Less “That’s not it.” More “That’s exactly what I wanted.”

The difference between a generic answer and something you love often starts with the brief. Learn how to tell AI what matters, give it the right context, and guide it toward a result worth using—from a beautiful image to a trip that feels made for you.

  • Turn a vague request into a clear creative brief.
  • Build a trip around your hotels, activities, and dining preferences.
  • Use Projects, Skills, and clear goals to guide repeatable work.
View session detailsHide session details
  • Start with the result you want. Give AI a goal, relevant context, constraints, and an example of a good result. Ask it to clarify what’s missing before it starts.
  • Get the image you have in mind. Describe the subject, setting, composition, mood, and intended use. Then refine specific details instead of starting over with another vague request.
  • Plan a trip that feels like you. Build a sequence of prompts: share your dates, budget, interests, and pace; compare hotels; shape each day around activities and dining; then check travel times, current availability, and the details that matter.
  • Give your AI the background. Use Projects to bring together documents, preferences, and instructions. Your booking confirmations and travel notes become useful context for planning.
  • Teach it a process with Skills. Explore reusable instructions in tools that support Skills—so a favorite itinerary format or review checklist can guide future tasks.
  • Brief an agent, then review its work. Define the goal, deliverable, boundaries, and approval points. Learn how to steer an assistant through a task and check whether the result meets your brief.

See how Projects, Skills, and goal-setting work together. Features vary by tool; the habit of giving clear direction travels with you.

Leave with a repeatable way to ask—and get more useful results.

Your guide to what’s now and next

A technologist
with a storyteller’s heart.

David Lewis has spent more than 35 years making new technology understandable, useful, and human.

Long before AI became a dinner-table conversation, David was helping companies navigate major shifts in digital technology. He founded DemandGen International, grew it into a globally respected marketing technology firm, and sold the company to BDO USA in 2021.

Today, David explores AI for the sheer pleasure of discovering what it can do—from making videos and building personal projects to translating a conversation while traveling. An author, podcaster, YouTuber, and lifelong technology enthusiast, he brings that curiosity aboard to help guests see what’s possible and try it for themselves.

Over the past three years, David has put his enthusiasm for AI into practice—creating pickleball apps for the iPhone, a children’s cartoon series for YouTube, a storybook for his grandchildren, and custom travel apps for trips with family and friends. He has also built a calendar and word processor for his 90-year-old mother, created video games, written songs, and explored much more. These projects give him firsthand experience taking AI from an idea to something people can actually use and enjoy—the same practical perspective he brings to every session.
