The Story

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

Hanna is a support agent at a car rental company in Munich. Eight years in, 847 tickets in the queue, and a mandatory all-hands meeting about AI that lands on her calendar on a Monday.

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.

What You'll Learn

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

You already brief new colleagues with context, tone, and goals. AI responds to exactly the same approach — and ignores requests the same way an unbriefed hire does.

Show, don't tell

When you show someone three examples of the kind of response you want, they produce it better than any written rule could specify. AI works the same way.

Make it show its work

You wouldn't approve a colleague's recommendation without understanding their reasoning. Ask AI to think out loud and you can catch the flaw before it becomes your problem.

What AI must never handle alone

You already know which conversations need a human. Bereavement, disputes, legal threats. AI needs the same rules written down — or it will handle them with confidence and without judgment.

Stopping AI from making things up

Give it your own documents. Require it to cite them. Tell it to say "I'm not sure" when it isn't. The same accountability you'd ask of any colleague who speaks on your behalf.

More context is not always better

A ten-page email gets a worse reply than a clear one-pager. You already know this. The same principle applies to AI — relevance matters more than volume.
