How to talk to Ted
Ted works best when you give real context, name the desired outcome, and ask for something you can inspect.
Overview
Ask for outcomes, not vibes.
Ted is the operator inside Foundable. You do not need a perfect prompt, but you do need to point the conversation toward an outcome: build something, grow something, earn something, or understand something.

How should I talk to Ted in Foundable?
Talk to Ted by naming the business outcome, sharing useful context, and asking for a reviewable artifact such as a page outline, launch plan, lead list, outreach draft, pricing test, or first revenue path.
What makes a good Ted request?
A good Ted request includes the situation, audience, constraints, desired output, and the signal you want to learn from. That helps Foundable turn the conversation into concrete build, grow, or earn work.
Give business context
Useful context includes the audience, offer, price, tool stack, deadline, prior attempts, customer language, and what would count as success.
Name the output
Ask for a specific artifact: landing page outline, outreach list, sales copy, research brief, weekly review, or launch plan.
Ask Ted to narrow
When the idea is wide, ask Ted to identify the riskiest assumption and the smallest test.
What you leave with
Better conversations with clearer outputs.
