Make the AI interview you first
A one-line prompt gets an email about any project on Earth. Tell the AI to ask you 3 questions first, and your answers become the details the draft needs.
Try it yourself
Ask me first
- You told the AI to ask you questions before it writes.
- You answered with the specifics only you know: who, what changed, what you need.
- You read the draft for anything generic, like “exciting progress” or a placeholder name.
- You checked every name, date and number before sending.
The prompt
Before you write, ask me 3 questions.
For a report
Before you draft this report, ask me 3 questions about who will read it and what decision it needs to support.
For a cover letter
Before you write my cover letter, ask me 3 questions about the role and what I did that matches it.
For a reply to a customer
Before you write the reply, ask me 3 questions about what the customer needs and what we can offer.
Bix shows you how
Step 1: Ask for questions first.
Add “Before you write, ask me 3 questions.” to your request.
Step 2: Answer in a few words.
Who is reading it, the one piece of news, and what you need from them.
Step 3: Check the draft.
Make sure every name, date and number is right before you send it.
What you should see
A short email that could only be about your project. In the video: “Hi Dana, the warehouse move is one week behind. To catch up, I need your OK for weekend overtime by Friday. Thanks, Pip.”
