Level Up: Iteration & Chain-of-Thought
Lesson 4Guided by Carter7:00
"What do you do when even your best prompt isn't quite right?"
Carter reveals the loop that turns good AI users into great ones — a skill so powerful it works far beyond AI. Plus a single trick that makes AI dramatically smarter on hard problems. (Most people have no idea this exists.)
The big idea
Your first prompt is just the starting line — real AI skill is knowing how to iterate, evaluate, and redirect until you get exactly what you need.
By the end of this lesson, a student can
- Iterate prompts to refine AI results
- Use chain-of-thought for hard problems
- Diagnose why a prompt isn't working
