Follow-up questions

The single biggest beginner mistake: getting an okay answer, sighing, and giving up.

The conversation is the feature. The first reply is rarely the best one — it's the starting point.

Things to say

• "That's close. Make it shorter."
• "Less formal, please."
• "Try again, but as if you were explaining it to a 10-year-old."
• "I don't like the second paragraph. Rewrite just that part."
• "Give me three different versions to choose from."
• "Why did you choose that approach? What else could we try?"

Push back when it's wrong

"Actually, that's not right because [reason]. Try again with that in mind."

It will adjust. It does not have an ego. The willingness to keep talking is the difference between a frustrated user and a fluent one.
