AI Best Practices and Usage Guidelines

• Be specific in your prompts - include context, format preferences, and examples of desired outputs.
• Break complex tasks into smaller steps to get more accurate responses.
• Double-check factual claims and citations - AI can sometimes generate plausible but incorrect information.
• Save important conversations or outputs elsewhere - AI chat histories aren't permanent.
• Remember AI has limitations - it can't verify real-time information or learn from past chats.

It is essential to be familiar with the resources below before using AI tools in your daily tasks.
