Andrew Miles Davis delivers three prompt techniques built around a single observation he has developed over years of using and teaching AI, that better prompts do not produce better answers, they produce better thinking. The first asks AI to evaluate a decision from the perspective of your future self, identifying what you might regret ignoring versus what simply will not matter in three years. The second takes any piece of content, however dry, and asks what angle would make it shareable, a prompt Andrew uses regularly in training sessions to challenge the idea that some industries are too boring to create engaging content. The third uses constraints as a creative tool, asking for ideas that must meet specific limits around budget, time, and skills, because constraints eliminate the vagueness that produces generic output.

Andrew Miles Davis covers three tools on this week's Cool Tools Tuesday, leading with 11 Music, the new platform from 11 Labs that combines AI music discovery, creation, and remixing in one place, letting users take any AI-generated track and transform it into a completely different genre without any copyright complications. He also reviews HiNote AI, a note taker that pulls together features from tools like Notebook LM and Fathom into a more focused daily-use interface, accepting everything from PDFs and audio recordings to YouTube videos and web pages before summarising them however you need. The episode rounds off with Zight, the screen recording tool Andrew has relied on for six or seven years under its previous name Cloud App, now updated with AI transcription, annotation, and summary features that make it more useful than ever for anyone creating training content or documenting their work.

Andrew Miles Davis opens May with his monthly look-ahead, but starts with an honest review of what he said he was looking forward to in April and whether any of it actually happened. Claude Cowork barely got touched, the Mac Mini sat in its box for two months before finally being unpacked, and the two day AI course with the National Film and Television School and Amazon Prime went better than expected and is running again in Leeds and Glasgow this month. For May, Andrew is focused on finally getting his new studio space properly set up in what he describes as a large garage split into a gym, a TV room, and an office, committing to building a new vibe coded application every two to three days and documenting the process for YouTube, and watching closely for what AI updates land this month given that May has historically been when some of the biggest model leaps have been announced.
