Advanced Prompting
Read the full guide.
Text-only prompting is no longer the whole game. The strongest AI systems now work across images, audio, video, and documents, but most users still feed them raw inputs with no scaffolding.
This guide gives you the frameworks for structuring non-text context, choosing the right multimodal model, and turning screenshots, recordings, and files into usable business intelligence.
Edition note, checked October 23, 2026: the model comparison in this PDF reflects March 12, 2026 (GPT-5.2, Claude 4 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro). The current generation is GPT-6 at OpenAI, Claude Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, and Haiku 5.5 at Anthropic, and Gemini 4 Argon at Google, which limited Gemini 2.5 API access to existing users on September 18, 2026. The frameworks for structuring images, audio, video, and documents do not depend on those model names.
The T-Minus AI Axiom
Context is no longer just words. It is what the AI can see, hear, and read in your documents. Feed the model the same context a human expert would need.

Slide 1 of 3
Structure audio, video, screenshots, and documents before asking the model to reason.
Inside The Guide
Introduces a layered model for grounding video, audio, screenshots, and documents with explicit goals before analysis begins.
Includes named frameworks for UI auditing, chart interpretation, document extraction, meeting intelligence, and voice memo digestion.
Shows how to treat video like code: identify friction, segment the flow, and use the model to generate redesigned React and Tailwind prototypes.
