”Write a report"
"Write a Q1 2024 marketing performance report. About 2 A4 pages, including key KPIs and improvement areas."
"Fix this code"
"This Python code throws a TypeError. Find the cause and provide the fixed code.”
Specify the output format
Specifying the desired output format reduces post-processing time.
“Organize as a table”
“Write in markdown”
“Output as JSON”
“Explain step by step with numbered items”
Assign a role
Giving the AI a specific role yields more expert-level answers.
“You’re a senior Python developer. Review this code.”
“Analyze this campaign strategy from a marketing expert’s perspective.”
If you reuse the same role often, register it as an Agent so you don’t have to specify the role each time.
Break it into steps
For complex work, splitting into steps tends to produce better results than asking for everything at once.
