What are AMA Sessions?#
AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions are live, interactive events where community members can ask questions directly to featured guests. These sessions bring together experts, researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners who share their knowledge, experiences, and insights with the community in real-time.
AMAs on PromptReports cover a wide range of topics including AI research methodologies, prompt engineering techniques, industry-specific intelligence, business strategy, and emerging trends. They provide unique opportunities to learn from professionals who might otherwise be difficult to access.

Asking Great Questions#
The quality of an AMA depends on the questions asked. Here is how to craft questions that lead to valuable insights:
| Question Type | Example | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Experience-based | "What was your biggest challenge when...?" | Elicits unique personal insights |
| How-to | "What is your process for evaluating...?" | Provides actionable guidance |
| Prediction | "Where do you see [topic] heading in...?" | Offers forward-looking perspective |
| Contrarian | "What is a common belief about [topic] that you disagree with?" | Surfaces non-obvious insights |
| Recommendation | "What resources would you suggest for...?" | Gives specific, curated guidance |
Do: Be Specific
Narrow questions get more useful answers than broad ones.
Do: Add Context
Brief context helps the guest tailor their response.
Avoid: Yes/No Questions
Open-ended questions lead to richer discussions.
Avoid: Multi-part Questions
Single, focused questions are easier to answer well.
