How to Improve a Prompt

The first Prompt Engineering Mastermind! 50+ people attended.

People presented prompts for us to collaboratively improve:

1. Prompt for instructions on how to building a website using WordPress. ChatGPT  fixated on prior information. Starting a new conversation cleared that out.
2. Prompt for a "therapist-like" persona, that leads a conversation and responds contextually. We experimented and ultimately settled on not just roleplaying, but roleplaying with a specific famous therapist, and got good results.
3. Prompt for creating carousel content (e.g. swipeable slide content typically found on Instagram and LinkedIn). The biggest improvement were telling ChatGPT to: 
   1. Generate the text first, then "step by step" (which forces meta-cognition) break it into separate phrases for each of the 10 slides. 
   2. Ensure each slide builds upon the previous one and creates a cohesive narrative. The final result is more connected and improved, meeting the user's objectives.

Additional topics we covered:

• Helpful extensions for ChatGPT
• The importance of using one conversation for a prompt building prompt, and testing each iteration of that prompt in a *new* conversation
• In-depth explanation of meta prompting, which involves building a persona model for ChatGPT to help it interact more effectively
• Poll of the attendees overwhelmingly voted for masterminds being weekly, rather than biweekly.
