Abstract

This article is a companion to How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bot: What I Learned About AI and What You Can Too. This article helps users, especially those in dispute resolution roles, learn how to write effective prompts and engage productively with artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The goal is to make AI less intimidating and more useful – one good question at a time.

The article shows how users can choose appropriate tools, formulate effective prompts, and generate useful results. It offers role-specific prompt suggestions for mediators, attorneys, disputants, ADR program managers, law school faculty, students, and scholars.

These examples are designed to support clear communication, creative problem-solving, intentional practice, and continuous learning. Though focused on the Real Practice Systems Coach tool, most suggestions can be used with other AI platforms.
