The Power of Constraints: Why AI Performs Better With Limits
Most people think AI works best when you give it freedom.
It does not.
AI performs better when you give it boundaries.
If your output feels generic, vague, or repetitive — the issue is usually not the AI.
It is the prompt.
Example 1 — Weak Prompt
“Write a lesson plan about ecosystems.”
Result: Broad. Surface level. No structure. No differentiation.
Example 2 — Constrained Prompt
“Create a 45-minute 8th grade science lesson plan on ecosystems. Include:
Learning objective
5-minute bell ringer
Guided practice activity
Exit ticket
One differentiation strategy
Keep reading level at grade 8.”
Now the AI knows:
- Who the audience is
- How long the lesson is
- What components are required
- The reading level
- The structure
The output becomes clearer, tighter, and usable.
Share with us one prompt that you are trying this week and see if someone can help you improve it.
