About Event

Most people prompt the AI, accept the first answer, and move on. The people getting real value are doing something different: they’re forcing the AI to pressure-test its own thinking, restate the problem in its own words and surface the assumptions it’s making. In this session, we walk through five specific prompting moves — restate, critique, constrain, compare and challenge — that change the quality of the output more than any clever phrasing ever will. You’ll practice each one on a real task and walk away with a reusable pushback checklist you can paste into any chat.

Key Takeaways:

  • Master five pressure-test moves — restate, critique, constrain, compare, challenge — that catch AI mistakes before you do.

  • Build iterative loops where the AI critiques its own work and surfaces its assumptions before you act on the output.

  • Walk away with a reusable pushback prompt template you can paste into any AI conversation.

This event is delivered by Momentum Product Co.

Join us and Momentum Product Co. for a 3-hour hands-on lab built for tech workers. Designed for engineers, PMs, designers, marketers, and ops folks bringing AI into their day-to-day, the session covers the workflows already reshaping the best tech teams — research and insight synthesis, competitive intelligence, prototyping and vibe coding. We'll also cover what to do when your org restricts tools, how to adopt AI safely, and how to choose between Claude and other tools depending on the task.

Led by Momentum founder Heather Gawel. Operator-built workflows, dedicated experts in the room, and access to the Momentum AI Community after the workshop.
