About this episode
Kyle and Kelsey discuss the evolution of AI prompting and strategies for effective use.
CEO & President Kyle and Graphic Designer & Brand strategist Kelsey explore how prompting has evolved from using AI like a “smarter Google” to structured strategies that deliver sharper, less generic results. They break down the CRIT framework (Context, Role, Interview, Task), share why detailed context reduces hallucinations, and explain how prompt libraries and model memory speed up repeatable work. The conversation also dives into context engineering with tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Google Workspace Gemini to make AI outputs more relevant and secure. Plus: common prompting mistakes, model comparisons, multimodal inputs, and how to onboard teams without losing brand consistency.
