AI Prompting for EAs

Stop rewriting AI outputs. Learn practical prompting techniques designed for admins to get clearer, more reliable drafts from AI tools.

What's Included?

AI is quickly becoming part of everyday administrative work, but getting real value from it hinges on how well you prompt. Many admins understand what AI chatbots can do, but still struggle to generate clear, reliable drafts without spending significant time editing.

This course closes that gap.

You’ll learn why prompting matters, how to think more clearly before you type, and how to guide AI to produce higher-quality results using Carve’s practical COIF prompting framework. You’ll learn the common pitfalls to avoid, pro level prompting techniques, and a chance to get hands-on practice with real admin scenarios.

Who Will Benefit?

This course is ideal for admin professionals at any level, from early career admins to senior EAs, who are new to AI or already using AI daily but feel they’re only scratching the surface. It’s especially valuable if you’re spending too much time correcting or rewriting AI outputs and want to get genuinely useful drafts faster.

Level of Difficulty/Prerequisites: 

No prior AI or prompting experience is needed for this session. Participants simply need access to an AI chatbot (like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) and need to be able to access a publicly available Miro board and Mentimeter link to join the hands-on practice (no need for Miro/Mentimeter account). The course is tool agnostic, so attendees are welcome to use whichever AI tool they already have access to at work.

Course Schedule

Session 1: Prompting Foundations

This session introduces the fundamentals of prompting and why it’s the single biggest factor in getting useful, reliable outputs from AI. You’ll learn the COIF prompting framework and see examples of how small changes in input dramatically improve results.

In this session, you will learn how to:

  • Understand what prompting really is (and why it matters more than the tool)
  • Use the COIF framework to structure clearer, higher-quality prompts
  • Identify the key elements every strong prompt should include
  • Apply the framework through real admin-focused demos

Bonus Resource: COIF Prompting Framework

Not all prompts fail for obvious reasons. In this session, we’ll break down real examples of weak prompts, learn common pitfalls, and see how to diagnose and fix issues that lead to vague, generic, or unusable outputs.

In this session, you will learn how to:

  • Spot the most common prompting mistakes admins make
  • Diagnose why a prompt isn’t producing useful results
  • Improve outputs by refining context, instructions, and format
  • Learn from side-by-side demos of “before” and “after” prompts

Bonus Resource: Prompt Dissection

This session brings everything together. You’ll recap the key prompting principles, explore how AI can be used as a thought partner (not just a task doer), and practice writing and refining prompts in real time with guidance and feedback.

In this session, you will learn how to:

  • Bring the COIF framework and prompting tactics together in practice
  • Use AI as a thought partner for planning, problem-solving, and decision support
  • Write, test, and refine prompts live using real admin scenarios
  • Build confidence applying prompting techniques to your day-to-day work

Bonus Resource: Prompts for EA Thought Partnership

This session goes beyond one-off prompts to show how tech-savvy EAs can use different types of models and advanced prompting techniques to partner with AI on large-scale, complex projects.

In this session, you will learn how to:

  • Use prompting tactics for complex or multi-stage tasks
  • Break down messy or unclear requests into workable steps
  • Guide AI through iteration without starting from scratch
  • Apply pro-level techniques that reduce editing and rework
