Ask HN: What hacks/tips do you use to make AI work better for you?

I’ve found that breaking down a task into smaller parts before asking Cursor to help with each one makes a huge difference. Instead of tackling a big task all at once, guiding it step-by-step leads to much better results.

I also use ChatGPT to break the task into smaller tasks.

What’s a workflow tip or strategy you’ve picked up that others might benefit from?
