Prompts Solve Most Daily Tasks
- A basic prompt is simply the question or context you send into the AI chat window.
- Simple prompts solve most daily tasks like finding articles or copyediting quickly and effectively.
Structure Prompts To Reduce Ambiguity
- Use structured prompts with labels, bullet points, and headings to reduce ambiguity.
- Provide clear roles, tasks, and context so the model spends compute solving the problem, not deciphering your words.
Give Roles And Explicit Tasks
- When tasks are complex, specify a role, explicit goals, and step-by-step tasks in the prompt.
- Attach the full context or documents labeled clearly under a context section so the model can reference them.
