Reading/Writing Decimals: Read 0.75 as "zero point seventy-five". Write decimals up to the thousandths place.

AI tips

Use a different "chat" for every new AI request. This ensures that the AI tool always starts fresh and does not get confused with the details from your previous request.

Be specific with your parameters. AI tools respond better when provided with more detailed information.
- For example, ✔ Conversion of units of length, mass, capacity, and time will work better than ✘ Measurement and geometry.

If you need more details, you can ask the AI tool to elaborate.
- For example, you can say: Give me more details about the performance task you provided.

Use the "regenerate" feature if you want a better response without having to paste the prompt again. This feature is also helpful in cases where the AI tool produces an incorrectly formatted response.
