PROMPTS

4. AI is only as good as the prompt you provide it.
You shouldn’t automatically go with the
fi
rst search
result you obtain.Neither should you automatically
go with the
fi
rst AI output.
Tweak those prompts!

6. Provide more context - Give the AI details about who the audience is,
what style you want (conversational, formal, etc.), and the purpose of the
generated text.
Specify the tone - Tell the AI directly if you want the tone to be humorous,
serious, sarcastic, optimistic, etc.
Set the length - Tell the AI approximately how long you want the
generated text to be (number of words, sentences, or paragraphs).
Give examples - Provide 1-2 examples of what you’re looking for to guide
the AI.
Use creative language - Instead of just saying "write a funny story", try
something like "write a humorous fairy tale featuring talking animals and
lots of plot twists."
Avoid repetition - If the AI starts repeating itself, rephrase the prompt to
steer it in a fresh direction.

7. Split into bullet points - For long requests, break it down into clear
bullet points to keep the AI focused.
Clarify ambiguities - If the initial result is unclear or wanders o
ff
course, clarify any ambiguous parts of your original prompt.
Limit scope - Narrow down broad requests by providing constraints
around subject matter, terminology, voice, length, or other parameters.
Be speci
fi
c - Quantify requests as much as possible - for example
"write a 300 word blog post" rather than just "write a blog post."
Edit incrementally - Take the AI's initial attempt and provide feedback
on what to keep/change rather than starting over from scratch.
Personify the AI - Speak to it directly as a helpful assistant to get
better ideas tailored to your needs.

8. Incorporating Context: "Generate a short story set in a
futuristic city where robots have taken over.”
Specifying Tone: "Write a cheerful poem about the
beauty of nature and the joy of discovery.”
Providing Constraints: "Create a dialogue between two
characters, but they can only speak in questions.”
Adding Details: "Generate a recipe for a mouthwatering
chocolate cake with a surprise ingredient.”
Setting the Scene: "Write a descriptive paragraph about
a peaceful beach at sunset."
