Why Industry Buzzwords Matter in Your AI Instructions
Speaking your professional language makes AI outputs feel tailored, not generic.
The Language Gap
Here's something most people miss: AI doesn't automatically know your industry's language. Without guidance, it defaults to generic business-speak that might not resonate with your audience.
When you include industry-specific terminology in your instructions, AI outputs instantly feel more authentic and relevant.
Examples by Industry
Software/Tech:
"Use terms like sprint, ship, deploy, MVP, technical debt. Understand the difference between frontend/backend. Know that 'agile' is a methodology, not just an adjective."
Healthcare:
"Understand clinical terminology. Know the difference between EMR and EHR. Be aware of HIPAA implications. Use patient-centered language."
Finance:
"Be comfortable with terms like ROI, EBITDA, runway, cap table. Understand the difference between seed, Series A, etc. Know standard financial modeling concepts."
Marketing:
"Use terms like CAC, LTV, conversion rate, funnel stages. Understand the difference between brand and performance marketing. Know common marketing tech stack components."
Legal:
"Use precise legal terminology when appropriate. Understand the difference between advice and information. Be aware of jurisdictional considerations."
What to Include
In your custom instructions, add a section about your industry context:
Industry: "I work in [industry]"
Role context: "I frequently communicate with [audiences]"
Key terminology: "Understand and use these terms: [list]"
What to avoid: "Don't explain basic industry concepts I already know"
The Expertise Assumption
One powerful technique: tell AI to assume a certain level of expertise in your field.
"Assume I have 10 years of experience in B2B SaaS marketing. Don't explain basic concepts like funnel stages or attribution models. Jump straight to strategic recommendations."
This prevents AI from over-explaining things you already know, making outputs much more useful.
