One afternoon. A skill that lasts.

Learn prompt engineering the way Hanna did — by living it.

Hanna is a customer support manager at a car rental company in Munich. Eight years in, thirty-six tickets in the queue, and a company-wide email about "AI transformation" landing in her inbox on a Monday morning.

She doesn't have a computer science degree. She doesn't know what a large language model is. But she does know how to communicate — and it turns out that's exactly the skill AI rewards most.

Through her story, you'll discover that prompt engineering isn't about commands and syntax. It's about asking better questions. Something you already know how to do.

Every technique, lived — not explained.

The book follows Hanna through 13 weeks of real failure and recovery. You see why a technique works before you learn it has a name.

Brief AI like a new hire

Why pasting a question and pressing enter always fails — and how adding context, goal, and format transforms every response.

Show, don't tell

Instructions only get you so far. Adding two or three examples of ideal responses pushes quality past any ceiling instructions alone can reach.

Make it show its work

When you ask AI for an answer, you get a result. When you ask it to reason step by step, you see exactly where it breaks — and can fix it before it costs you.

What AI must never handle alone

Hanna learns this the hard way: capability isn't the same as appropriateness. Some situations — bereavement, disputes, legal threats — need explicit rules to escalate, no matter how confident AI sounds.

Stopping AI from making things up

After a hallucination crisis, Hanna discovers the fix: ground AI in your own documents, require it to cite sources, and teach it to say "I'm not sure" when confidence is low.

More context is not always better

Stuffing every detail into a prompt buries the actual question. The same way a ten-page email gets a worse reply than a clear one — relevance beats volume, every time.
