix it. Here’s the CRISP Framework (credit: 100 School 🙌) to level up your prompts: C – Context → Give AI the business situation + constraints so it stays relevant. R – Role → Assign it a persona (ex: senior copywriter, marketing strategist, RN with 10 yrs experience). I – Instruction → Break down what to create, why it matters, must-haves, and success criteria. S – Specification → Define format, tone, structure (ex: 3-paragraph email, bullet points, casual tone). P – Performance → Set metrics/standards that separate “meh” from exceptional (ex: include stats, stay under 250 words, 5th grade reading level). 👉 Example: ❌ “Write me a social post.” ✅ “Act as a marketing strategist. Write me a LinkedIn post (150 words) for insurance agents about the risk of DIY retirement plans, using a casual but expert tone, ending with a call to book a consult.” The second one gets you gold every time. 🏆 👉 Question for you: Where do you feel ChatGPT gives you the most “garbage” right now—emails, posts, or lead follow-ups? Drop it below 👇 and let’s fix it using CRISP.

Ever go back-and-forth with ChatGPT, adding more and more clarifications… until the poor thing is confused and your output is worse than where you started? 🙃 There’s a smarter way: the Prompt Edit technique Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Write your first (basic) prompt. Example: “Write a short summary of our new product feature.” 2️⃣ Run it. Look at the output. Meh. 3️⃣ Instead of explaining in the thread → go back, click 📝 (pencil icon), Edit message, and refine the original prompt: “Write a short summary of our new product feature for our Q4 launch deck. Audience is internal, non-technical stakeholders. Tone: clear and confident.” 4️⃣ Run it again. Notice how the output is sharper, cleaner, and more on target. 💡 When to use Prompt Edit: ✔️ Trying different prompt styles ✔️ Experimenting with tone ✔️ Refining an output for side-by-side comparisons ✔️ Testing the difference between garbage vs. CRISP prompts (👀 looking at you, GIGO 😅) Credit: 100 School 🙌.

Shifting Gears a little bit so I am doing a reintroduction: Hey hey! 👋 I’m Jhoanna—creator of SmartScale AI and fellow survivor of the “doing everything myself” phase. If you’re in Level 1: 🤯 The Grind—congrats! That means you’re early in the journey… not doing it wrong. We’re here to solve the core problem silently capping most service-based businesses: Manual, inconsistent marketing that leaks leads and blocks growth. This community is built to help you: ✅ Automate follow-up ✅ Grow reviews + referrals ✅ Prequalify leads 24/7 ✅ Build one smart, AI-powered system to scale without working more 🧠 Let’s Get to Know You: In the Intros category, post a quick intro with: 1. Your name + business 2. What's your primary offer (in simple words) 3. Where you think you’re stuck 4. Your dream result in the next 90 days Example: “Hey I’m Amanda! I run a massage therapy studio in Phoenix. We book out 3 weeks ahead but get tons of missed calls and no-shows. I want more automation + fewer flakes—ideally grow without hiring.” 🗣️ This helps me shape content that actually solves your real-time roadblocks. Let’s go from chaos to clarity—together. —Jhoanna Let's GO and Let's GROW.

AI isn’t just here to obey, it can also be your sparring partner. Try this: 👉 Prompt: “I want you to act like a friendly but ruthless critic. Here’s my idea: {{insert your idea}}. Please roast it. Tell me why it might fail, the assumptions I’m making, and what I might be blind to. Be playful but sharp.” Didn’t get enough sting? Edit and re-run: - “Act as an investor deciding whether to fund me.” - “Pretend you’re a competitor trying to destroy my idea.” - Then flip it: “Take the top 3 critiques and turn them into creative opportunities. Suggest one new feature for each.” 👉 Now you’ve roasted your idea, uncovered blind spots, and strengthened it, all without getting embarrassed in front of a client or investor.

If someone was considering a premium or paid AI model to use, what would be your recommendation? I hear each one is different or better suited for different things but I don't have the slightest clue really on what that would be
