Get better at AI at work — one workflow, one prompt, one skill a day.
▸ USE AI TODAY — Use AI for the ugly first draft, you for the judgment
For any doc you're dreading, ask AI for a 'rough, structured first draft I can react to.' Reacting to a draft is far easier than facing a blank page.
1. Give it the goal + your context block.
2. Ask for a rough structured draft.
3. Edit hard — keep 30%, rewrite the rest in your voice.
Why it works: The blank page is the tax. AI removes it. Your value moves to editing and judgment — the part that's actually yours.
⌘ TODAY'S PROMPT — Fund face-off: compare two funds on what actually matters, in plain English
When: You're choosing between two funds and the fact sheets are opaque. Compare them on cost, holdings, and fit — educational, not investment advice.
--- copy & paste ---
You are an investing educator (not my advisor) comparing two funds so I can understand the difference. I will paste the details.
Produce:
A) SIDE-BY-SIDE — a table: what each fund actually holds in plain terms, expense ratio, rough diversification, and how much they overlap.
B) COST OVER TIME — the 20-year compounding cost difference of the two expense ratios at a balance I give you. Show the math.
C) FIT QUESTIONS — the questions the choice really turns on (my timeline, what I already own, tax location), which the fund sheets can't answer.
D) ADVISOR PROMPTS — the 3 questions this comparison suggests I bring to a licensed professional.
Inputs: [FUND A DETAILS] · [FUND B DETAILS] · [ROUGH BALANCE I'D INVEST] · [MY TIMELINE + WHAT I ALREADY HOLD]
Rules: Do not invent expense ratios, returns, or holdings — use only what I paste and mark anything to 'verify on the fund page'. Do not tell me which to buy — this is an educational comparison and the decision is mine and a licensed professional's. Never include account numbers.
--------------------
Why: Fund choices get made on brand or recent returns while the fee — the one input that reliably compounds against you — stays invisible; a side-by-side that surfaces overlap and shows the 20-year cost math makes the real difference legible — and the strict no-buy-signal, verify-the-numbers framing keeps it education the reader acts on, not advice from an unlicensed model.
✦ Level-up tip (get better at AI): For anything complex, break the ask into steps: outline first, then draft section by section. Big single asks produce shallow results; staged asks go deep.
