Why it matters
Sooner or later the AI hands you something confidently, completely wrong. The instinct is to push back harder — "no, that's not right" — but repeating yourself louder rarely works. Redirecting does.
The move: supply the missing piece
Good — "no, that's wrong"
Sharper — "that's not right — we're B2B, not consumer"
Flow — "that's off — we sell to finance teams, not consumers; redo the angle around cost control and compliance"
The Flow version doesn't just reject — it hands over the missing fact and a fresh direction. That's all it needed.
More examples
When it's drifted over a long chat, don't nudge again — reset cleanly: "let's start fresh: a 3-slide summary for the board, formal tone, numbers first." A clean reset beats fighting a drifting thread.
Now you try
Next time it misses, resist retyping the same thing — give it the one fact it was missing instead, and notice how fast it recovers.
Remember: if two or three good steers don't land, start fresh rather than grinding the same thread.
