You don't need to write perfect prompts. Modern AI is smart enough to work with simple questions. The real skill? Knowing what to say next.
When AI runs automatically — in apps, pipelines, or integrations — every prompt must be carefully tested and optimized. There's no human in the loop to fix a bad output.
When you're chatting with AI directly, you don't need a perfect prompt. Just ask, look at what comes back, and guide it with follow-ups. You're in the loop — you are the quality control.
Start with your course basics, then shape the syllabus through a few back-and-forth exchanges.
Turn a dry topic into a 90-minute session students actually enjoy. Start with the basics, refine the activities.
Get questions for your seminar. Start rough — then calibrate difficulty and add Lithuanian/European context.
Get a balanced exam draft, then adjust difficulty, fix ambiguous wording, and add your own twist.
Get a first rubric draft, then sharpen the criteria until each cell clearly distinguishes one level from another.
Give the AI your quick notes on a student's work, iterate until the feedback sounds like you — not like a robot.
Start with your messy notes, iterate until the abstract is tight enough for journal submission.
Paste your messy reading notes, then iterate to find themes, gaps, and structure for your review.
Go from paper to slides. Start with your key points, iterate on the story arc and visuals.
Paste your messy meeting scribbles, iterate until you have clean minutes with clear action items.
Start with your key points, iterate on structure and legal precision. Great for AI use policies, assessment rules, etc.
Get a draft email, then adjust the tone and sharpen the ask until it's exactly what you'd send.
Paste the student's email, get a draft reply, then adjust empathy and specificity.
Create compelling event copy for workshops, guest lectures, or open days that people actually want to attend.
Give the AI your honest impressions of the student, iterate until the letter sounds like you wrote it yourself.
Paste a long report, regulation, or strategy paper. Get the gist first, then drill into what matters for you.
From vague idea to slide outline. Start with "I need to present about X" and iterate from there.
Paste your draft, get it polished. Works for English, Lithuanian, or translating between them.
Save as a Custom GPT in ChatGPT. It becomes a reusable assistant you can open anytime — no re-explaining needed.
Save as a Gem in Gemini. Same idea — your refined workflow becomes a one-click tool in Google's ecosystem.
Save as a Project in Claude. Add your template to the project instructions — Claude will follow it every time.
Google NotebookLM is a free AI research tool that works only with the documents you upload. Unlike ChatGPT or Gemini, it doesn't make things up from the internet — it reads your sources and answers based on them. Think of it as an AI assistant that actually did the reading. Open it at notebooklm.google.com — it's free with your Google account, including Workspace for Education.
Upload any document and get a podcast-style discussion between two AI hosts explaining the content. With Interactive Mode, you can interrupt mid-conversation to ask questions — the hosts pause, answer you, then continue.
Generates narrated videos with visuals, diagrams, and animations from your documents. The new Cinematic mode creates dynamic, engaging explainer videos — not just narrated slides.
One-click generation of quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, slide decks, infographics, and data tables — all from your uploaded sources. Slides export to PPTX for editing.
Upload multiple documents and generate comparison tables automatically. Export to Google Sheets. Great for comparing research papers, policies, or student submissions.
Ask questions and get answers with inline citations pointing to exact passages in your sources. Every claim is traceable — no hallucinations from outside data.
Connect your notebook to Google Gemini. Ask Gemini to "answer based on my notebook" from anywhere in Google's ecosystem — even in Docs or Gmail.
Upload your textbook chapters, past slides, and articles. Ask NotebookLM to summarize key concepts, generate discussion questions, or create a quiz — all grounded in your actual materials.
Generate Audio Overviews of your lecture notes — students can listen on their commute. Create flashcard sets and practice quizzes from your course content with one click.
Upload 5-10 papers into one notebook. Ask "What methods were used across these studies?" or "Where do the authors disagree?" — get answers with citations to specific papers.
Upload an EU regulation or ministry report. Ask "What does this mean for our faculty?" — get a plain-language summary based only on the actual document, not AI guesses.
Upload department handbooks, procedures, and policies into a shared notebook. New staff can ask questions and get answers grounded in your actual documents.
Upload a report or research paper, generate a slide deck in Studio, then export to PPTX and edit in PowerPoint or Google Slides. First draft in seconds.
There's no wrong way to ask. If the result isn't good, just tell the AI what's wrong. It won't judge you, get offended, or remember your awkward first attempt.
AI is much better at improving your draft than creating from nothing. Paste your messy notes, half-written text, or rough ideas — even in Lithuanian.
Getting a perfect result on the first try is rare. Most good results take 2-4 back-and-forth exchanges. That's not failure — that's how it works.
AI can confidently present wrong information — especially dates, statistics, and citations. If it mentions a study or gives a number, double-check it yourself.
Never paste student grades with names, personal information, or confidential university documents into public AI tools. Anonymize first.
Use AI as a starting point, not a replacement. Your expertise, judgment, and voice are what make the final output trustworthy.
