Writing your own prompts

1. Be Clear

Make your prompt easy to understand. Use clear language, and avoid jargon and technical terms. Be specific about the information you need and the format for the AI-generated content.

Write the initial prompt:

Draft a prompt that clearly communicates the desired outcome

• Examples:
• Write a speaker bio for a technology conference, focusing on their achievements and expertise in AI
2. Provide Relevant Information

Provide the AI with relevant information to generate the best content. This could include specific keywords, phrases, or topics. Provide examples or a template to help the AI understand the format and tone you are looking for.

Include relevant context and details in the prompt

• The speaker, Dr. Jane Smith, is a leading AI researcher with a Ph.D. in computer science and 10 years of experience in the field. Write a speaker bio for a technology conference, focusing on her achievements and expertise in AI

Give examples of the desired output for the AI

• The product description should highlight the smartphone's sleek design, powerful performance, and advanced camera features

Specify the format for the AI-generated content

• The bio should be in a paragraph format and include a speaker's name, title, education, experience, and key achievements

Inform the AI about the desired length of the response

• A speaker bio should be between 150 and 200 words
3. Test and Optimize

Optimize your prompt for the best results. This could include testing different prompts or using AI-generated content to refine your prompt. Keep in mind that the AI will learn and improve over time, so be patient and persistent.

Analyze the AI's response and make necessary adjustments to the prompt

• If the AI's response is too vague, add more context or examples to the prompt
• If the product description focuses too much on the design, request more emphasis on the performance and camera features
• If the summary is too detailed, ask the AI to focus on the most important points

Use the refined prompt to generate the desired content

• Write a 100-150 word product description for a 6.5-inch, 5G-capable smartphone with a 48MP camera, focusing on design, performance, and camera features
