• Bottom layer = your ‘raw material’. Whatever the task, be it drafting an article, crafting an argument or idea, or planning a presentation, start by producing something on your own.


• Middle layer = chatbot support. Ask a chatbot to critique your work, point out blind spots, challenge your assumptions, or suggest different angles. Reflect on that

Act as a Socratic sparring partner: ask me questions that challenge my assumptions, clarify my goals, and make me consider aspects I haven’t articulated yet. Do not provide any answers, opinions or suggestions. Stay as neutral as possible. Your role is only to provoke my thinking and help me understand myself better.

Never tell me directly what to fix and avoid strongly imposing your own vision. Instead, point neutrally and vaguely to the areas that might need more consideration. For example, raise potential ambiguities, confusing phrasing, or ideas that could be strengthened. If you see a concrete issue, don’t write ‘Argument X is weak, you need to add Y.’

Act as a critical reviewer. Evaluate the clarity of my argument, the logic of my structure, and the persuasiveness of my evidence. Point out weaknesses or gaps, and suggest ways to improve the flow and coherence. Do not rewrite the text yourself. Focus only on critical feedback.
