Don't Prompt ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude Wrong in 2026. Try This Instead!

Most People Prompt AI Wrong Because They Skip This Step Prompting has changed. Newer AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok are getting better, and you do not always need some giant complicated prompt formula anymore. But that does not mean prompting no longer matters. The real problem is that most people ask AI to “make this better” without ever telling the AI what better actually means. Better for who? Better in what way? More clear? More useful? More factual? More beginner-friendly? More strategic? More specific? If you do not define that, AI has to guess. In this video, I’ll show you a simple technique I call Success Criteria Prompting. It helps you give AI a clearer target before it answers, so the response is usually more specific, more useful, less generic, and more aligned with what you actually wanted. This is not about memorizing complicated prompt formulas. It is about learning how to tell AI what a good answer should look like before it starts working. Here’s what we cover: → Why “make this better” often gives you generic AI answers → What Success Criteria Prompting means → How rubrics work without making them complicated → Where this fits in prompt engineering and context engineering → When to use this technique → When not to use it → Why rubrics do not automatically make AI factually correct → How to combine a role with success criteria → How to use meta-prompting so AI creates the rubric for you → The simple copy-paste prompt you can use in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or any other AI tool Use Your Voice To Prompt AI: https://ref.wisprflow.ai/craig-does-ai 📋 Link to Notion: https://petal-xylophone-552.notion.si... 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAY Do not just ask AI for a better answer. Tell AI what “better” means. Success Criteria Prompting gives the model a clearer target, and it gives you a better way to judge the answer you get back.
