See the difference a better prompt makes

Pick your role and type what you’d normally ask an AI. A live AI answers it as typed, then rewrites it as a structured prompt and answers that too — side by side. Then work out what the time savings are worth to your team.

Your raw prompt and the refined version will appear side by side here.

AI security

Secure AI without slowing down

Most AI risk in Australian businesses comes from three places. Here’s what to do about each — this week.

Data

Shadow AI

Staff paste client data into unapproved AI tools, with no contract, log or owner.

Do this: offer approved tools first, then block the rest.

Agents

Prompt injection

Hidden instructions in emails, web pages and files hijack AI assistants and agents.

Do this: keep untrusted content separate, and require a person to approve sensitive actions.

Fraud

Deepfake payment scams

A cloned voice or video of an executive pushes an “urgent” payment or bank-detail change.

Do this: verify every payment change on a known phone number.

Privacy Act

Automated-decision transparency

From 10 December 2026, your privacy policy must explain substantially automated decisions that significantly affect people.

Do this: list where AI makes or shapes decisions about customers or staff.
