📌 PROMPT EVOLUTION: Exploring AI Frameworks
🎯 Today’s focus — STAR (Situation – Task – Action – Result)


🔹 What is STAR and why use it?

The STAR framework is widely used in **case writing, analytics, job interviews, and structured business documents **.
It helps present information with clarity, sequence, and a measurable outcome.


📌 How does it work?

1️⃣ Situation → What was the initial context?
2️⃣ Task → What problem needed solving?
3️⃣ Action → What actions were taken?
4️⃣ Result → What was the outcome?


🔍 Example (before):

Write a case study about successful business automation.

💡 The issue:

  • ❌ AI produces vague, unstructured text
  • ❌ Events are just listed → no clear flow
  • ❌ Outcome is abstract or missing

🔥 Improved version using STAR — clean and persuasive

Updated prompt:

Use the STAR framework to write a business automation case study:
1️⃣ Describe the situation: the company was spending over 10 hours per week on repetitive tasks.
2️⃣ Define the task: reduce time loss and improve efficiency.
3️⃣ Describe the actions: implement AI automation and optimize workflows.
4️⃣ Present the result: time reduced by 70%, productivity increased.

Structure the output into four paragraphs that match the STAR format.


📌 What’s better now?

✔ Clear structure → AI delivers well-organized content
✔ Logical flow → easier to read and understand
✔ Measurable result → perfect for sales, pitches, or reports


💡 Bottom line:

Old prompt → Vague and forgettable reflections
STAR-based prompt → Clear, actionable business case
