2. **Create your AI advantage**
Simply type: "You are a senior [your role] with 15+ years of experience. Help me create [specific task] that is [clear/professional/engaging]. Here's what I have so far: [your content]". Then follow up with additional direction or clarification.
3. **Measure your success**
At the end of the task, track the same metrics from the study to understand if you saved more than 37% of your time, completed higher quality work, and enjoyed the process.
