Why every post here is under 400 words

You came here to do a thing, not to scroll. Every post here is short on purpose: the answer first, one prompt to paste, nothing to wade through.

Most pages about AI are long because length looks like effort. You scroll past a history of the technology and a paragraph about why this matters to get to the one line you came for. I do not want to read that, so I am not going to write it.

The rules every post here follows

The answer is in the first two lines. If you only read the box at the top, you can do the thing.

One job per page. “Use AI for admin” is not a page. “Understand a letter from the bank” is. If a post needs two jobs, it becomes two posts that link to each other.

A prompt you can paste. Most pages end in a grey box. Copy it, paste it into whatever AI you use, and the job gets done on your actual situation. That is more useful than any amount of explanation.

An example reply. A short sample of what comes back, so you can see it working before you try it yourself.

Under 400 words. This one included.

Why it works for a site like this

You are not here to be impressed. You are here because your mum wants to know if ChatGPT can make a birthday card, or because your Claude limit ran out at 2pm again. The fastest route from the question to the thing is the whole product. The search box is there so you can skip the browsing too.

And if a page is too short for you, that is what the prompt is for: paste it, then keep asking. The AI will go as deep as you like on your own situation, which no general article can.

Everything here is written from things I actually do, in my words, and reviewed by me before it goes live. The page footer says when. If something is wrong, tell me and I will fix it.

Common questions

Is there a long version anywhere?

No. If something needs more, it becomes two posts, and they link to each other. The context page and the handover prompt are an example of one idea split in two.

What if I want the detail?

The prompts are the detail. Paste one and the AI will go as deep as you ask it to, on your actual situation, which beats a general essay every time.

Are these written by AI?

Drafted with it, in my words, from things I actually do, and read by me before they go up. Every page says who reviewed it and when. The ones that say ai-drafted have not been read by me yet and do not show on the live site.
