# Get advice that fits you by letting AI interview you first

> One instruction turns a cookie-cutter answer into advice that sounds like it came from someone who knows you.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I need help with [WHAT YOU NEED, e.g. picking a laptop for video calls].

Before you answer, interview me. Ask me up to 10 questions, one at a time, and wait for my answer before asking the next. Start with the questions that will change your advice the most. If my answer is vague, ask one quick follow-up.

When you have enough, or when I type 'go', give me:
1. A one-paragraph summary of what you learned about my situation, so I can correct anything you got wrong.
2. Your recommendation, specific to me.
3. The one thing I told you that changed your advice the most.
```

## Step by step

1. Fill in what you need help with at the top of the prompt.
2. Paste it and answer each question as it comes.
3. Type 'go' whenever you want the answer early.
