How To Ask AI Better Questions, Using AI

TLDR; check out my Chrome Extension “Better Questions”

There’s a concept of “prompt engineering” where you learn how to ask AI a question.

I wanted to use AI as a shortcut for learning about Prompt Engineering.

Most of the time when AI gives a bad answer it’s because you didn’t ask the right question.

I wanted AI to help me ask the right question

I didn’t want:

“Rewrite my prompt to sound better”

I wanted:

“Help me think about my prompt before I ask it”

I didn’t want better phrasing, I wanted better thinking.

After some research

Most existing tools:

• ✅Improve structure (formatting, clarity)
• ❌ Ignore missing intent, constraints, clarity, and unclear goals

Other tools polish bad thinking instead of improving it

What This Extension Does

Add “Improve My Question” to your prompt input

It’s a layer that sits between you and the AI prompt input box.

This makes sure you’re asking the right question in the first place.

It doesn’t improve prompts- it improves the thinking that creates them.

What does it do?

It’ll ask you questions and make assumptions to improve your prompt

I wanted AI to tell me:

• Did I have any missing content/context?
• Have a clear goal?
• Ask me clarifying questions that I should answer ahead of time
• Make assumptions, and re-write my prompt using those assumptions, such that I can easily copy/paste it back into the original input screen

How To Use It

1. Download the Chrome Extension
2. Open the AI website (ex. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
3. Put in your prompt
4. Press the button “Improve My Question” (or Ctrl + Shift + K)
5. Press the button “Analyze Prompt” (if needed)
6. Press the button “Used Suggested Prompt”

Same image as above, but the “full screen” view where you can see/modify the prompt entered
