# Give AI a useful brief

A free template from Amin Aura Group.
Fill in the brackets, remove anything private, then take the brief to the AI tool you use.

Help me finish this specific piece of work:
[State the actual output you need.]

## Who will use it
[Describe the person, their situation and their needs.]

## Context: facts and unknowns
[Include relevant facts, available resources and anything still uncertain.]

## Constraints
[Time, budget, format, things to avoid and what cannot change.]

## The finished output
[For example: a one-page brief, a checklist, a draft email or a table with owners.]

## How I will review it
[Two or three requirements I can actually inspect.]

## How to work
1. Identify any missing fact that would materially change the result. Ask a focused question only if you cannot responsibly continue without it. Otherwise, state your assumption and make a first version.
2. Use the supplied facts. Label guesses and unverified claims. Do not invent experience, credentials, sources or results.
3. Produce the actual requested output, with clear steps or examples wherever they help.
4. Check the result against every review requirement above. Show what passes and what still needs work.
5. End with the next action I can take and any fact I should verify before using the result.

Give me something I can inspect and improve—not only advice about how to begin.

## Illustrative example
Goal: a one-page plan for a small portrait shoot.
Audience: a photographer and a first-time portrait client.
Context: 60 minutes, one camera, a reflector, an outdoor location and three natural portraits for a personal website. Weather is not confirmed.
Constraints: no new equipment; natural light; time to help the client feel comfortable; do not invent permissions or preferences.
Output: shot list, timed sequence, what each person brings and a bad-weather alternative.
Review: the schedule totals 60 minutes; every shot serves the three portraits; unknowns are flagged for confirmation.

Before sharing a brief, remove passwords, private records and sensitive information. Verify facts and calculations in the answer, and open any cited original sources. Clear instructions help; they do not guarantee accuracy.
