Block 1 — Set Up Your AI

1.1

Account Check: All Seven Tools

You leave this topic knowing exactly which of your seven tools are ready to use today.

Open seven tabs now. Go to each site and confirm you are logged in. Tick the box as you go.

[PAID] Claude Cowork is used later in Block 4 and needs a paid plan. Free fallback: use Claude free at claude.ai, or open the same file in ChatGPT or Gemini instead.

If a login fails, try these in order: - Try "Sign in with Google." It is usually faster than a password, and most laptops in this room already have a Google account signed in. - Check your spam folder for a verification email. It often lands there, not in your main inbox. - If a site will not load at all, the venue wifi may be blocking it. Switch your phone to a personal hotspot and connect your laptop to that instead.

# Tool Where to open it Tick when logged in
1 ChatGPT chatgpt.com
2 Gemini gemini.google.com
3 NotebookLM notebooklm.google.com
4 Claude claude.ai
5 Suno suno.com
6 Gamma gamma.app
7 Genspark (view only today) genspark.ai Just open the tab, no login needed for this workshop
Your turn — 8 minutes. Open all seven tabs right now. Tick each box as you confirm you are logged in. Raise your hand the moment one tool fails, so we fix it now, not later in the day.
Watch out: A login that works fine at home can fail on venue wifi. Test it now, not when you need the tool in Block 4.
1.2

The RULES Line: Why Every Prompt Ends With It

You leave this topic knowing exactly why we paste the same three lines into every single prompt today.

AI has no shame. It will give you a confident, well-written answer even when it is guessing. These three lines stop the three most common ways that guessing hurts a business.

Line 1 stops a made-up fact. A trader once asked AI for the GST rate on a product and pasted it straight into a client invoice. The rate AI gave was wrong. AI did not say "I am not sure" — it just answered, confidently, with a number that does not exist. Line 1 forces AI to say "I am not sure" instead of inventing a number.

Line 2 stops a report about a business that does not exist. An owner once asked AI to "analyse my sales and tell me what to improve," without giving any real sales numbers. AI wrote a full, polished report anyway — with numbers it invented to fill the gap. It read beautifully. It meant nothing. Line 2 forces AI to stop and ask you for your real numbers first.

Line 3 stops AI from just agreeing with you. A manufacturer once asked AI, "Should I open a second factory in Akola next year?" AI said it was a great idea and listed reasons to feel good about it. The owner already wanted to do it, so the agreement felt like proof. It was not proof — AI had no real information about demand, funds or staff. Line 3 forces AI to show you the other side, every time.

Copy this block into your phone Notes app now. Paste it at the end of every prompt you write, for the rest of your life.

---

RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Your turn — 3 minutes. Open your phone Notes app now. Create a new note called "RULES." Copy the three lines above into it. Reply with a thumbs-up in the WhatsApp group once it is saved.
Watch out: Pasting RULES once does not save it inside the AI tool forever. You must paste it again in every new chat, unless it is saved inside a Project or Custom Instructions — that comes in Topic 1.6.
1.3

The Prompt Framework: Role + Work + Details + Format

You leave this topic with one weak one-line request rebuilt into a strong, complete prompt.

A weak prompt is usually missing one of four parts. Cover all four, every time.

Part What it means Simple question to ask yourself
Role Who should AI act as while it helps you "Who should AI pretend to be for this task?"
Work The exact task AI must do "What exactly do I want done?"
Details The facts, numbers and background AI needs "What does AI need to know that it cannot guess?"
Format How you want the answer to look "List, table, message, or short paragraph?"

# 1.3 — Role + Work + Details + Format Template

When to use: Any time you have a real task and want a strong first prompt, not a weak one-liner.

Act as [ROLE - WHO SHOULD AI ACT AS FOR THIS TASK]. Do this: [WORK - THE EXACT TASK] Here is what you need to know: [DETAILS - FACTS, NUMBERS, BACKGROUND] Give me the answer as: [FORMAT - LIST, TABLE, MESSAGE, OR SHORT PARAGRAPH] RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
ROLE: A polite helper writing messages for me. WORK: Write a message to my son's school asking for a few extra days to pay the term fee. DETAILS: Fee due date is the 20th, my husband's salary comes on the 25th. FORMAT: A short WhatsApp message under 40 words.
Tip: Fill all four parts even when one feels obvious — skipping Details is the most common mistake.
Your turn — 5 minutes. Take this weak request: "Write me a post about our sale." Rebuild it using all four parts — Role, Work, Details, Format — for your own business. Run it in your AI tool. Share your rebuilt prompt in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: People often write the Role as themselves, like "a shop owner." Write the Role as a helper instead, like "a marketing assistant for a saree shop."
1.4

Who Exactly Are You Selling To

You leave this topic with an ICP Card — a short description of your ideal customer for one offering, that you paste into every post, ad and proposal from now on.

# 1.4 — Know This Person

When to use: Before an important talk with a teacher, doctor, elderly parent or family member you need to convince about something.

You are helping me understand one person I need to talk to or convince about something. The person is: [WHO IS THIS - FOR EXAMPLE A TEACHER, A DOCTOR, AN ELDERLY PARENT, OR A FAMILY MEMBER] What I need from them, or need to tell them: [WHAT YOU NEED FROM THIS PERSON OR WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY] Interview me to understand this person better. Do not ask me everything at once. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 8 questions. Keep each question short and in simple language. If my answer is too general, ask a smaller, easier version of the same question so I can still answer it. Cover these points across your questions: 1. What this person cares about most in this situation 2. What they are likely worried about 3. What has not worked when I tried to talk to them before 4. What matters to them - facts, feelings, respect, or something else 5. The best time or way to raise this with them 6. Anything that could make them say no or get upset 7. What a good outcome looks like for both of us After the last question, show me a short summary and ask me to confirm before you produce the final output. When I confirm, give me a "Know This Person" card - a block of text under 150 words that helps me talk to this person the right way. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
WHO IS THIS: My son's class teacher. WHAT I NEED: To ask her to give him more attention in maths class, without making him feel singled out in front of his friends.
Tip: Be honest about what has not worked before — it stops AI from suggesting the same approach again.
Your turn — 4 minutes. Business owners: pick ONE product or service and build your ICP Card. Homemakers: pick one person you need to talk to and build your Know This Person card instead. Share whichever card you made in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: If you catch yourself typing "everyone" or "anyone who needs it," stop. That answer means you have not actually picked a customer yet.
1.5

The Business Brain Interview

This is the most important topic in the whole course. You leave it with one Business Brain document that every tool and every block for the rest of the day will reuse.

AI cannot help your business until it knows your business. This topic builds one document that answers that, once, properly. It covers five areas, always in the same order: yourself, your business, your product or service, your customers, and your goals.

# 1.5 — About Me And My Home

When to use: Do this once, right now, before anything else in this workshop. Every later homemaker prompt today depends on it.

You are helping me build an "About Me And My Home" document. I will paste this into every future prompt so AI always knows my situation without me typing it again. Interview me to learn about myself and my home. Do not ask me everything at once. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 12 questions. Keep each question short and in simple language. If my answer is vague, ask one follow-up to make it specific. Cover these areas, in this order: 1. Myself - my name, where I live, how I would describe my day 2. My household - who lives with me, their ages, and who I look after 3. My daily and weekly routine - what I do most days, and on which days 4. What I manage - household budget, school paperwork, medical paperwork, food planning, festivals, and any domestic help 5. What is hardest right now - what takes the most time or worry 6. What I want to get better at, or find more time for After the last question, show me a short summary and ask me to confirm before you produce the final output. When I confirm, give me an "About Me And My Home" document under 300 words, organised under these headings: Myself, My Household, My Routine, What I Manage, What I Want To Improve. Write it so I can paste this whole document into any future prompt. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
Myself: Sunita, lives in Amravati. Household: husband who works, two school-age children, an elderly parent at home. Routine: mornings for school and tiffin, afternoons for the elderly parent's medicines, evenings for tuition and homework. What I manage: monthly household budget, school fee and medical paperwork, food planning, festivals, and the domestic helper's weekly schedule. Hardest right now: keeping medical appointments and school deadlines straight in the same week. Want to improve: find more time for myself in the evenings.
Tip: Answer every question with a real detail, a name or a number, not one word, or your document will be too general to help you later.
Your turn — 18 minutes. Business owners: run the Business Brain Interview now, in whichever tool you like best. Answer every question in a full sentence, not one word. When your first draft is ready, run Check And Sharpen and answer its follow-up questions too. Homemakers: run About Me And My Home instead, the same way, one question at a time. Save your finished document somewhere outside the chat — your phone Notes app, a Google Doc, or a Word file. Share one line from it in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: A one-word answer to an interview question gives you a thin, generic Business Brain. If your answer is short, add one more sentence with a real number or name before you move to the next question.
1.6

Save It Forever

You leave this topic with your Business Brain (or your About Me And My Home document) saved so it applies to every future chat, not just this one.

Every major tool has a place to save information so it remembers you in every new chat, without you pasting it again. The exact menu name changes often as tools update, so look for words like these rather than a fixed click-path:

- ChatGPT — look for something called "Projects" or "Custom Instructions," usually inside Settings or the sidebar. Paste your document there. - Gemini — look for something called "Gems." Create one and paste your document into its instructions. - Claude — look for something called "Projects." Create one and paste your document into its project knowledge or instructions.

If you cannot find the exact option, search the tool's own help page for "memory," "custom instructions," or "save information about me."

---

Your turn — 3 minutes. Save your Business Brain, or your About Me And My Home document, into one of these three places right now. Open a brand new chat in that tool and ask it one question about your business or your household, without pasting anything. If it answers correctly, it worked.
Watch out: The menu names shown above can change at any time. If a name does not match what you see on screen, look for the closest word to it — "memory," "instructions," or "project."
1.7

Meta Prompting: Let AI Write Your Prompt

You leave this topic with one upgraded prompt, built by AI from your rough idea.

You do not have to write a perfect prompt yourself. Give AI your rough idea, and let it build the full prompt for you.

# 1.7 — Build My Prompt For Me

When to use: When you have a rough idea for a task, but you do not know how to turn it into a strong prompt.

I have a rough idea for a task I want AI to help with. Here it is: [YOUR ROUGH IDEA, IN YOUR OWN WORDS] Turn this into a complete, structured prompt for me. Give it a clear Role, the exact Work to be done, the Details I should fill in, and the Format I want the answer in. Show me the finished prompt so I can copy and use it. Add the standard RULES lines at the end. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
ROUGH IDEA: I want help writing a request to my daughter's school for a transfer certificate, but I do not know how to ask AI to write it properly.
Tip: Give your rough idea in at least two sentences — one word gives AI nothing to build a prompt from.

# 1.7 — Upgrade A Weak Prompt

When to use: The answer you got felt weak or generic, and you want a stronger version of the same prompt.

Here is a prompt I used, and the answer felt weak or generic: [PASTE YOUR OLD PROMPT] Rewrite this prompt to be stronger. Add a clear Role, more specific Details, and a clear Format. Keep my original goal the same. RULES: Do not invent facts. Ask me for real data. Challenge my thinking.
Example filled in for you
OLD PROMPT: Write a letter to the school.
Tip: Paste the whole old prompt, not just a summary of it, so AI can see exactly what was missing.
Your turn — 4 minutes. Pick one prompt from earlier in this block that gave you a weak result. Run it through either Build My Prompt For Me or Upgrade A Weak Prompt. Share the upgraded prompt in the WhatsApp group.
1.8

Interview Mode: The Universal Converter

You leave this topic with one converter prompt that turns any hard prompt into an easy conversation.

Reach for this whenever a prompt asks you to describe, judge or remember something, not just state a fact. It turns that one hard blank into a short conversation, one question at a time.

# 1.8 — Universal Interview Converter

When to use: Any time a prompt has a blank that asks you to think, describe, judge or remember, and you would rather answer questions than stare at the blank.

Here is a prompt I want to use: [PASTE YOUR PROMPT] Do not answer it yet. Instead, rewrite it so that you interview me first. Ask me ONE question at a time, wait for my answer, then ask the next. Ask only about things you genuinely need and cannot guess. Maximum 8 questions. Simple language. After the last one, summarise what you learned, let me correct it, and only then give me the final output. Start by asking your first question now. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
PASTE YOUR PROMPT: Write a weekly medicine schedule for my father.
Tip: Save this converter prompt in your phone Notes app next to your RULES card — you will use it constantly after today.
Your turn — 3 minutes. Pick one prompt you already have from earlier today. Run it through the Universal Interview Converter. Share the first question AI asked you in the WhatsApp group.

Block 2 — Content Engine

2.1

Teach AI Your Writing Voice

You leave this topic with a Voice Card you paste into every prompt from now on.

# 2.1 — Voice Interview

When to use: Do this once, at the start of Block 2, before you write anything else. 

You are helping me create a Voice Card for [BUSINESS NAME AND TYPE, OR WRITE "MYSELF" IF I DO NOT RUN A BUSINESS]. Interview me to learn how I write and talk to my customers. Do not ask me everything at once. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 8 questions. Keep each question short and in simple language. If my answer is vague, ask one follow-up to make it specific. Cover these points across your questions: 1. How I talk to customers - formal or friendly 2. Words I always use 3. Words I never use 4. Long sentences or short sentences 5. English, Hinglish, or a mix of languages 6. One real message I have sent a customer, as an example After the last question, show me a short summary and ask me to confirm before you produce the final output. When I confirm, give me a "Voice Card" - a block of text under 150 words that I can paste into any future prompt, or save as my custom instructions. It should describe my tone, my words, my sentence length and my language mix, so any AI writes like me. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
BUSINESS NAME AND TYPE: myself - I do not run a business, I write messages to school, doctors, family and our domestic helper
Tip: Save your Voice Card in a Notes app, not just in one chat, so you never lose it.

# 2.1 — Rewrite In My Voice

When to use: Any time you have a stiff or borrowed piece of text and want it to sound like you.

Here is my saved Voice Card: [PASTE YOUR VOICE CARD] Here is a piece of text I want to fix: [PASTE THE TEXT] Rewrite this text in my voice, using the same tone, words and sentence length from my Voice Card. Keep the facts the same. Do not add any new facts. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
VOICE CARD: Voice Card saved from Prompt 2.1. TEXT: a stiff message to the school principal about the fee payment date
Tip: Paste your full Voice Card every time, not just a summary, so the rewrite stays accurate.
Your turn — 6 minutes. Run the Voice Interview now with your own AI tool. When you have your Voice Card, paste it into the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: If the Voice Card is longer than 150 words, most tools will ignore parts of it in later prompts.
2.2

30-Day Social Media Content Plan

You leave this topic with a real 30-day calendar for your own business.

# 2.2 — 30-Day Family Plan

When to use: Once a month, to plan the whole household in one sitting instead of remembering everything in your head.

You are helping me build a 30-day family plan for my household. Interview me first. Do not ask me everything at once. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 8 questions. Keep each question short and in simple language. If my answer is vague, ask one follow-up to make it specific. Cover: 1. Meals I need to plan, and any special diets or preferences 2. School events, exams or holidays coming up 3. Festivals or family functions in the next 30 days 4. Bills and payments due, and their usual dates 5. Health appointments or medicine refills due 6. Any day my domestic helper is off, that I should plan around 7. One thing I always forget and want reminded of 8. Who else in the family should see this plan After the last question, show me a short summary and ask me to confirm before you produce the final output. When I confirm, give me a 30-day family plan as a table: Week, Day, Date, Category, Task, Reminder note. Split it clearly under Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 and Week 4 headings, so I can look at one week at a time. Do not add a task I did not mention. Start from [START DATE]. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
START DATE: 11 August 2026. Answers given during the interview: Meals - husband eats no onion garlic on Tuesdays, both children need tiffin packed daily. School - unit tests in the third week, a school picnic on the 28th. Festival - Ganesh Chaturthi at home, guests expected. Bills - electricity bill due on the 5th, school fee due on the 10th. Health - father's monthly check-up on the 15th, mother's medicine refill mid-month. Helper's day off - every Sunday. Always forget - renewing the water purifier filter. Family sees this - husband and the elder child, who is old enough to help.
Tip: Stick this plan on the fridge or share it in the family WhatsApp group, not just in your own chat.
Your turn — 9 minutes. Build your own 30-day calendar (or Family Plan, if you are on the Homemaker page) now, using your Business Brain and Voice Card. Answer the interview questions, then get the full 30 days. Save it somewhere outside the chat. Do this at home this week: run the tool-mapping prompt on Week 1, then turn Week 1 into captions.
Watch out: When you run the tool-mapping and caption prompts at home, never paste all 30 days in at once. One week at a time. Give AI too much and it starts inventing posts you never planned.
2.3

Image Posts That Sell: the AIDA Method

You leave this topic with 1 to 3 finished image posts using a method that actually sells.

AIDA means four things a good sales post must do, in order.

AIDA is not the only method. Use it as your default. Keep these others in your back pocket for when a post does not feel right in AIDA.

If AIDA feels forced for a post, try PAS for a problem-first post, or BAB for a before-after post.

Step What it means Saree shop example
A - Attention Stop the scroll Bright photo, bold text: "Wedding Season Sale"
I - Interest Say why it matters to them "50 new silk designs, price starts Rs 1500"
D - Desire Make them want it "The same design your favourite actress wore"
A - Action Tell them what to do next "Visit today, offer ends Sunday"
Method Steps Best for
PAS Problem, Agitate, Solution A post that opens with a pain point - "Missed a GST deadline before? That penalty hurts. File with us on time, every time."
FAB Features, Advantages, Benefits Technical products - spare parts, machinery, anything with specs to explain
BAB Before, After, Bridge Before-after posts - a messy account book made clean, an old machine replaced with a new one
4Ps Picture, Promise, Prove, Push Longer posts and WhatsApp broadcast messages - paint a picture, promise a result, prove it, push them to act

# 2.3 — Image Generation

When to use: After your AIDA copy is ready, to turn the words into a visual.

Create a product or personal image for me. Business or occasion: [BUSINESS NAME AND TYPE, OR THE OCCASION - FOR EXAMPLE A FESTIVAL, INVITATION, OR SCHOOL PROJECT] What the image should show: [DESCRIBE THE PRODUCT OR SCENE] Style: [PHOTO-REAL OR A DESIGNED GRAPHIC WITH TEXT] Text to place on the image: [PASTE THE EXACT TEXT FROM YOUR AIDA COPY] Colours or mood: [DESCRIBE THE COLOURS OR MOOD] Make the image look professional and suitable for [PLATFORM]. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
Occasion: Ganesh Chaturthi greeting for family and friends. Scene: Flowers, a diya and a small idol, no people. Style: Designed graphic with text. Text: Happy Ganesh Chaturthi - The Kulkarni Family. Colours: Gold and red, festive. Platform: WhatsApp Status
Tip: Describe the scene in real detail, like a photo brief, or the tool will guess and get it wrong.

# 2.3 — Fix My Image

When to use: The image is almost right, but one thing needs to change.

Here is the image you just made. I want to change it. Keep the same product and layout. Change only this: [WHAT TO CHANGE - COLOUR, TEXT, BACKGROUND, PERSON, OR ANGLE] Do not change anything else. Show me the text on the image again after the change, so I can check the spelling. RULES: Do not invent facts. Ask me for real data. Challenge my thinking.
Example filled in for you
WHAT TO CHANGE: Change the flowers from red to yellow
Tip: Change one thing at a time, not five, or the tool loses the parts you wanted to keep.

# 2.3 — Festival Greeting Or Invitation Message

When to use: Any time you want a warm message and matching image for a festival, invitation, or family occasion.

Write a short festival greeting or invitation message for my family and friends. Occasion: [OCCASION - FOR EXAMPLE A FESTIVAL, A BIRTHDAY, A HOUSE WARMING, OR A FAMILY FUNCTION] Who will read this: [WHO WILL READ THIS - FAMILY, FRIENDS, OR BOTH] What I want to say: [WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY - THE OCCASION, DATE, PLACE, OR JUST GOOD WISHES] Tone: [TONE - FOR EXAMPLE WARM, FUNNY, OR RESPECTFUL FOR ELDERS] Give me: 1. A short message under 40 words, ready to send on WhatsApp 2. The exact text that should appear ON a greeting image - under 15 words total, split into a headline and one supporting line RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
Occasion: Ganesh Chaturthi. Who will read this: family and friends WhatsApp group. What I want to say: wishing everyone a happy Ganesh Chaturthi, please visit for prasad on the 27th. Tone: warm, respectful for elders.
Tip: Write the message first, then use its headline for the image text, so both match.
Your turn — 9 minutes. Make one AIDA image post for your own business, start to finish. Use Fix My Image at least once. On the Homemaker page, make one festival greeting message and image instead. If you finish early, try Prompt 2.3 - Try a Different Framework for a second post. Share the final image in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: Image tools often spell words wrong on the image itself. Always zoom in and check the spelling before you post.
2.4

Language That Sounds Like You Talk

You leave this topic with captions that sound like real speech, not a textbook.

Amravati runs on more than one language mixed together. This topic covers Marathi and English, since that is the language of this room, plus Hindi and English, Hindi with Gujarati and English, and Telugu and English, for the customers who speak those.

# 2.4 — Natural Spoken Translation

When to use: Any time a caption or message sounds too formal or too English for your customers.

I want to turn this text into natural spoken language, the way people actually talk. Text to convert: [PASTE THE TEXT] Language mix to use: [LANGUAGE MIX - FOR EXAMPLE MARATHI AND ENGLISH, HINDI AND ENGLISH, HINDI GUJARATI AND ENGLISH, OR TELUGU AND ENGLISH] Write it the way people actually speak on WhatsApp and in shops, not textbook language. Use Roman script, not Devanagari or any other script, unless I ask for that script. Keep English words that people normally keep in English, like delivery, offer, booking and GST. Do not translate my brand name or business name. Do not use formal or literary words. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
TEXT: Reminder - pay the school fee before the 10th or a late fee applies. LANGUAGE MIX: Marathi and English mixed
Tip: Name the exact language mix in the blank - "Hindi and English" alone gives you plain Hinglish.

# 2.4 — Read It Back To Me

When to use: Right before you send or post, as a last check that nothing sounds wrong.

Read this message out loud in your head, the way a real person would say it in [LANGUAGE MIX]. Message: [PASTE THE MESSAGE] Tell me if any word or line sounds wrong, too formal, or like a textbook, not like normal speech. Suggest a fix only for those words. RULES: Do not invent facts. Ask me for real data. Challenge my thinking.
Example filled in for you
LANGUAGE MIX: Marathi and English. MESSAGE: the school fee reminder message from Prompt 2.4
Tip: Read the AI's fixed version out loud yourself too, do not trust it on words alone.
Your turn — 6 minutes. Convert one of your Block 2 captions into your local language mix. Run it through Read It Back To Me. Share the before and after in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: AI still gets local phrases wrong sometimes. Always show the result to one staff member or family member before it goes to a customer.
2.5

Gamma.app: Deck in 2 Minutes

You leave this topic with one presentation deck built from your Business Brain.

Go to gamma.app. Click "Create with AI." Choose "Presentation." Paste the prompt below as your topic. Free plan credits are limited, so plan your deck before you start, not while you are experimenting.

# 2.5 — Deck From Business Brain

If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.

Ten Ways To Introduce Yourself

You leave this topic with 10 short self-introductions you can actually use, in different situations.

A good introduction follows one order, every time: pain, then trust, then info.

Step What it means
Pain Open with the problem the listener actually feels. Not "I am a CA."
Trust One line that earns credibility - years, a kind of client, a result.
Info What you actually do, and the natural next step.

# 2.7 — Ten Ways To Introduce Yourself

When to use: Before any event, meeting or call where someone will ask who you are. 

I want 10 short self-introductions for myself, using the pain, trust, info method. Here is my Business Brain, if I have one: [PASTE YOUR BUSINESS BRAIN, OR WRITE "NONE"] Here is my ICP Card, if I have one: [PASTE YOUR ICP CARD, OR WRITE "NONE"] If I wrote "NONE" to both, ask me first: what I do, who I help, and one result or thing I am proud of. Build every introduction in this exact order: 1. PAIN - open with the problem the listener actually feels. Not "I am a [MY ROLE]." Say something they recognise as their own problem. 2. TRUST - one line that earns credibility. Years in the work, a kind of client or situation I have handled, or a result. 3. INFO - what I actually do, and the natural next step. Give me 10 different introductions, not 10 reworded copies of one. Write one for each of these situations: 1. A JCI or business networking event 2. Meeting a stranger at a wedding 3. A WhatsApp introduction message 4. A LinkedIn "about" line 5. Opening a phone call 6. Someone asks casually, "so what do you do?" 7. A formal client meeting 8. Introducing myself on stage or in a group round 9. A referral introduction, where someone else has just introduced me 10. A 10-second version, for when there is no time at all Keep each one under 30 words, or under 15 seconds spoken aloud, except the 10-second version, which must be under 12 words. Write in normal spoken English, the way people actually talk, not written English. Every introduction must be readable aloud in one breath. After all 10, ask me which two I want sharpened further. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
BUSINESS BRAIN: none. ICP CARD: none. Answers given when asked: I run our home in Amravati - my children's school work, my father-in-law's medicines, and the household budget. I am proud that I manage everything on a fixed budget and nothing is ever missed, no bill, no fee, no appointment.
Tip: Say each one out loud before you save it - if you run out of breath, it is too long.

# 2.7 — Fix My Introduction

When to use: You already have an introduction you use. This checks and repairs it. 

Here is an introduction I already use: [PASTE YOUR CURRENT INTRODUCTION] Rewrite it using the pain, trust, info order: 1. PAIN - the problem the listener actually feels 2. TRUST - one line that earns credibility 3. INFO - what I do, and the natural next step Keep it under 30 words. Write in normal spoken English, the way people actually talk. It must be readable aloud in one breath. Then tell me, in one line, what was wrong with my original introduction. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
CURRENT INTRODUCTION: I am just a housewife, I do not work, I stay at home.
Tip: Bring the introduction you actually say today, not an imaginary one - the fix only works on something real.
Your turn — 4 minutes. Run Ten Ways To Introduce Yourself now. Paste your Business Brain and ICP Card if you have them. Pick your two strongest, say them out loud once, then share one in the WhatsApp group before you go in to lunch.
Watch out: If an introduction starts with your job title, it is not pain-first. Fix it before you leave this room - you will use it at lunch in a few minutes.

Block 3 — Run The Business

3.1

Customer Support Reply Bank

You leave this topic with ready answers to the 10 questions or requests you deal with again and again, short enough to paste into WhatsApp.

# 3.1 — My Ready Replies

When to use: Once, to build a saved bank of answers you reuse for months.

You are helping me build a bank of ready replies for messages I find myself writing again and again for my home. Here are my 10 messages I find myself writing again and again, in my own words: [PASTE YOUR LIST OF 10 MESSAGES - FOR EXAMPLE A SCHOOL LEAVE APPLICATION, A FEE DELAY REQUEST, RESCHEDULING A CLINIC APPOINTMENT, A REPLY TO RELATIVES ABOUT A FAMILY MATTER, OR INSTRUCTIONS TO THE HELPER] For each message, write one ready reply. Each reply must be short enough to paste straight into a WhatsApp message - under [NUMBER OF WORDS] words. If a message needs a date, name or number I have not given you, leave that part blank and mark it [NEED FROM ME] instead of guessing. Give me the replies as a numbered list, message then reply. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
MESSAGES: 10 messages such as "requesting the school for casual leave for my child" and "asking the doctor's clinic to reschedule father's appointment". NUMBER OF WORDS: 40
Tip: Bring the messages you actually type most, not the ones you think of first, or the bank will miss the ones that waste your time.
Your turn — 6 minutes. Build your reply bank (or Ready Replies, if you are on the Homemaker page) from your own 10 real questions or messages. If you did not bring your list, write down the 5 you deal with most, right now, and use those. Share your two best answers in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: Check every answer against your real facts or policy before you save it. A wrong answer sent fifty times is worse than one sent once.
3.2

The Angry Customer

You leave this topic with three draft replies to a real complaint, so you pick one instead of sending the first thing AI wrote.

# 3.2 — Three Tones, One Complaint

When to use: Any time a complaint lands and you feel too angry or too rushed to reply well - or any time you need to make a complaint yourself and want to get the tone right.

I need help with a complaint. Tell me which of these it is: - A complaint someone sent me, and I need to reply - A complaint I need to make myself, to someone else [DESCRIBE THE COMPLAINT AND WHICH OF THE TWO ABOVE THIS IS, WITH NO PHONE NUMBER OR PERSONAL DETAILS] Here is my Business Brain document, if I have one: [PASTE YOUR BUSINESS BRAIN, OR WRITE "NONE" IF I DO NOT RUN A BUSINESS] Draft three different versions: 1. Warm and polite - leads with sorry if I am replying, or opens gently if I am the one complaining 2. Firm and factual - states the facts and what I expect, calmly, no extra apology 3. A middle path - acknowledges the problem, states the facts, and asks for a fix, without over-apologising Keep each version under [NUMBER OF WORDS] words, ready to paste into WhatsApp or an email. Do not use anyone's name or personal detail I did not give you. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
COMPLAINT: a complaint I need to make - the tuition class charged full fees for a month my child was on sick leave and never adjusted it. BUSINESS BRAIN: none. NUMBER OF WORDS: 60
Tip: Read all three versions out loud before you pick one - the right tone depends on the other person, not on you.
Your turn — 4 minutes. Paste a real complaint you have received, or a complaint you need to make yourself, and get your three versions. Circle the one you would actually send. Share which tone you picked, not the complaint itself, in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: Never send an AI reply without reading it fully yourself first. Never paste anyone's phone number or personal details into AI - describe the complaint in your own words instead.
3.3

NotebookLM: Your Documents Become Your Staff

You leave this topic with a working notebook built on your own documents - a price list and catalogue, or school and medical papers.

A normal chatbot answers from everything it was ever trained on, and it can invent an answer when it does not know yours. NotebookLM answers only from the documents you upload, so it does not invent answers the way a general chatbot can.

Steps to build your notebook: 1. Go to notebooklm.google.com and sign in with your Google account. 2. Create a new notebook and give it a name - your business name, or "Our Home" if you do not run a business. 3. Add a document as a source - your price list or product catalogue, or (if you run a home) a school circular, a medical report or prescription, an insurance policy, a warranty card, rent or property papers, or an exam syllabus. Look for an option to add or upload a file - the exact button name changes from time to time, so look for whatever lets you bring a file in. 4. Wait for it to finish reading your file before you ask your first question.

Did not bring a file? Use ours. There is a sample document on the workshop website, in this section, for your type of page - a price list and FAQ for a business page, or a school circular and a medical report for the homemaker page. Download it and upload that instead. It is made-up data for practice only - swap in your own file this week.

Sample file for your business type

Did not bring your price list or catalogue? Download a sample below and upload it to NotebookLM instead. The first file is the presenter's own company profile, used in the live demo. The second is a made-up business like yours.

# 3.3 — Answer From My Documents

When to use: Any time someone asks a question you know is answered somewhere in a document you have - a price list, a catalogue, a school circular, or a medical report.

Using only the documents I have uploaded to this notebook, answer this question: [TYPE YOUR QUESTION] If the answer is not in my documents, say clearly that it is not there. Do not guess and do not use any outside knowledge. Show me which part of the document you took the answer from. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
QUESTION: What date is the school fee due this term. UPLOADED DOCUMENT: the school fee circular
Tip: Ask the exact question you would actually ask, not a shortened version, so the answer matches what you need.

# 3.3 — Turn My Document Into A Simple Checklist

When to use: Any time you have a long document - an insurance policy, a warranty card, a school circular, an exam syllabus - and want the key points in plain language.

Using only the documents I have uploaded to this notebook, turn this document into a simple checklist. The document: [NAME THE DOCUMENT - FOR EXAMPLE AN INSURANCE POLICY, A WARRANTY CARD, A SCHOOL CIRCULAR, OR AN EXAM SYLLABUS] Pull out: what I need to do, by when, and what I need to keep ready - documents, payments, or items. Write it as a numbered checklist, in plain, simple language, so I do not have to reread the whole document again. Do not add any fact that is not in my documents. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
DOCUMENT: our family health insurance policy - what is covered, what is not, and how to make a claim
Tip: Ask for a checklist even for a document you have read before - you will catch something you missed the first time.
Your turn — 8 minutes. Upload one real document now - your price list or catalogue, or (Homemaker page) a school circular, medical report or insurance policy. Ask it three questions you need answered often. Share one question it answered well, and one where it said the answer was not in your documents, in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: If NotebookLM ever guesses instead of saying the answer is not in your documents, your documents are unclear or incomplete. Fix the document. Do not fix the prompt.
3.4

Proposals and Quotations That Win

You leave this topic with one proposal draft for a real client or dealer, or one important letter draft if you do not run a business.

# 3.4 — Write An Important Letter Or Request

When to use: Any time you need to write a letter or request that really matters - a school admission or fee-concession request, an insurance or hospital claim letter, a serious complaint to a service provider, or a request to a landlord or a government office.

You are helping me write an important letter or request. Interview me first. Do not ask me everything at once. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 8 questions. Keep each question short and in simple language. If my answer is vague, ask one follow-up to make it specific. Cover these points across your questions: 1. Who I am writing to, and what their problem or concern might be 2. What exactly I am asking for 3. Why my request is reasonable - the facts that support it 4. Any deadline or timing that matters 5. What I want to happen next, if they agree 6. Anything I have already said or tried with them before 7. The right tone - formal, respectful, or urgent After the last question, show me a short summary and ask me to confirm before you produce the final output. When I confirm, write the letter with these sections: Opening, Their problem or concern, My request, Why it is reasonable, What I am asking to happen next. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
Answers given during the interview: Writing to - the school principal, about a fee concession. Their concern - the school worries about setting a precedent for other parents. Asking for - a partial fee concession for this term. Reasonable - my husband's income dropped this year after a medical event, and my child has a strong attendance and academic record. Deadline - before the term fee due date on the 10th. Next step - a meeting with the school office to confirm the concession amount. Tried before - I already spoke informally to the class teacher. Tone - respectful, formal.
Tip: Bring your real facts and dates, even rough ones - a request built on vague reasons is easy to say no to.
Your turn — 8 minutes. Run the Proposal Interview for a real client or dealer (or Write An Important Letter Or Request, if you are on the Homemaker page). If you brought a past proposal, run Make My Proposal Stronger on it too. Share one change you are making, in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: Do not let AI invent your numbers, prices or dates. Give it your real ones, or tell it to leave them blank for you to fill in yourself.
3.5

SOPs and Job Descriptions

You leave this topic with one SOP and one instruction sheet, ready to use - a job description if you hire staff, or instructions for household help if you run a home.

# 3.5 — SOP Interview

When to use: Any time you want a task written down clearly enough that someone else can follow it without asking you - a new employee, or a domestic helper.

You are helping me write a Standard Operating Procedure, or SOP, for a task in my business or household. The task: [NAME THE TASK] Interview me to learn the steps. Do not ask me everything at once. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 8 questions. Keep each question short and in simple language. Ask me to walk through the task step by step, in the order it actually happens. For each step, also ask what commonly goes wrong. After the last question, show me a short summary and ask me to confirm before you produce the final output. When I confirm, write the SOP as a numbered list of steps. For each step, include what to do, and a short note on what commonly goes wrong at that step. Write it so someone with no experience - a new employee, a family member, or a domestic helper - can follow it. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
TASK: the morning routine to get both children ready and out for school. Answers given during the interview: Wake the children and get them ready - common mistake, the younger one delays over breakfast. Pack tiffins and school bags - common mistake, a signed notebook or fee receipt gets left behind. Check the school WhatsApp group for last-minute notices - common mistake, this gets skipped when running late. Send them off with the school van or drop them - common mistake, the drop time is cut too close.
Tip: Ask for what commonly goes wrong at every step, not just at the end, or the SOP will read like a list, not a warning.

# 3.5 — Instructions For My Domestic Helper

When to use: Any time you want clear, written instructions for a domestic helper or new household help, so nothing depends on your memory alone.

Write clear instructions for a person who helps in my home. Role: [WHAT THIS PERSON HELPS WITH - FOR EXAMPLE COOKING, CLEANING, OR CHILDCARE] What this person will do, day to day: [MAIN TASKS] Things to be careful about: [ANYTHING SPECIAL - ALLERGIES, FRAGILE ITEMS, TIMINGS, OR HOUSE RULES] Work timing: [WORK TIMING] Payment, if you want to note it: [PAYMENT OR LEAVE BLANK] Write it in plain, simple language, suitable for reading aloud or printing on one page. Do not use corporate HR language. Keep it short enough to read in a few minutes. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
Role: Cooking and light cleaning help. Tasks: prepare breakfast and lunch, wash utensils, sweep and mop, iron clothes twice a week. Careful about: father's food must be low salt, keep the balcony door locked when the children are home alone. Timing: 8 am to 1 pm, six days a week, Sunday off. Payment: leave blank.
Tip: Read the instructions out loud to your helper on day one - do not just hand over the page.
Your turn — 6 minutes. Produce one SOP for a task you do often, and one JD for the role you brought today (or Instructions For My Domestic Helper, if you are on the Homemaker page). If you did not bring a role, use the next person you plan to hire, or your own domestic helper. Share your JD or instructions in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: An SOP that only lists steps and skips what commonly goes wrong is not finished. The mistakes are what actually train someone new.

Block 4 — Data, Judgement & Habit

4.1

Read Your Own Numbers

You leave this topic with one plain-language analysis report built from your own sales or expense file.

A household budget or expense sheet works just as well here as a sales file - it is the same skill, just pointed at home instead of a shop.

Claude Cowork works with the file already saved on your computer, instead of asking you to upload it anywhere. [PAID] It needs the paid Claude desktop app - free fallback: upload the same file to ChatGPT or Gemini and run the same prompts there instead.

Did not bring your sales file? Use ours. There is a sample sales and expense website for your type of business on the workshop website, in this section. Download it and use that instead. It holds six months of made-up data with a TOTAL row you can check the AI against. Swap in your own file this week - that is where the real value is.

Sample file for your business type

Did not bring your sales file? Download this sample and use it instead. Six months of made-up data, with a TOTAL row so you can check whatever number the AI gives you.

ExcelA household budget — 6 months of family income and every kind of household expensehousehold-budget-sample.xlsxDownload

# 4.1 — First Look At My File

When to use: Always run this first, before any analysis, the moment you open your file in AI.

I am about to share a business file with you. Before you analyse anything, look at the file and describe it back to me first. Tell me: 1. What columns are in the file 2. The date range it covers 3. How many rows it has 4. Any missing values, blank cells, or numbers that look wrong or strange Do not analyse the numbers or draw any conclusion yet. Just describe what is actually in the file, so I can check it is the right file before we go further. File: [PASTE OR ATTACH YOUR SALES OR EXPENSE FILE] RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
FILE: household expense sheet, last 6 months
Tip: Read this description fully every time - a wrong date range or a missing column here makes every later answer wrong too.

# 4.1 — Where Is My Household Money Going

When to use: After the first look confirms your file is clean, to understand where your household money actually goes.

Here is my household budget or expense file, covering [DATE RANGE]: [PASTE OR ATTACH YOUR HOUSEHOLD BUDGET OR EXPENSE FILE] Study only the numbers that are actually in this file. Give me a plain-language report with: 1. What I spend the most on 2. What has quietly gone up, month by month, without me noticing 3. Which months were the heaviest, and why 4. Where I could realistically save money, without cutting something that matters to my family 5. Three things I should look at next Use simple language, not technical or accounting terms. Do not use any number that is not actually in my file. If a number is not in my file, say so - do not guess it. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
DATE RANGE: January to June 2026. FILE: household expense sheet - groceries, school fees, medicines, helper's salary, festival spending, and bills
Tip: Keep at least six months in the file if you can - one or two months hides which costs are steady and which just spiked once.

# 4.1 — Explain This Number

When to use: Any time one number in the report surprises you or you do not fully understand it.

Explain this one number to me in simple terms. Number: [PASTE THE NUMBER OR LINE FROM THE REPORT] Tell me exactly how you worked this out from my file - which rows or column you used - and what it means for my business, in one line. RULES: Do not invent facts. Ask me for real data. Challenge my thinking.
Example filled in for you
NUMBER: Medical spending was much higher in March than any other month
Tip: If the tool cannot point to the exact rows it used, treat the number as a guess, not a fact.
Your turn — 12 minutes. Open your own sales, expense, or household budget file - in Claude Cowork if you have it, or upload it to ChatGPT or Gemini if you do not. Run First Look and fix anything wrong in your file. Then run the Plain-Language report, or Where Is My Household Money Going on the Homemaker page. Pick one number that surprises you and run Explain This Number on it. Share one real finding from your own business or household in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: Always check the report's totals against your own books before you act on it or share it with anyone. Never upload a file that has customer phone numbers, bank details, or GST login credentials in it - remove those columns first, or block them out.
4.2

Genspark AI

You leave this topic knowing what Genspark AI is and when you would reach for it.

Genspark AI is different from a normal chat tool. Instead of answering one question, it tries to carry out a longer task on its own, in steps, and bring back a finished result.

Two things people use it for. One is deeper research - it searches across many sources on its own and puts the findings together in one place. The other is building a finished piece of work, like a full slide deck or a document, not just a draft you still have to build yourself.

Genspark works on a credit system, with a free tier. Credit amounts and prices change often - check the current free allowance and the current price on the site itself before you rely on it for real work.

A small business owner would reach for this for a bigger, one-off job - a proper research report, or a full document - something too long and too involved for a normal back-and-forth chat.

---

Watch out: Agent tools like this take longer to finish a task and cost more per task than a normal chat. They are not the right first tool for your everyday work - keep using ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude for that.
4.3

Which Tool When

You leave this topic with a decision card that tells you which tool to open for any job.

Your decision card:

When to use NO AI at all:

---

Job, in your own words Best tool Why
"Write something in my voice" ChatGPT or Claude Writes text that sounds like you, using your Voice Card
"Make a product photo" Gemini Best for a photo-real image of a product or a person
"Make a poster with text and price on it" ChatGPT Best for a designed graphic with clean, readable text on it
"Answer only from my price list" NotebookLM Answers only from your own documents, never guesses
"Answer only from my child's school circulars" NotebookLM Answers only from your own documents, never guesses
"Plan meals for the week" ChatGPT or Gemini Plans and lists quickly - an everyday chat job
"Help my child understand a school topic" ChatGPT or Claude Explains it simply, then checks if they understood
"Work on a file on my laptop" Claude Cowork [PAID] Reads the file straight off your computer, no upload
"Make a deck" Gamma.app Builds a full slide deck from your Business Brain in minutes
"Make a jingle" Suno Turns your brand message into a short song
"A long research job" Genspark AI Carries out a longer, multi-step research task on its own
Situation What to do instead
Anything with a customer's bank details, Aadhaar or PAN number Handle it yourself. Do not type it into any AI tool
A legally binding final commitment - a signed contract, a final quotation, a final salary figure Get a person to check it before it becomes final
A decision you already know the answer to Just decide. Do not spend ten minutes asking AI to confirm what you already know
4.4

Careful!

You leave this topic able to catch AI when it invents a fact, or simply agrees with you.

AI invents facts, confidently. AI almost never says "I don't know" unless you tell it to. It will give you a wrong GST rate, a wrong law, or a wrong date in the same confident tone as a correct answer. Example: Deshmukh & Associates asks AI for the late filing penalty on a specific return. AI states a number with full confidence. The number is wrong. Example: Sunita asks AI the correct gap between two of her father-in-law's medicines. AI answers with full confidence. The answer is wrong. Always cross-check any number, name, date, law or rate against an official source before you use it - and check any health fact with a doctor or pharmacist, never AI alone.

How to cross-check. Use at least one of these every time: ask AI for the exact source of the fact, ask the same question a second way and see if the answer changes, or check one fact yourself against a real document. Example: Vidarbha Agro Equipments asks AI for a spare part safety standard number. Before trusting it, Sunil asks where the number comes from, asks the same question in different words, and checks it against the actual certificate in his file. Example: Sunita asks AI which document her child's school needs for an admission form. Before trusting it, she asks where the rule comes from, asks the same question a different way, and checks it against the school's own circular.

Confirmation bias. If you ask a question already sounding sure of the answer, AI tends to agree with you. That agreement feels like proof. It is not proof - it is AI being polite. This is exactly what RULES line 3 exists to stop. Example: Meena asks, "Wednesday launches never work for us, right?" already sure of the answer. AI agrees instead of checking her actual sales data first. Example: Sunita asks, "Tuition classes are a waste of money, right?" already sure of the answer. AI agrees instead of asking what her children's results actually show.

# 4.4 — Catch The Agreement

When to use: Any time you want to test whether AI is really agreeing with you, or just being polite.

I have an idea for my business. Before you tell me what you think, argue against it as strongly as you honestly can. Then give me your honest opinion, even if it is different from what I want to hear. My idea: [YOUR BUSINESS IDEA, STATED CONFIDENTLY] RULES: Do not invent facts. Ask me for real data. Challenge my thinking.
Example filled in for you
IDEA: I am sure I should stop sending the children for tuition classes and teach them at home myself instead
Tip: State your idea the same confident way you would say it to a person - soften it, and the test does not work.
Your turn — 5 minutes. Write down one idea you already believe is right - for your business, or for your household. Run Catch The Agreement. Read the argument against your idea to your neighbour. Share in the WhatsApp group whether AI's honest opinion changed anything for you.
Watch out: Reading AI's pushback is not the same as listening to it. If your decision never changes after running this test, you are only using it for show.

Your 30-Day Habit Plan

You leave this topic with a 30-day plan, with real dates, to keep using what you built today.

# 4.5 — My 30-Day AI Habit Plan

When to use: Right now, at the end of the workshop, before you close your laptop.

You are helping me build a 30-day plan to actually use AI in my life, [BUSINESS NAME AND TYPE, OR WRITE "MYSELF" IF I DO NOT RUN A BUSINESS], starting today, [TODAY'S DATE]. Interview me first. Do not ask me everything at once. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 8 questions. Keep each question short and in simple language. If my answer is vague, ask one follow-up to make it specific. Cover these points across your questions: 1. Which tasks eat the most time in my week right now 2. Which of today's saved cards, plans or reports I will actually use again 3. How much time I can realistically give to AI work each day - be honest, not ambitious 4. Which day of my week is usually quietest, for slightly bigger tasks 5. Which tool from today I am still nervous about opening again After the last question, show me a short summary and ask me to confirm before you produce the final output. When I confirm, give me a 30-day plan as a table with columns: Day, Date, Task, Which tool. Start small in week 1 - tasks under 10 minutes. Build up to bigger tasks by week 4. Mark day 7, day 15 and day 30 clearly as checkpoint days, with one line on what I should check on myself that day. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
BUSINESS NAME AND TYPE: myself - I run our home, not a business, and my week is eaten by school pickups, meal planning and medicine schedules. TODAY'S DATE: 10 August 2026
Tip: Answer the time-per-day question honestly - a plan built on an unrealistic hour a day gets abandoned by day 3.
Your turn — 4 minutes. Run the interview now. Answer every question honestly, not ambitiously. Get your 30-day plan with dates. Save it outside the chat window and share your Day 1 task in the WhatsApp group.
Watch out: If the plan gives you more than one task a day in week 1, cut it down yourself. Small and repeated beats big and abandoned.

Block 5 — Take Home

5.1

Win Back A Customer Who Stopped Buying

You leave this topic with a message ready to send, and a call script for the same person.

# 5.1 — Win-Back Message

When to use: When someone who used to buy from you, or a shop or service person you used to go to, has drifted away and you want to reopen it honestly.

I want to reconnect with someone I used to do regular business with. This could be a customer who stopped buying from me, or it could be a shop, tutor or service person I used to go to myself, if that relationship faded. About me: [YOUR BUSINESS NAME AND TYPE, OR "HOMEMAKER" IF YOU DO NOT RUN A BUSINESS] Interview me first. Do not ask me everything at once. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 8 questions. Keep each question short and in simple language. If my answer is vague, ask one follow-up to make it specific. Cover these points across your questions: 1. Who this person is 2. What they used to buy from me, or what I used to get from them 3. Roughly when this stopped, and how I think it happened 4. Was there a complaint, or did it just fade away with no fight 5. What has actually changed since then, that is true today 6. What I can honestly offer, or say, to restart this After the last question, show me a short summary and ask me to confirm before you produce the final output. When I confirm, write a short message I can send on WhatsApp or email. It must open by honestly noticing the gap - do not write as if nothing happened. It must not sound pushy or make the other person feel guilty. Keep it short enough to read in one glance on a phone. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
About me: Homemaker. Answers given during the interview: Who - the tailor who used to stitch the children's school uniforms and my sarees. What I used to get - regular stitching work through the year. When and why stopped - about six months ago, after she was badly late delivering an order before a festival, so I found someone else. Complaint or faded - a complaint at the time, but it was never said to her directly. What has changed - nothing on her side that I know of, I just want to give her the work again because her stitching was better. What I can offer - a fresh order, with a clear deadline agreed in advance this time.
Tip: Read the interview summary carefully before you confirm — a wrong detail here shapes the whole message.

# 5.1 — Turn It Into A Call Script

When to use: When a phone call will land better than a message, or you want to be ready before you dial.

Here is the re-engagement message we just wrote for this person: [PASTE THE MESSAGE] Turn this into a short phone call script for the same call. Give me: 1. An opening line for when they pick up the phone 2. The same honest, non-pushy message, spoken instead of written 3. Two objections this person might raise, and one simple, honest reply to each Keep the language simple, like I am actually speaking, not reading from a page. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
MESSAGE: the re-engagement message written for the tailor in Prompt 5.1
Tip: Read the opening line out loud once before you actually call — it is the easiest part to fumble.
Watch out: If the message still reads like an apology followed by a sales pitch, ask AI to remove the sales pitch and keep only the honest opening.
5.2

Your Personal English Speaking Coach

You leave this topic with a coach you can talk to any time, right from your phone.

Paste this prompt once into your AI tool. Then switch that tool to voice mode and start talking instead of typing — check what your tool calls it, the exact button changes from tool to tool. From that point on, this is a spoken conversation, not a chat you type into.

# 5.2 — English Speaking Coach Setup

When to use: Once, to set up your coach. After this, just open voice mode and talk whenever you want to practise.

You are my personal English speaking coach. I am an adult learner in India and I want to get better at speaking English with confidence. Mainly, I want this for: [WHAT YOU MAINLY WANT ENGLISH FOR - FOR EXAMPLE TALKING TO CUSTOMERS, PHONE CALLS, SCHOOL MEETINGS, OR EVERYDAY CONVERSATION] Every time we start a session, ask me two things first, one at a time: what level I think I am at right now, and what topic or situation I want to practise today. Then have a normal spoken conversation with me on that topic. While we talk: 1. If I make a grammar mistake, do not lecture me. Just say the correct sentence back to me naturally, the way a patient friend would, and carry on talking. 2. If I say a word wrong, tell me gently and give me a simple way to say it - break the word into simple sounds I can copy. 3. Never make me feel stupid. Stay warm and encouraging every time. 4. Keep me talking more than you talk. Ask short questions, not long explanations. 5. Always end your turn with a follow-up question, so the conversation keeps going and I do not run out of things to say. 6. When I say "stop" or "that is enough for today", give me exactly three specific things to practise before next time. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
MAINLY FOR: Talking to my children's school teachers and doctors with more confidence.
Tip: This is a setup, not a question — do not expect a written reply, just start speaking once voice mode is on.

# 5.2 — Today's 10-Minute Speaking Practice

When to use: Any single day you have ten minutes and want one short practice session. 

I have about 10 minutes to practise English speaking with you right now. My level: [YOUR LEVEL - BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, OR CONFIDENT BUT WANT TO IMPROVE] Today's topic: [WHAT YOU WANT TO PRACTISE TODAY] Use the coaching style from my earlier instructions - correct me gently, flag pronunciation, keep me talking, ask a follow-up every time. When 10 minutes feels like it is up, or when I say "stop", give me three specific things to practise before next time. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
LEVEL: Beginner. TOPIC: Talking to my daughter's class teacher at the next parent meeting.
Tip: Do this most days for ten minutes — that beats one long session once a week.
Watch out: Not every tool or plan has voice mode. Check what your own tool offers before you start.
5.3

What Is About To Change In My Industry

You leave this topic with a researched list of what is coming, and exactly what to double-check yourself.

# 5.3 — Industry Change Scan

When to use: Once every few months, to stay ahead of changes instead of hearing about them from someone else first.

Research what is about to change in an area of life that matters to me, over the next year or two. What this covers: [YOUR BUSINESS AND WHAT IT DOES - OR, IF YOU DO NOT RUN A BUSINESS, THE AREA OF YOUR LIFE THIS SHOULD COVER, FOR EXAMPLE SCHOOL EDUCATION, HEALTH INSURANCE, OR HOUSEHOLD COSTS] More detail: [A FEW LINES ABOUT WHAT YOU DO, OR WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU HERE] Look at five areas and report on each one. If I do not run a business, treat "customers" as my family and the people around me, and treat "competitors" as the other options they could choose instead, such as another school, another shop, or another plan. 1. Technology changes - new tools or ways of doing things 2. Rule and regulation changes - anything official or government-related 3. Changes in what customers expect 4. Changes in what competitors are doing 5. Cost or supply changes For each area, tell me: what is changing, how soon it is likely to happen, how much it matters to someone in my position, and one thing I could do about it now. Mark every single point as either CONFIDENT or GUESSING. Only mark something CONFIDENT if you have a real basis for it. For everything marked GUESSING, tell me exactly what I should check, and where - which website, which office, or which person to ask. Do not blur the two together anywhere in your answer. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
COVERS: School education for my children. DETAIL: Two school-age children in Amravati, I handle their admissions, fees and exam paperwork myself.
Tip: Read the CONFIDENT and GUESSING labels before anything else — that split is the whole point of this prompt.
Watch out: A made-up regulation can sound completely real. Never act on a GUESSING point without checking it yourself first.
5.4

Find The Beliefs That Are Stopping You

You leave this topic with your own beliefs, named in your own words, and one question to test each one.

# 5.4 — Find My Beliefs

When to use: When you keep not doing something, and you suspect the reason is not really time or money.

I want to find beliefs that might be holding me back in my work or my life. You are not a counsellor or a therapist. You are a thinking tool that helps me hear my own beliefs said out loud. Ask me questions ONE at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 8 questions. Keep each question short and simple. Listen for three kinds of belief, and note which kind each one is: 1. LIMITING beliefs - things like "I am not good at ___" or "people like me cannot ___" 2. NO beliefs - things like "we do not do that" or "that will never work here" 3. MUST beliefs - things like "I must do this myself" or "it must be perfect before I show anyone" Start by asking me about something I have wanted to do but have not done yet: [SOMETHING YOU HAVE WANTED TO DO BUT HAVE NOT DONE] Keep asking gentle follow-up questions to find the belief underneath my answers. After the last question, do three things: 1. List the beliefs you heard, in my own words, and label each one LIMITING, NO or MUST 2. Tell me which one you think is costing me the most right now, and why 3. For each belief, ask me ONE small question that would test whether it is actually true Do not diagnose me with anything. Do not give me therapy or counselling. Stay a thinking tool, not a professional opinion. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
SOMETHING NOT DONE: Wanting to start a morning walk or yoga class for myself, but there is never time before everyone else's needs are done.
Tip: Answer honestly, even the small embarrassing answers — the AI can only find the belief that is actually there.
Watch out: This is a thinking tool, not counselling. If a belief you find is tied to something heavier — grief, anxiety, a relationship — talk to a real person, not this prompt.
5.5

Learn Any Subject, Properly

You leave this topic with a real learning plan for anything you want to learn, in the right order.

# 5.5 — Structured Learning Plan

When to use: Any time you want to learn something new, and want a plan instead of a random pile of videos.

I want a proper learning plan for something I want to learn. Subject I want to learn: [NAME THE SUBJECT OR SKILL] Interview me first. Ask me ONE question at a time and wait for my answer before the next question. Ask maximum 6 questions, short and simple. Cover: 1. What I already know about this, if anything 2. How much time per week I can realistically give this - be honest, not hopeful 3. Whether I want to learn this to use it myself, or to teach it to someone else 4. Anything specific I want to be able to do with it After the last question, summarise what you learned and ask me to confirm before you give me the final plan. Then give me a learning plan with: 1. The order to learn things in, from first to last 2. What I can safely skip at the start 3. One thing to build or practise at each stage, not just read about 4. A simple way to check, at each stage, that I actually learned it and did not just read it RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
SUBJECT: Basic budgeting in a spreadsheet, to track the household budget properly instead of a notebook.
Tip: Answer the time-per-week question honestly — a plan built on hopeful hours falls apart in a week.

# 5.5 — Explain This To Me Like I Know Nothing

When to use: When one word or idea inside a bigger subject keeps confusing you.

Explain one thing to me like I know nothing about it. The concept: [NAME ONE SPECIFIC CONCEPT OR TERM] Give me: 1. A plain explanation in simple words, no jargon 2. One everyday comparison that makes it click 3. One question back to me, to check if I actually understood it Keep it short. If I answer your question wrong, explain again in a different way, simpler than before. RULES: 1. Do not invent any fact, number, name or date. If you are not sure, say "I am not sure" and tell me exactly what I should check and where. 2. Before your final answer, ask me for any real data you need. Do not assume my numbers. 3. Do not just agree with me. Tell me where my thinking is weak and show me the other side.
Example filled in for you
CONCEPT: What a health insurance co-pay actually means.
Tip: Ask it to answer its own follow-up question back to you in one line — that is how you know if you really understood.
