# [Video How-To:] Turn AI into a useful editor for thought leadership

In this episode of *How-To In Under Two*, Critical Legal Content Founder Tom Hagy discusses how to work with AI tools as you would a junior editor. Rather than treating AI as a finished-article generator, the key is to direct it clearly, review its output critically, and refine it through follow-up questions.

In the conversation with Paul Ryplewski, the focus is on prompting with specificity—setting boundaries around tone, style, and scope—and applying a “smell test” to every draft. By pushing for deeper detail and sharper answers, professionals can use AI to strengthen their thought leadership without outsourcing judgment.
