How to Talk to Junior

How to Talk to Junior

Junior works best when you talk to it like a colleague. No special commands or syntax needed.

Junior works best when you talk to it like a colleague, not a search engine. No special commands or syntax needed.

Be specific about what you want

Instead of "help me with marketing," try "draft 3 LinkedIn post variations about our new product launch, targeting engineering managers."

Give context upfront

Junior remembers your past conversations, but for new tasks, a sentence of context goes a long way.

  • "We're launching next Tuesday. Write an internal announcement for the team."
  • "Our Q2 goal is 500 signups. Summarize which channels are working."

Set expectations clearly

Format, length, tone: say it upfront.

  • "Keep it under 200 words."
  • "Write this as bullet points, not paragraphs."
  • "Professional tone, no jargon."

Share examples

The fastest way to show Junior what good looks like is to share a reference:

  • "Here's a blog post I liked the tone of. Write something similar."
  • "Use the same format as last week's report."

Break big projects into steps

For complex work, give one step at a time. Review, then move on.

  1. "Research the top 5 competitors in our space"
  2. "Based on that, draft a comparison table"
  3. "Turn it into a one-page summary for leadership"

Correct and refine

Junior keeps full conversation context. Just tell it what to change:

  • "Too formal. Make it more casual."
  • "Good structure, but the intro needs to be stronger."
  • "Add a section about pricing."

One task per message works best

Junior will try to handle multiple requests at once, but focused asks get better results.
