  3. Paste the prompt and replace anything in [brackets] with your own details

Pro Tip

The more specific you are when replacing the [brackets], the better your result. For example instead of writing [Job Title] write "Senior Software Engineer with 5 years experience" — specificity is what separates a good AI response from a great one.
