Here is a set of ideas you can use at an upcoming event or with your friends.
What you type to guide the AI. You tell it the goal, the steps, and the limits.
An LLM is an AI model that works with text. Examples include GPT-4/5, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, and Claude. ChatGPT is an app built on an LLM.
A small piece of text. It can be a word, a space, or part of a word. LLMs use tokens to predict what comes next.
How much information a model can hold at one time. After that, things get summarized. Think of it like short-term memory.
If memory is off, the AI forgets chat to chat. When the limit is hit, it keeps the key points, so it can feel longer than it is.
Methods that make prompts clear and repeatable so you get useful results.
Example: “You are a friendly local AI coach. Write a 60-word invite for Newmarket small businesses to try AI over coffee. Keep it plain and encouraging.”
Using the context window well. Choose and condense what you send, keep high-quality info, cut the fluff, and define things clearly so the model stays focused.
