If you’re wrestling with Gen AI prompts - getting outputs that are “just okay” and wasting time going back and forth, you’re probably doing it wrong. Neo Aplin, Inventium’s Gen AI expert, calls this “gunslinging.” It’s a fast-and-loose approach that leads to mediocre results. The smarter way? It’s called “architecting”- a method that helps you co-create with AI for complex tasks like strategy papers, training workshops, and reports. 

In this episode, Neo breaks down how to use architecting to get AI working like a true thinking partner and not just a text generator. 

We discuss: 

• Why “gunslinging” leads to frustration and wasted time 

• How to “architect” your AI prompts for better results 

• The types of tasks where architecting will supercharge your work 

• Tips for using architecting with tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot 

Key quotes: 
“Most people are gunslingers - they shoot from the hip and hope for the best.” 
“Architecting is like designing a house before you build it. It makes the whole process faster, smoother, and way more effective.” 
“If you want AI to work as a true thinking partner, you need to co-create with it - not just give it a prompt and hope for the best.”
