Give the AI Context
Principle: Context is the background information the model needs to tailor its answer. The same question with good context produces a far more relevant reply.

No context
Give me some marketing ideas.
With context
I run a small online shop selling handmade candles. My customers are mostly women aged 25 to 40 who care about natural ingredients. Suggest 5 low-budget marketing ideas for Instagram.
What context to include
- Who you are — your role, business, or situation
- Who the answer is for — the audience
- The goal — what success looks like
- Constraints — budget, time, tools, things to avoid
Context beats cleverness
You do not need fancy wording. A few honest sentences about your situation will improve almost any answer more than any trick. Think of it as briefing a new assistant.
💡 Tip: if an answer feels generic, it is usually because the model lacked context — not because it could not do better.
