Tips For Writing Prompts

When creating prompts for AI, choose words carefully, be specific and concise, provide context, and ask for more. Use the "stop" command to halt the current routine. You can also tell AI to write using specific personas or perspectives. After the generator's response, layer prompts by adding additional inputs.

Writing detailed prompts results in more accurate responses. For example:

  • Format this in APA citation format...
  • Summarize this article.
  • Please translate...
  • Write an article about the benefits of electric cars.
  • Revise this paragraph to include more information about the benefits of exercise.
  • Act as a graphic design specialist and discuss the benefits of using AI to create images.
  • Revise to also consider x.
  • Check the grammar and punctuation of this article...
  • Write a poem about food and taste.
  • Write a conversation between two roommates discussing a future trip to Germany.
  • Write a short story in the style of William Shakespeare.
  • Write a song about...
  • Write a script for a drama about three friends going to a beach for the week.
  • Write a personal essay about overcoming loss.
  • Generate a multiple-choice quiz on the causes of World War II.
