Talk to AI Like a Pro

The Commission — a plain-English handbook for briefing ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot.

The method that outlasts the tools.

Sold on Amazon. English edition.

“I wrote this book because the gap between people who get good work out of AI and people who get mush is almost never the gap they think it is.”

It is not intelligence, and it is not the subscription tier. It is a handful of habits that nobody is ever taught, because the tools arrived without instructions and everyone has been improvising ever since. The methods in here are named on purpose, because a method you can name is a method you can reach for under pressure.

— from “A note from the author”

Inside the book

Twelve short chapters.

A method to practise, not a manual to memorise. Every technique is named, shown in a real exchange with a real assistant, then handed to you as wording you can adapt. Each chapter ends with its key points and one small thing to try on a task you already have.

Where this book sits

Talk to AI Like a Pro is the second rung of The AI Mastery Series — the literacy layer everything else builds on. Book 1 explains what AI is; this one is about directing it well, whichever assistant you happen to be sitting in front of. It assumes you have used a chatbot at least once, and nothing more.

Each book states its own level, so you always know which rung you are on. Start wherever you actually are — the ladder is there to climb, not to queue for.

New to all this?

Book 1 gives away its whole first chapter — not a preview, the entire chapter — before you spend a penny.
