Stop Letting AI Run Idle: From “What It Can Do” to “Where the Pain Points Are”
Generic question: “Help me write a webpage.”
Result: You get a shoddy “Hello World” page that’s completely useless.
Precise question: “My product detail page has low conversion rates. Please generate a piece of HTML+JS code to add a floating window at the bottom of the page that says ‘Hesitant? Check out user reviews’. When clicked, it should slide out 3 latest 5–star reviews, and the style must match my blue–themed website.”
Result: You receive a piece of directly embeddable interactive code that solves the problem in 20 minutes.
Core shift: Forget AI’s list of capabilities and focus on your specific obstacles. Each of the prompts below corresponds to a real pain point in work, study, or content creation.
Work First–Aid Kit: 5 Prompts to Immediately Relieve Pain Points
Pain Point 1: Receiving a Mess of Raw Requirements
A colleague or boss throws you a vague, scattered verbal request or disorganized notes, and you need to turn it into a clear plan.
Your action: Don’t organize it yourself—let Qwen3 act as your “requirement translator”.
- Prompt template: [Please organize the following messy requirements/notes into an actionable project checklist]: [Paste scattered WeChat chat records, meeting notes, or voice–to–text transcripts here]
- Organization requirements:
1. Extract the core objective (no more than one sentence).
2. Identify all explicit or implicit “specific tasks” and list them in sentences starting with verbs.
3. Mark ambiguous, contradictory, or pending confirmation points in the requirements and provide your confirmation suggestions.
4. The final output should consist of three parts: “1. Project Objective”, “2. Task List”, and “3. Pending Clarifications”.
Pain Point 2: Code Works, But Is Unreadable and Unmodifiable
You take over a piece of “gibberish” code from an open–source project or colleague with almost no comments, and changing one line breaks ten others.
Your action: Let Qwen3 be your “code tour guide”.
- Prompt template: [Please explain the function of the following code line by line, and point out key logic and potential risk]: [Paste your “gibberish” code here]
- Explanation requirements:
1. Explain by function/module instead of giving a general overview.
2. For complex logic, use analogies like “equivalent to… in real life” to illustrate.
3. Must specify: which parts are core algorithms (changing them will break the code) and which are configuration parameters (can be adjusted safely).
4. Provide a minimal safe modification example at the end: If I only want to modify the XXX function, which lines of code are the safest to change? Please provide a comparison of the code before and after modification.
Pain Point 3: Nothing to Write in Weekly/Monthly Reports
You’re swamped with trivial tasks all week, feel like you’ve accomplished nothing, and stare blankly at a blank weekly report document.
Your action: Hand over your work chat records and completed files to AI and let it help you “extract value”.
- Prompt template: [Based on the following scattered work traces, help me write a professional weekly work report]:
This week’s work traces:
Ø Completed files/outputs: (You can paste a list of file names or summaries of core content)
Ø Key communication records: (Paste critical chat snippets about work progress)
Ø Typical problems encountered and solutions: (Brief description)
- Report requirements:
1. Structure it into four sections: “Key Achievements”, “Daily Progress”, “Problems and Reflections”, and “Next Week’s Plan”.
2. Describe achievements using the structure: “By doing XX, we achieved XX, which improved/optimized XX (metrics/efficiency) by XX”.
3. Refine trivial communications into descriptions like “promoted cross–departmental alignment on XX matters”.
4. Maintain a positive and pragmatic tone, avoiding a mere list of tasks.
Pain Point 4: Understand Tutorials But Fail When Practicing Alone
You follow tutorials step–by–step smoothly, but when you close the tutorial and start from scratch on your own, you get stuck at the first step.
Your action: Don’t let AI teach new lessons—ask it to design “practice without training wheels”.
- Prompt template: I just finished learning [a certain skill, e.g., Pandas data filtering in Python]. Please design a self–practice verification checklist for me.
- Checklist requirements:
1. Provide 3 progressively difficult specific data task descriptions (e.g., “Given a sales data table sales.csv, find all orders in Shanghai with sales exceeding 10,000 yuan”).
2. Only provide task descriptions and final effect requirements, not steps or code.
3. After I complete the tasks, I can send you my code. Please act as a “code reviewer” and give me feedback and scores from three dimensions—“result correctness”, “code efficiency”, and “code conciseness”—against a best practice reference answer.
Please first output the task checklist.
Pain Point 5: Too Much Information to Form Your Own Opinion
When writing a paper or creating a plan, you collect a dozen papers/reports, get overwhelmed by information, and end up more confused.
Your action: Let AI be “the other side of the debate table” to help you sort out your thoughts.
- Prompt template: [Please act as my “opponent” to ask questions and raise doubts around the following topic]:
Topic: [Your opinion or preliminary conclusion]
Abstracts of the reference materials I’ve collected are as follows:
[Paste or summarize the core viewpoints of multiple materials]
- Please:
1. Based on the materials I provided, identify potential logical flaws or insufficient evidence in my opinion.
2. Raise at least 3 sharp questions from different angles (e.g., feasibility, cost, user experience, long–term impact).
3. Do not directly give answers; your sole task is to ask high–quality questions to challenge me.
Now start with your first question.
Quick Reference Sheet: Your Qwen3 “Symptom–Based” Practical Guide
When you encounter the following specific “symptoms”, don’t panic. Directly copy the corresponding “prescription” (core instruction) and send it to Qwen3—it will help you break through quickly. The table below features 5 of the most frequent pain point scenarios:
| Specific Symptom (Pain Point) You Encounter | Immediate Core “Prescription” (Instruction Formula) | Direct Results You’ll Get After Use |
| Messy requirements: Your boss/colleague gives you a bunch of vague, scattered verbal or written requirements, and you don’t know where to start. | [Please organize the following messy requirements into an actionable project checklist] + Paste your scattered notes/chat records. | 1. A clear one–sentence project objective. 2. A specific task list with verb–starting items. 3. A clear list of pending clarifications to know what to ask. |
| Gibberish code: You take over or find a piece of functional but completely unreadable code and dare not modify it. | [Please explain the following code line by line and point out core logic and safe modification points] + Paste your obscure code. | 1. Sectioned, analogical explanations of code functions. 2. Clear labeling of “core areas” (untouchable) and “configuration areas” (modifiable). 3. A minimal safe code modification example tailored to your needs. |
| Blank weekly report: You’re busy with trivial tasks all week, feel like “you’ve done nothing” when facing the weekly report, and can’t write about your value. | [Based on the following work traces, help me write a professional weekly report] + Paste file lists, key chat snippets, and brief problem descriptions. | 1. A well–structured (achievements, progress, problems, plans) weekly report draft. 2. Trivial tasks refined into value–reflecting descriptions (using the “By… achieving… resulting in…” structure). 3. A positive and pragmatic tone, free from a mere task list. |
| Inability to apply learning: You can follow tutorials but can’t start independently, failing to truly master the skill. | I’ve learned [a certain skill]. Please design a “self–practice verification checklist” and act as my code reviewer. | 1. 3 progressively difficult specific task descriptions (questions only, no answers). 2. After completion, receive targeted code feedback from the three dimensions of correctness, efficiency, and conciseness. |
| Creative block: You’re assigned to write about an extremely boring topic (e.g., a system notice) and have no motivation or inspiration. | I need to write an article about [boring topic]. Please first provide 3 different opening angles for me to choose from. | 1. 3 completely different framing ideas (e.g., cost perspective, story perspective, action perspective). 2. After you select one, AI can generate a complete first draft based on that angle, turning “writing” into “multiple choice”. |
