• Iterate: If the AI gives you a generic answer, follow up with, "Make it more funny," "Make it harder," or "Add a real-world example."

• Platform Specifics: If you are using Curipod, ask for "Polls" and "Word Clouds." If you are using Kahoot, ask specifically for "multiple choice with 4 options."
