Not a Coder and New to Tech Terms? Start Your AI Journey by Understanding These 4 Key Terms

The features you use every day actually contain the best beginner's AI course inside

Want to learn AI but don't know where to start? The market is flooded with terms like prompt engineering, context processing, and Agent—each sounding more advanced than the last, as if programming knowledge is required just to get started. But perhaps you've already been using it in Feishu—you just didn't know its name.

This time, let's focus on one thing only: how to better leverage the AI skills you've already encountered in Feishu, at zero cost and without learning to code. Even small changes can instantly boost your efficiency!

Markdown: The Universal Language of the AI Era

What exactly is Markdown? Simply put, it’s using simple symbols to add structure to text, making it instantly readable by both humans and AI. For example, # indicates a heading, - denotes a list, and surrounding text with asterisks makes it bold. No need to click buttons or select fonts—formatting is achieved purely through input. The headings, lists, and bold text you use in Feishu Docs are powered behind the scenes by Markdown.

For instance, when you say, "I need a promotion plan for launching a new product, aiming to achieve 1,000 sales within 4 weeks with a budget under 50,000," AI interprets the structure as follows:

> # Task: New Product Launch Promotion Plan
> ## Goal
> Achieve 1,000 sales
> ## Constraints
> - Budget:
> - Under 50,000
> - Duration: 4 weeks
> ## Output Requirements
> 1. Divided into three sections: strategy, execution, and scheduling
> 2. Present budget in a table format

Understanding this opens up a new perspective in communicating with AI: structuring your requests properly instantly elevates the quality of output.

Prompt: No Need to Learn—Just Provide Sufficient Context

Here’s a counterintuitive truth: in many cases, ordinary users don’t need to learn complex prompting techniques. Why? Because your context is the best prompt.

Giving AI your group chat history, meeting summaries, or past documents, along with a clear description of what you need, works far better than even the most perfectly crafted prompt.

Of course, you still need to state basic requirements. Try breaking your request into four parts:

Background: What’s the situation? (“We’re holding a new product launch event next week”)
Task: What exactly needs to be done? (“Help me draft a media invitation email”)
Requirements: What are the standards? (“Formal yet engaging tone, under 200 words”)
Reference: Provide a sample or style guide (“Follow the tone from our last event”)

How to Use It in Feishu?

Feishu’s chats, meetings, and docs naturally form the most comprehensive context repository. Simply @Feishu AI within a document—it automatically reads the full content, eliminating copy-pasting. Complete context is the best prompt.

HTML: A Presentation Tool Better Than PPT

Does making PPTs feel like this for you—spending half a day adjusting layouts, struggling with alignment until your eyes hurt, redoing everything when switching templates, and still worrying that the formatting will break on someone else’s computer after sending?

There’s actually something far better than PPT: HTML web pages. Their advantages include:

No layout issues: What you see is exactly what others see—no font problems, compatibility issues, or version conflicts.

Instant publishing: Once done, it becomes a single link. Share it anywhere and it opens directly—no downloading or installing required.

Universal device compatibility: Opens seamlessly on phones, computers, and tablets, automatically adapting to screen sizes.

How to Use It in Feishu?

Simply tell Feishu AI in a chat: “Publish as publicly accessible HTML,” and it deploys with one click—easier than exporting a PPT.

Skill: Your Work Habits Can Be Summarized by AI

The first three are one-time techniques, while Skills help you perform well every time.

What is a Skill? Put simply, it’s teaching AI your preferred way of doing things.

Take writing a report as an example. The first time, you might give AI detailed instructions on format, tone, and data presentation. Once these experiences are saved as a Skill, the next time you only need to say, “Follow the same format as last time,” and it delivers a draft immediately—with significantly improved output quality.

This is the value of Skills: turning your experience into reusable capabilities.

How to Use It in Feishu?

Feishu AI’s skill library offers numerous ready-to-use Skills—just search and apply them directly.

You can also save any satisfactory workflow from your conversation with AI as a custom Skill, which can then be triggered with a single sentence next time.

These four skills can be chained together into a seamless workflow:

Use Markdown to clarify thinking → Replace complex prompts with rich context → Create final deliverables with HTML → Save repetitive tasks as Skills. Try it out now.
