Prompting as a Way of Thinking: How to Talk to AI Like It Understands You

In this episode, we explore how your cognitive style shapes the way you prompt large language models like GPT-4.1, Claude 4, and Gemini 2.5 — and why understanding your own mindset leads to better, faster, and more accurate results.

We break down four core thinking styles:

Intuitive — for big-picture ideas, storytelling, and open exploration

Rational — for structured analysis, step-by-step logic, and clean instructions

Ethical — for empathy, tone, and responsibility in sensitive contexts

Practical — for hands-on, real-world tasks, coding, and implementation

You’ll learn how to design prompts that align with your natural way of thinking — and how to balance all four to unlock AI’s full potential.

Whether you're a founder, engineer, writer, researcher, or curious explorer — this guide will help you talk to AI like it truly understands you.

Based on official guides from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, plus insights from leaked system prompts and expert-level prompting handbooks.

Your thinking style is your prompting style. Let’s refine it.
