TOOLS VS

Tools are becoming commoditized. Your thinking is the moat.

  • 01
    Prompting = Structured Thinking
  • 02
    Not clever wording. Not hacks.
  • 03
    It's the difference between a Camera and a Photographer.

Pro Tip

Turn On Your Microphone

People who type are missing out. Voice prompting unlocks a different level of thinking.

Be long-winded. Elaborate. Think bigger. Sometimes the best idea is 2-3 minutes into your prompt when you've finally stopped editing yourself.

01
Think Out Loud
Your best ideas emerge when you stop typing and start talking
02
Don't Self-Edit
Let it flow. The AI will organize your thoughts for you
03
Save Your Prompts
Saved prompts as projects become intellectual property
Click to Record
Speak your prompt naturally
YOUR PROMPT
Your spoken prompt will appear here...
PRO TIPS
  • β€’ Speak naturally - don't rush or over-enunciate
  • β€’ The best ideas often come 2-3 minutes in
  • β€’ Click "SEND TO AI" to see your prompt in action
  • β€’ Save your prompts - they become intellectual property
