AI Boosts: Advocate

These are "boosts" that you can use to accelerate your work. They can be very powerful, and their responses can often be very impressive!

Before you start prompting, look through this list and consider which boosts will address your group's needs and will be a good use of your time (which is very limited). Then try out a few!

Don't forget to talk with your group as you get responses back from the AI. Your group's feedback will be crucial to making sense of the ideas and integrating them meaningfully into your work as a team. Good luck!

(The vision of a better future) Once your interview of us is complete, ask any further clarifying questions and then provide an outline with our information, keeping the language concise, compelling, and focused on emotion.
