AI should never make decisions for you. It should help you:
- See blind spots you're missing
- Structure complex trade-offs
- Generate options you haven't considered
- Play devil's advocate
The decision is always yours. AI is the whiteboard, not the boss.
Prompt:
I'm deciding whether to [decision].
Context: [brief background]
Constraints: [budget, timeline, team size, etc.]
My current leaning: [what you're biased toward]
Help me think through this:
1. List 5 pros and 5 cons
2. Identify what I might be missing
3. Challenge my current leaning — argue the opposite
4. Suggest what information would make this decision easier
Write in Thai.
Prompt:
I need to plan for [situation]. Help me create 3 scenarios:
Scenario A: Best case — what happens if everything goes right?
Scenario B: Most likely — what's the realistic outcome?
Scenario C: Worst case — what if everything goes wrong?
For each scenario:
- What it looks like
- Probability (your estimate)
- What I should prepare
Context: [paste your situation]
Prompt:
I have these tasks/initiatives to choose from:
[List your items]
Help me prioritize using a 2x2 matrix:
- High impact, Low effort (do first)
- High impact, High effort (plan carefully)
- Low impact, Low effort (do when free)
- Low impact, High effort (skip)
For each item, estimate impact and effort.
Then recommend a priority order.
Before an important meeting, use AI to prepare:
Prompt:
I have a meeting tomorrow about [topic].
Attendees: [list roles]
My goal: [what I want from the meeting]
Potential objections: [what people might push back on]
Help me prepare:
1. A 30-second opening statement
2. 3 key points to make
3. Anticipated objections and how to respond
4. A closing ask
Write in Thai. Professional but conversational tone.
| Ask AI | Decide Yourself |
|---|---|
| "What are the risks I'm missing?" | Final go/no-go decision |
| "Help me compare these options" | Which values to prioritize |
| "Draft a plan for X" | Whether the plan feels right |
| "What would someone who disagrees say?" | Which stakeholder to trust |
| "Summarize the trade-offs" | Which trade-off to accept |
AI makes your thinking better by surfacing what you can't see alone. Use it to structure decisions, challenge assumptions, and explore alternatives. But the final call is always human — that's where experience, values, and context matter most.
