📌 PROMPT EVOLUTION: Exploring AI Techniques
🎯 Today’s focus — Comparative Analysis

🔹 What is Comparative Analysis and why use it?

Comparative Analysis isn’t a strict framework, but one of the most practical and frequently used approaches in AI prompting.
It helps you compare multiple options with structured output, making AI more useful in decision-making.

📌 When to use it?

Choosing between tools or platforms
Finding the best option for your goals
Analyzing pros and cons
Building business justification and strategy

🔍 Example (before):

Compare Notion and Obsidian.

💡 The issue:

❌ AI outputs scattered facts
❌ No structure
❌ No clear conclusion on what’s better or when

🔥 Improved version with Comparative Analysis

✅ Updated prompt:

Compare Notion and Obsidian using 5 criteria:
ease of use, flexibility, collaboration, offline access, integrations.
Present it in a table:
| Criteria | Notion | Obsidian | Comment |
At the end, provide a conclusion — which tool is better for a team knowledge base.

📌 What’s better now?

✔ Structured format → clear, readable comparison
✔ Defined criteria → focused and consistent
✔ Context-aware → conclusion tied to a real use case
✔ AI becomes a decision assistant, not a fact repeater

💡 Bottom line:

Old prompt → Unstructured info dump
Comparative Analysis → Clear, practical comparison with a real takeaway
