7 Slow AI Prompts for Reflection

Seven prompts that shift AI from quick assistant to slower companion, surfacing deeper perspectives instead of rushing to closure.

What's inside:

• Seven copy-and-paste prompts designed to slow AI down
• Surface Assumptions, Generate Alternatives, Explore Limits, Invert the Frame, Add Friction, Stress Test, Human Check
