Gemini / Getting Started & Prompt Design
Gemini: ask for clarification before a large assignment
List what you know about a training session and what remains undecided. Keep budget, audience and duration visibly separate.
Environment and inputs: Gemini user guide · Feature and source access depend on the active account, app and organization settings. Optional file or app steps have a text-excerpt fallback. No fixed model version, price or usage quota is assumed.
What you will make
A practical Gemini guide to ask for clarification before a large assignment. Use the sample input and prompt, then check the result. Use a fictional office operations task as the practice setting. State the source revision and review date alongside the requested output.
Prepare the source and scope
List what you know about a training session and what remains undecided. Keep budget, audience and duration visibly separate. Open Gemini Apps and use the account and source options permitted for this assignment.
Try this prompt
In Gemini, provide the prepared input, then send the following request. For real work, replace fictional details with approved facts.
Before drafting my training plan, ask up to five questions that would change the agenda. Known: beginner staff, remote delivery. Unknown: duration, team size and practical exercise.Review the result
Questions should resolve decisions rather than repeat supplied facts. Answer them before requesting the full agenda. Record each correction and its supporting source.
If the answer is wrong or incomplete
Do not let the assistant silently pick a training length or assume every participant has the same software access. Name the exact source being used. If a connected or uploaded file is unavailable, paste a permitted excerpt and continue with that limited evidence.
Practice and completion check
Repeat with one incomplete input. Check the answer against the review criteria, remove unsupported claims and save the prompt with its source version. This workflow has not been verified in a customer deployment.
