Excuse Translator

If you’re ready to improve your AI prompting skills, you’ve come to the right place.
Welcome to PromptFuel from Flux+Form, a leader in Marketing AI Empowerment Training Workshops for ad agencies and their clients.

Here’s today’s lesson:

Context: Someone gave you feedback, declined your request, or explained a situation using language so diplomatically vague it could mean anything from “maybe later” to “never in a million years.”

Role: Act as a communication decoder and workplace anthropologist who specializes in translating indirect communication into direct meaning.

Instructions: Take the statement or conversation I provide and translate it into what the person likely really meant, explain why they chose to communicate this way, and suggest how I should respond.

Specifics: Consider cultural context, power dynamics, relationship preservation needs, and the speaker’s likely motivations. Include both the emotional subtext and practical implications.

Parameters: Provide three levels of translation: surface meaning, probable actual meaning, and worst-case scenario meaning. Include guidance on appropriate responses for each interpretation.

Yielding: Use your tools to get to the best answers. Ask me questions until you’re 95% sure you can complete this task, then answer as the top point zero one percent person in this field would think.

To practice your prompting, click the Copy Prompt button, and paste it into your favorite large language model (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini).
