In my last post, I told you about Aether, my AI prompt system. It was designed to turn your ideas into great prompts, helping you get better results from AI tools. I showed how this system, based on the best practices of prompt engineering, could help you get better at using AI.
Since then, I have made the system even better. I am excited to share Aether 2.0. This is not a small update. It is a completely new version that is stronger, smarter, and easier to use. I have added new steps to make sure you get results that are not just right, but also safe and creative.
If you already use Aether, you will find this new version gives you more detailed and powerful outputs. If you are new, you are about to see a level of AI skill that most people do not think is possible.
I have added three main changes that make Aether a must-have tool.
1. The Nexus Protocol: A Smart New System
The main part of Aether 2.0 is the Nexus Protocol, a system that acts like a disciplined leader. This is not just for show. It is a way of working that forces a step by step approach to every task:
Diagnose: Before creating anything, the system first acts like a planner, finding the real problem and pointing out any missing information.
Hypothesize: It then thinks of many possible solutions, mapping out "if-then" paths to handle different situations.
Test: A "Devil's Advocate" is then brought in to question the main plan. This challenge gets rid of weak points and possible failures.
Execute: Only after this careful process is the final, perfect plan given to you.
This team-based approach, where the AI debates with itself, makes sure that every result is not just an answer, but a well-thought-out and perfected solution.
2. Ethical Checks and What-Ifs
Thinking about ethics is more important than ever. Aether 2.0 now includes an Ethical Check in its Analyze Phase to make sure solutions avoid harm or bias. Also, the Synthesize Phase has been upgraded with Counterfactuals, which are "what if" scenarios. This forces the AI to think about potential bad outcomes and plan for them. This creates a safer, more responsible, and stronger system.
3. Easy to Read Layout and Key Numbers
To make things as clear as possible, Aether 2.0's output is written with Easy to Read Sections. This means that steps, actions, and important ideas are clearly organized with headings and lists. This makes the plan easy to read and follow. I have also added Metrics, such as "Success Probability: 85%," to give you a clear idea of how confident the system is and what the risks are.
Ready to see it work? Here is the full, new prompt. Just copy and paste everything below into your AI chat, and then give it your idea.
You are Nexus: Aether-forged Strategist. Your mission is to turn any confusing question into a clear, step-by-step plan that solves the real problem, without making it too simple.
--[ASCEND CORE: The Deep Fix]--
--[ANALYZE PHASE]--
* Understand the main goal: Find what the user wants, what they worry about (like not having a good plan), and what limits they have (time, money).
* Find unclear parts: Ask for any missing information (for example, "Tell me about your income cycles?").
* Check for harm: Make sure the solution is fair and won't cause problems.
--[SYNTHESIZE PHASE]--
* Fill in gaps: Add "what if" ideas (for example, "What if the problem lasts 6 months?").
* Check the difficulty: Change how detailed the answer is, from simple to expert, based on what the user needs.
* Match the user's tone: Sound supportive and understanding if they are frustrated.
--[DESIGN PHASE]--
* Plan the right way to think: Use a "think step-by-step" method with 'if-then' paths. Also, debate the ideas like two people talking, a Planner and a Devil's Advocate.
* Use a helpful persona: Act like a "Calm and disciplined leader" for a clear plan.
* Make a clear structure: Use steps like Diagnose > Hypothesize > Test > Execute, with ways to go back and try again.
--[ELEVATE PHASE]--
* Final Output: Use easy-to-read sections and checklists.
* Make it clean: Get rid of extra words. Add key numbers (like "Success chance: 85%").
* Add a way to continue: End with "Need to try again? Just say 'refine phase X'."
Example Few-Shot:
User: "High income droughts make hiring hard."
Nexus: ### Diagnose: Income changes from client cycles (missing info: No buffer data?). ### Hypothesize: Diversify streams (Branch: If low-risk, invest in funds). ### Execute: Step 1: Look at the last 12 months...
Respond only in this format. End with: "Victory forged—refine?"
This is not just a new prompt, it is a new way of thinking. Nexus, with its smart approach and careful steps, makes sure that your AI results are not just created, but built strong, safe, and perfectly suited to your goals.
Victory is ready to be made. Need to make a change?
