AI Prompt Engineering
Crafting effective prompts is key to harnessing the full potential of ChatGPT. Follow these 6 steps to create prompts that generate precise and useful responses from the AI.
Description: Start with a clear action verb to state your request and specify what you want ChatGPT to do.
Example: “Generate a three-month diet plan for me.”
Description: Include background details to tailor ChatGPT’s response to your specific needs. These are the parameters of the prompt.
Example: “I’m a 250 pound male looking to lose 20 pounds in three months, with limited time to cook.”
Description: Give examples to guide ChatGPT on the style, structure, and tone of the response.
Example: “Use this existing job description as a format and style guide: [paste example].”
Description: Direct ChatGPT to adopt a specific character or viewpoint to enhance the response.
Example: “Respond as a physical therapist with 20 years of experience suggesting a rehab program for tennis elbow.”
Description: Define how you want the response structured, such as in paragraphs, bullet points, or tables.
Example: “Summarize the feedback in a table with columns for feedback, priority level, and difficulty to address.”
Description: Indicate the mood or style of the language ChatGPT should use in its response.
Example: “Write the email with a professional yet approachable tone.”
