What is one-shot Prompting?
One-shot prompting means giving the chatbot one example of what you want. Zero-shot is no example and few-shot is several. The example shows the format, tone and length you expect, so the output matches it. It has nothing to do with shorter answers, the example sets whatever style you want.

How do I summarise a long report with AI?
Start with a content map. Ask the chatbot to map out the report first, listing its sections and what each one covers, before it summarises anything. It then has the whole structure organised and can do the heavy lifting section by section. It is optional, but it makes long reports much easier.
Can I ask AI to add something it missed to a summary?
Absolutely. Highlight or quote the part that is missing, then add a note or a question about it. The chatbot then refers to that exact passage and adds the point to the summary. Being specific about what was missed works far better than asking it to try again from scratch.
How do I make AI follow my Template or house style?
Upload the template or an example document and tell it to follow it. AI does not know your house style, so describe it in detail: fonts, colours, logo, section order, tone and length. An example document works best, either as an attached file or as pasted text.
