It's not because AI is dumb. It's because talking to AI is a skill — and nobody taught you how to do it. Until now.
This is the CLEAR formula. It's how Sai talks to AI to build games, write code, and get stuff done fast.
The CLEAR Formula
C
Context
Tell AI who you are
Don't just ask a question out of nowhere. Give AI the backstory so it knows what kind of answer to give you.
💬 "I'm a kid making a basketball game in JavaScript..."
L
Length
Short answer or long?
Tell AI exactly how much detail you want. "Give me a 3-sentence answer" vs "explain in detail" makes a huge difference.
💬 "Keep it simple, under 5 lines of code..."
E
Examples
Show what good looks like
AI is like a copy machine — show it the original. Paste in an example and it'll match that style.
💬 "Here's what I want it to look like: [paste example]..."
A
Audience
Who is this for?
"Explain it like I'm 10" gives you a completely different answer than "explain it to an engineer."
💬 "Explain this so a 10-year-old can understand it..."
R
Request
Be super specific
Not "help me with my game" — tell AI exactly what you need. The more specific, the better the answer.
💬 "Write a JS function that makes a ball bounce off the walls..."
Bad Prompt vs. Good Prompt
❌ Bad prompt
Help me with my game
✅ Good prompt (uses CLEAR)
I'm an 11-year-old making a basketball game in JavaScript. Write me a function that makes a ball bounce off the left and right walls. Keep the code simple and add comments so I can understand it.
💡 The good prompt gives AI Context, Length, Examples, Audience, and a specific Request. The bad one gives AI nothing to work with.
🎯 Try It Right Now
Pick something you want AI to help with and write a CLEAR prompt using this template:
"I am [who you are]. I want [what you want]. Make it [length/style]. Explain it to [your audience]."
The more you practice, the better your results get. AI doesn't get smarter — you do.
