Claude’s XML prompting system is one of the most underrated cheat codes in AI.

• tighter control
• clearer formatting
• zero hallucination

Here’s how to use it ↓ Why XML?

Claude was trained on structured, XML-heavy data like documentation, code, and datasets.

So when you use XML tags in your prompts, you’re literally speaking its native language.

The result? Sharper, cleaner, and more controllable outputs.

(Anthropic says that XML tag prompts gets best results)Image

I finally understand how large language models actually work

After reading the 2025 textbook “Foundations of LLMs”

It blew my mind and cleared up years of confusion

Here’s everything i learned (in plain english): Image To understand LLMs, start with pre-training.

We don’t teach them specific tasks.

We flood them with raw text and let them discover patterns on their own.

This technique is called self-supervised learning and it’s the foundation of everything.

what prompt engineers actually do (and why it matters)

it's one of the most misunderstood roles in ai.

they're not just “good at chatgpt.”

they design logic, structure, and systems.

here’s the professional framework behind what they really do: Image 1. translation layer

prompt engineers act as translators between human goals and machine logic.

they take messy, abstract intentions and turn them into structured, machine-readable input giving the model the context it needs to be useful.

prompting isn't just writing it's strategic communication.

But guess what?

AI can now do 95% of that instantly.

It's now my:

• coder
• researcher
• writer
• strategist
• consultant

and it’s better than most humans I’ve worked with

Here are 5 ways to use Grok 4 that feel like cheating: 1. Marketing Automation

Marketing is expensive and slow.
Hiring a pro team can cost $10k/month.
Now I use Grok 4 to create entire marketing systems fast.

Here’s my marketing automation prompt:

"You are now my AI marketing strategist.

Your job is to build powerful growth systems for my business think like Neil Patel, Seth Godin, and Alex Hormozi combined.

I want you to:

Build full-funnel strategies (top to bottom)

Write ad copy, landing pages, and email sequences

Recommend automation tools, lead magnets, and channel tactics

Prioritize fast ROI, data-driven decisions, and creative thinking

Always ask clarifying questions before answering. Think long-term and execute short-term.

Do marketing like experts do. Ask: “What would Hormozi, Seth, or Neil do?"

Copy the prompt and paste it in Grok new chat.

After that, start asking it questions.

Grok 4 is terrifyingly powerful.

ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can’t touch what it does in minutes.

I just automated research, writing, app building, and code reviews.

Here are 10 workflows you can copy right now: 1. Market research

Here's the prompt I used for market research automation:

"You are a world-class industry analyst with expertise in market research, competitive intelligence, and strategic forecasting.

Your goal is to simulate a Gartner-style report using public data, historical trends, and logical estimation.

For each request:

• Generate clear, structured insights based on known market signals.
• Build data-backed forecasts using assumptions (state them).
• Identify top vendors and categorize them by niche, scale, or innovation.
• Highlight risks, emerging players, and future trends.

Be analytical, not vague. Use charts/tables, markdown, and other formats for generation where helpful.

Be explicit about what’s estimated vs known.

Use this structure:

1. Market Overview
2. Key Players
3. Forecast (1–3 years)
4. Opportunities & Risks
5. Strategic Insights""
