LEARNING MODULE 4 — Few-Shot Prompting
Get Started:
• Gather two or three real examples of something you’ve written yourself — emails, notes, messages, whatever’s real for you
• Give the examples to AI before asking it to draft something new in the same style — this is few-shot prompting: showing instead of just instructing
• Compare the result to what instructions alone would have produced
• Notice the difference in voice and fidelity
Translate this to your topic:
Build the same kind of reusable assistant around whatever's real for you — a “trip planning helper,” a “family letters helper,” a “workout ideas helper.” Same steps, different subject.
Get feedback on this module:
When you're done, upload or paste your work into your AI tool and ask:
“Please review my work. Tell me: (1) what I did well, (2) what I could improve, and (3) one suggestion for next time.”
Then ask a follow-up question about anything that didn't click.
Learning Module Checklist:
☐ Gathered two or three real examples of my own writing
☐ Gave the examples to AI before asking for new output (few-shot, not just instructions)
☐ Compared the result to what instructions alone would have produced
☐ Noted the difference in voice and fidelity
