In AI Talks Session 2, “Talking to AI Like a Normal Human,” Donna Reed shows you how to write simple prompts that actually get useful results. She breaks prompts down into plain-English instructions, explains why vague prompts lead to weird answers, and shares her practical 5-part prompt framework you can reuse for real work. Donna’s big message: your advantage is AI plus HI (human intelligence). AI can generate ideas fast, but it does not know your standards, your clients, or your boundaries unless you tell it. She also walks through how she uses the scientific method to improve prompts: try it, review the output, adjust the wording or context, and repeat until it works. You’ll leave with low-risk ways to start using AI right away, plus a mindset shift: good prompts become reusable firm assets you can use for onboarding, SOPs, monthly close checklists, internal training, and more.
