Types of AI tools and what they are good for

Chat assistants

Answer questions, draft and summarise text, and help with code. Good for first drafts; verify facts. See AI helper vs virtual assistant and humanizing AI text.

Image generators

Create images from a text description. Check the licence terms before commercial use. See AI art from text.

Video and audio

Generate or edit video, voices and subtitles. See turning ideas into videos.

Computer vision

Recognise objects, text and faces in images, used in quality control, document scanning and autonomous vehicles. See computer vision development.

Sales and marketing AI

Lead scoring, ad targeting and automated outreach. See AI SDRs and AI in e-commerce marketing.

AI devices

Smart glasses and wearables with built-in assistants. See AI glasses.

Anatomy of a good prompt

Clear instructions get better results from any assistant. Build one step by step.

Step 1 of 5: Say what you want

Start with the task: "Write a 150-word product description…" beats "Product description?".

Step 2 of 5: Give context

Who it is for, what they already know, and any facts the tool must use. Paste the source material rather than hoping it knows.

Step 3 of 5: Set the format

Bullet list, table, email, word count, tone.

Step 4 of 5: Show an example

One short example of the style you want often helps more than a long description.

Step 5 of 5: Review and refine

Check the output, correct errors and ask for changes. Never paste passwords or confidential data.

Adopting AI in a business

Start with a narrow, measurable task, test it on real examples, and keep a person accountable for the output. Regulators are paying attention: the US FTC has warned that existing consumer-protection law applies to AI claims and products, and the EU AI Act sets risk-based rules.
