Figuring out the best prompt to get ChatGPT is an underrated skill. I feel the most successful people in this Generative AI race will be the ones that figure out how to prompt these LLMs to optimize for the best, most reliable output.

I built my last entire SaaS code ArchitectAI with ChatGPT (as own gpt-code challenge), so I have experience a lot , when you are coding with ChatGPT, and gpt has not yet caught Alzheimer's (loses context because there is no built-in memory yet) by the time of your new question - you can specify how something - "look above information" .. or something like "related to above ... .. your question ... " and also the gpt quite often hallucinates and invents data then the phrase will help you - "check yourself ... " or copy-paste the chat answer again with questions "is this correct?" ...

Yea, half of the battle is in getting the right prompts. Here are my tips: - Be clear and specific about what you're looking for. Provide enough context. Giving examples also helps. - Use simple language. No need to overcomplicate - Ask open-ended questions. ChatGPT will often be able to suggest things you haven't thought about.

My top prompt hacks are: 1. "In the voice / style of..." - to get the output format I want 2. "You must include / do not ignore" - to make sure the model takes the most important part of your prompt into account 3. Engage in back and forth. Shamelessly ask it to refine the output until you are happy!

Totally agree here. We used to really struggle with prompt versioning and collaboration so we built https://prompthub.us/ to help! We've found that wrapping examples in triple quotes helps, and speaking in the affirmative ("speak like this") rather then in the negative ("don't speak like this")

Prompt hacks and cheatsheets created by ChatGPT's developers are valuable tools for maximizing success. They provide tips on structuring prompts, utilizing system messages, and giving specific instructions to guide the model's responses. These resources empower users to optimize their prompts and get accurate, relevant replies.

- i write prompts only in English - I always add 'act like a...' when I give a task - I try to include as much details as I can

I shared this today on my LinkedIn. I hope it helps! Everyone is sharing prompts, but no one is telling you how to structure them for the best outcome. This is how I structure my prompts. 🙃 🔻 Structure 🔻 •Imagine you are [character name] [verb] [format & length] [objective]. •The result must contain relevant [data]. •Write with a [tone of voice] for [audience]. 1. Character Name (e.g. digital nomad) 2. Verb (create) 3. Format & Length (short-length, 5-bullet summary) 4. Objective (showcasing) 5. Data (the most common challenges of traveling and working online) 6. Tone of Voice (inspiration) 7. Audience (young digital nomads) 🔻 Full prompt 🔻 •Imagine you're a digital nomad. •Create a short-length, 5-bullet summary showcasing the most common challenges of traveling and working online. •Write with inspiration for young digital nomads.

I always get the best results by providing 1-3 examples in the exact format I want like @jacqueline_xu mentioned!

Personification has worked great for me - Assume that you are an "business analyst" working for a "startup", help me solve the query.

I use a prompt generator in an AI agent builder platform to generate optimal prompts. (often use mindpal.space for this purpose) After that, I just add my specific requirements of style, tone, and format of an answer.

I asked this to bard and here is the answer Ask me specific questions: The more specific your questions are, the better I can help you. Provide me with examples: If you can provide me with examples of websites that you like, I can use them to help you design your own website. Be patient: I am still under development, but I am learning new things every day. If I don't understand your question or I can't help you, please be patient and I will do my best to improve.

Also share the Prompt Generator Prompt with you! Must have!! " Your job is to generate system prompts for GPT-4. The prompts you will be generating will be for freeform tasks, such as generating a landing page headline, an intro paragraph, solving a math problem, etc… In your generated prompt, you should describe how the AI should behave in plain English. Include what it will see, and what it's allowed to output. Be creative with prompts to get the best possible results. The AI knows it's an AI -- you don't need to tell it this. Most importantly, output NOTHING but the prompt. Do not include anything else in your message. I’ll provide information in the next message. "

Mastering the art of prompting is like having a secret key to unlock ChatGPT's full potential. One thing we've observed at Knowlee is that specificity is key. Instead of vague queries, being precise and detailing the context can make a world of difference. For instance, rather than saying 'tell me about AI', guiding the prompt like 'explain the benefits of AI in modern marketing strategies' yields more focused results. It's all about leading the conversation! And as we integrate AI assistants like Knowlee into our daily tasks, refining our prompt game will be super crucial.
