🔓 SelamAI Lesson #1: How to Talk to AI the Right Way
Most people get weak answers from AI for one reason: they ask weak questions. The secret isn't a special tool — it's how you ask.
❌ Weak prompt: "Write about marketing."
✅ Strong prompt: "Write 5 short Facebook post ideas to promote my small coffee shop in Addis Ababa, in a friendly tone."
See the difference? A great prompt has 3 things:
1️⃣ Role/task — what you want it to do ("write 5 post ideas")
2️⃣ Details — the specifics ("coffee shop in Addis Ababa")
3️⃣ Style — the tone or format ("friendly, short"

🔓 Using AI for Business — 5 Honest Rules
AI can save your business hours every week. But used carelessly, it can embarrass you. Here's what actually matters: 1. You're still the boss. Let AI draft and suggest — but you make the final call. It doesn't know your customers like you do.
2. Double-check before you trust. AI sounds sure of itself even when it's wrong. Verify any price, number, or fact before it reaches a client.
3. Keep private things private. Never paste customer info, passwords, or contracts into AI tools.
4. Start with the boring stuff. Emails, invoices, captions, proposals — let AI handle the repetitive work first.
5. Keep your voice. Always edit what AI writes so it sounds like you, not a robot. People can tell.
