How to Get AI to Do What You Need

From prompt to reliable output

If you’ve tried AI and ended up rewriting the output, you’re not alone. Most frustration comes from prompts that are missing the information AI needs to be accurate and consistent - or from using AI as a one-off tool instead of embedding it into the way work gets done.

This session is designed to help you get dependable results. You’ll learn how to structure prompts to reduce rework, how to provide the right context, constraints, and format for repeatable outputs, and how to turn common tasks into lightweight AI workflows your team can actually adopt. We’ll also cover when to use retrieval/context - such as your policies, product sheets, or service descriptions - so AI can work from your business reality rather than guessing.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Structure prompts to reduce rework and improve consistency
• Apply workflows (not just one-off prompts) to embed AI into tasks
• Understand how to provide context, constraints, and format for repeatable results
• Know when to use retrieval/context (e.g., policies, product sheets)

**Bonus: 3-month membership access**
All attendees will receive a 3-month access to The AI Assembly® membership community - a diverse community of learners-to-leaders designed to help you activate what you’ve learned. Inside the membership you’ll have access to additional learning resources, selected downloadable templates, and online speaker sessions to support ongoing implementation.

**This event will take place online via Zoom and you will be sent your Zoom link the day before the event**
