Here's how to write a good ChatGPT prompt. Write it the way you'd ask a person for help, and follow five simple rules. Rule one: name the task in one sentence.
Compare: Write about marketing. And: Summarize three marketing trends for a small bakery, in five bullets. Rule two: give the context it can't guess.
Who the reader is, what you already have, and what to avoid. Paste in any text you want worked on. Rule three: set the tone in plain words, like formal, friendly or serious.
OpenAI's example: Explain this in a friendly and engaging tone. Rule four: split a big job into smaller prompts, and say what matters most. You can also ask for a few options to choose from.
Rule five: read the answer, then refine it. Adjust the wording, add context, or simplify the request. OpenAI calls this iterative refinement.
When a prompt works, keep it. Kortex saves prompts with blanks you fill in each time, like audience, in double curly brackets. Then type a semicolon in any AI's chat box, and pick the prompt by its shortcut or title.
