The $1,000-per-word prompt
“Be brief” alone can make an AI answer too short to use. Say how short you want it and what has to stay in.
Try it yourself
Short-answer prompts
- You said how short: a number of bullets, sentences or words.
- You named what has to stay in, such as dates, names, limits and deadlines.
- You said what to skip.
- You’ll check anything you act on, such as a deadline or a limit, against the source.
The pattern
Fill in the brackets.
In [length], tell me [the answer]. Keep [what must stay]. Skip [what you don't need].
A yes/no with conditions
Using the attached policy, answer in 3 bullets: eligibility, reimbursement limit, and submission steps, including the deadline.
A long document summarized
5 bullets. Keep dates, names and deadlines. Skip background.
A reply you can send
Under 80 words. Keep the decision and the next step.
A quick explanation
2 sentences a beginner would understand.
Bix shows you how
Step 1: Set a length.
Name a number: 3 bullets, 2 sentences, under 80 words. “Short” on its own can get you a single word.
Step 2: Name the details to keep.
Say what has to survive the cut: dates, limits, steps, deadlines.
Step 3: Check what you’ll act on.
Compare any deadline or limit in the answer with the source before you rely on it.
What you should see
A short answer that still has what you need. In the video, three bullets: yes, standard class is covered; up to $80 per trip; submit the receipt within 30 days of travel. The deadline is the part a one-word answer drops.
