The Weirdest Thing I've Learned Training 1000+ People in AI...

Everyone's obsessing over prompts and tokens and parameters. But want to know what actually predicts AI success?

Three words: Hi, Thanks, Great.

I know it sounds ridiculous. But stick with me here...

Let me tell you about Sarah

She's a senior marketing director who was skeptical about AI. "I've tried it," she told me. "It just doesn't get what I need."

Then she tried the HTG framework in one chat. Just three simple words that changed everything.

1. Start with "Hi"

Not because AI cares about politeness. But because it primes YOUR brain to treat this like a conversation, not a search query.

Instead of:
"write email to client about project delay"

Try:
"Hi! I need help writing an email to a client about a project delay. The situation is..."

2. End with "Thanks"

This isn't about politeness either. It's about completing your thought instead of dropping fragments. Think about how you'd actually ask a colleague for help.

Instead of:
"make shorter"

Try:
"Could you help me make this more concise while keeping the key points? Thanks!"

3. Respond with "Great"

Here's where the magic happens. Starting your feedback with "Great" forces you to find what's working before diving into changes. Just like you would with a human colleague.

Instead of:
"make it more professional"

Try:
"Great start! The structure works well. Could we make the tone more professional by..."

Here's what happened with Sarah

Remember Sarah? After one week of using HTG, her team's AI success rate jumped 70%. Not because the AI got smarter. But because they stopped fighting against their natural communication instincts.

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from the simplest shifts.

Try it yourself

For the next 24 hours, start every AI interaction with "Hi," end with "Thanks," and begin your follow-ups with "Great."

Then watch what happens to your results. (DM me and let me know!)
