Generative AI – Prompts
5 Tips
- Talk to the AI just like you would talk to someone you are onboarding as a new employee. You don’t need to be technical, but it helps if you are specific and explain what you are trying to accomplish.
- Provide Context: You could ask AI “What should I make for Christmas dinner this year?” and you will get an answer, but if you provide context like “My parents along with my brother and his wife are coming over to my house for Christmas this year. I want to impress them with a four-course dinner that includes wine pairings. My mother does not eat fish and my brother is allergic to nuts. What are a few options for each of the courses that would go together nicely, share some ingredients to make it cost efficient, and isn’t too difficult to prepare because I am a novice cook?” you will get an answer that will be much more helpful.
- Give a persona: “Act as…” is a powerful tool. This command allows users to enter a persona or character they would like the AI to adopt for a conversation, or towards a desired outcome.
- Ask questions! AI is filled with information and can help you speed up your knowledge of how best to use it or learn about pretty much anything.’
- Ask AI to ask you what it needs. If you are struggling with what context you should provide, start the conversation with a prompt like “In a few minutes I will ask you to [whatever the task is] and I want to make sure you are best prepared to accomplish that task. Ask me 10 questions that will help prepare you to do your best work.”
