Prompting Your Prompt: The Simple Method That Multiplies AI Output Quality

Most people believe the key to getting better results from AI is writing better prompts.

That’s true — but incomplete.

The biggest improvement I’ve found comes from a different approach, use one AI model to write a powerful prompt for another AI model.

I use multiple tools in my workflow:

• ChatGPT (OpenAI)

• Mistral AI

• Claude (Anthropic)

• Lumo (Proton)

• Perplexity

• Copilot (Microsoft)

• Midjourney

When used individually, each tool is valuable. When used together, the results compound.

The core idea

Instead of writing a prompt and running it immediately, I do this:

1. Draft a rough prompt

2. Ask a second model to create an “elite prompt” for ChatGPT

3. Paste that elite prompt into ChatGPT

4. Iterate using the best tool for the job (research, editing, structure)

The elite prompt is often long — sometimes two or three A4 pages in length. But the output quality is dramatically higher.

Why it works

This works because:

• different models have different strengths

• detailed prompts reduce ambiguity

• better prompts act like better briefs (and briefs drive outcomes)

If you only take one thing away from this:

Stop trying to be a better prompter. Start using AI to design better prompts.
