Tips when Writing AI Prompts

While AI is a powerful tool, the quality of its output relies on the clarity and specificity of your instructions. Follow these tips to get the most out of your AI interactions:

  1. Crystal Clear Instructions: Avoid ambiguity. Be explicit about your desired format, length, style, and tone. Instead of saying, "Write something about Korea," try to write a 300-word blog post highlighting the top 5 tourist attractions in Seoul, Korea."

  2. Context is very Important: Provide the AI with relevant background information. If you're asking for a poem about the Masskara Festival, describe its significance, atmosphere, colors, and emotions. Also, try to experiment with negative AI prompts. The more context you provide, the better the AI can tailor its response.

  3. Experiment with Wording: Don't be afraid to try different phrasings and keywords. If the first result isn't quite right, rephrase your prompt or use synonyms. This iterative process can lead to surprisingly better outcomes.

  4. Learn from Feedback: Pay attention to the AI's responses. If they're not what you expected, analyze why. Did you give enough information? Was your request too broad? Use this feedback to refine your prompts and get closer to your desired results.


  5. Additional Tips:

  • Use Examples: If you have a specific style or format in mind, provide an example like the ones shown above to guide the AI.

  • Set the Tone: Whether you want a formal report or a casual conversation, indicate the desired tone in your prompt. Learn what to avoid when writing AI prompts.

  • Break Down Complex Tasks: If you have a large project, break it into smaller, more manageable tasks with separate prompts.

Conclusion

Don't just be a passive user of AI – become an active director. By knowing how to write the right  AI prompts and understanding how prompt engineering works,  you can experience the full potential of AI and achieve results that once seemed impossible.

  1. --------------------------------------- 
Answer the question based on the context below. Keep the answer short and concise. Respond "Unsure about answer" if not sure about the answer.

Context: Teplizumab traces its roots to a New Jersey drug company called Ortho Pharmaceutical. There, scientists generated an early version of the antibody, dubbed OKT3. Originally sourced from mice, the molecule was able to bind to the surface of T cells and limit their cell-killing potential. In 1986, it was approved to help prevent organ rejection after kidney transplants, making it the first therapeutic antibody allowed for human use.

Question: What was OKT3 originally sourced from?

Answer:

Output:

Mice.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Text Classification

So far, you have used simple instructions to perform a task. As a prompt engineer, you need to get better at providing better instructions. But that's not all! You will also find that for harder use cases, just providing instructions won't be enough. This is where you need to think more about the context and the different elements you can use in a prompt. Other elements you can provide are input data or examples.

Let's try to demonstrate this by providing an example of text classification.

Prompt:

Classify the text into neutral, negative or positive. 

Text: I think the food was okay. 
Sentiment:

Output:

Neutral

You gave the instruction to classify the text and the model responded with 'Neutral', which is correct. Nothing is wrong with this but let's say that what you really need is for the model to give the label in the exact format you want. So instead of Neutral, you want it to return neutral. How do you achieve this? There are different ways to do this. You care about specificity here, so the more information you can provide the prompt, the better results. You can try providing examples to specify the correct behavior. Let's try again:

Prompt:

Classify the text into neutral, negative or positive. 

Text: I think the vacation is okay.
Sentiment: neutral 

Text: I think the food was okay. 
Sentiment:

Output:

neutral

Perfect! This time the model returned neutral which is the specific label you were looking for. It seems that the example provided in the prompt helped the model to be specific in its output.

To highlight why sometimes being specific is important, check out the example below and spot the problem:

Prompt:

Classify the text into nutral, negative or positive. 

Text: I think the vacation is okay.
Sentiment:

Output:

Neutral

What is the problem here? As a hint, the made-up nutral label is completely ignored by the model. Instead, the model outputs Neutral as it has some bias towards that label. But let's assume that what you really want is nutral. How would you fix this? Maybe you can try adding descriptions to the labels or add more examples to the prompt? If you are not sure, we will discuss a few ideas in the upcoming sections.

Conversation

Perhaps one of the more interesting things you can achieve with prompt engineering is instructing the LLM system on how to behave, its intent, and its identity. This is particularly useful when you are building conversational systems like customer service chatbots.

For instance, let's create a conversational system that's able to generate more technical and scientific responses to questions. Note how you are explicitly telling it how to behave through the instruction. This is sometimes referred to as role prompting.

Prompt:

The following is a conversation with an AI research assistant. The assistant tone is technical and scientific.

Human: Hello, who are you?
AI: Greeting! I am an AI research assistant. How can I help you today?
Human: Can you tell me about the creation of blackholes?
AI:

Output:

Sure! Black holes are regions of spacetime where the gravitational force is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. They are created when a very massive star dies and its core collapses in on itself, forming a singularity of infinite density. The intense gravity of the singularity pulls in all the matter and radiation around it, creating the black hole.

Our AI research assistant sounds a bit too technical, right? Okay, let's change this behavior and instruct the system to give more accessible answers.

Prompt:

The following is a conversation with an AI research assistant. The assistant answers should be easy to understand even by primary school students.

Human: Hello, who are you?
AI: Greeting! I am an AI research assistant. How can I help you today?
Human: Can you tell me about the creation of black holes?
AI:

Output:

Sure! Black holes are created when a very massive star runs out of fuel and collapses in on itself. The gravity of the star is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape its pull. This creates a point in space-time with an intense gravitational force called a black hole.

You made some progress. You can continue improving it. If you add more examples, you might get even better results.

--------------------------------------------

Here are some tips to keep in mind while you are designing your prompts:

Start Simple

As you get started with designing prompts, you should keep in mind that it is really an iterative process that requires a lot of experimentation to get optimal results. Using a simple playground from OpenAI or Cohere is a good starting point.

You can start with simple prompts and keep adding more elements and context as you aim for better results. Iterating your prompt along the way is vital for this reason. As you read the guide, you will see many examples where specificity, simplicity, and conciseness will often give you better results.

When you have a big task that involves many different subtasks, you can try to break down the task into simpler subtasks and keep building up as you get better results. This avoids adding too much complexity to the prompt design process at the beginning.

The Instruction

You can design effective prompts for various simple tasks by using commands to instruct the model what you want to achieve, such as "Write", "Classify", "Summarize", "Translate", "Order", etc.

Keep in mind that you also need to experiment a lot to see what works best. Try different instructions with different keywords, contexts, and data and see what works best for your particular use case and task. Usually, the more specific and relevant the context is to the task you are trying to perform, the better. We will touch on the importance of sampling and adding more context in the upcoming guides.

Others recommend that you place instructions at the beginning of the prompt. Another recommendation is to use some clear separator like "###" to separate the instruction and context.

For instance:

Prompt:

### Instruction ###
Translate the text below to Spanish:

Text: "hello!"

Output:

¡Hola!

Specificity

Be very specific about the instruction and task you want the model to perform. The more descriptive and detailed the prompt is, the better the results. This is particularly important when you have a desired outcome or style of generation you are seeking. There aren't specific tokens or keywords that lead to better results. It's more important to have a good format and descriptive prompt. In fact, providing examples in the prompt is very effective to get desired output in specific formats.

When designing prompts, you should also keep in mind the length of the prompt as there are limitations regarding how long the prompt can be. Thinking about how specific and detailed you should be. Including too many unnecessary details is not necessarily a good approach. The details should be relevant and contribute to the task at hand. This is something you will need to experiment with a lot. We encourage a lot of experimentation and iteration to optimize prompts for your applications.

As an example, let's try a simple prompt to extract specific information from a piece of text.

Prompt:

Extract the name of places in the following text. 

Desired format:
Place: <comma_separated_list_of_places>

Input: "Although these developments are encouraging to researchers, much is still a mystery. “We often have a black box between the brain and the effect we see in the periphery,” says Henrique Veiga-Fernandes, a neuroimmunologist at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon. “If we want to use it in the therapeutic context, we actually need to understand the mechanism.“"

Output:

Place: Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, Lisbon

Avoid Impreciseness

Given the tips above about being detailed and improving format, it's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to be too clever about prompts and potentially creating imprecise descriptions. It's often better to be specific and direct. The analogy here is very similar to effective communication -- the more direct, the more effective the message gets across.

For example, you might be interested in learning the concept of prompt engineering. You might try something like:

Explain the concept prompt engineering. Keep the explanation short, only a few sentences, and don't be too descriptive.

It's not clear from the prompt above how many sentences to use and what style. You might still somewhat get good responses with the above prompts but the better prompt would be one that is very specific, concise, and to the point. Something like:

Use 2-3 sentences to explain the concept of prompt engineering to a high school student.

To do or not to do?

Another common tip when designing prompts is to avoid saying what not to do but say what to do instead. This encourages more specificity and focuses on the details that lead to good responses from the model.

Here is an example of a movie recommendation chatbot failing at exactly what I don't want it to do because of how I wrote the instruction -- focusing on what not to do.

Prompt:

The following is an agent that recommends movies to a customer. DO NOT ASK FOR INTERESTS. DO NOT ASK FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

Customer: Please recommend a movie based on my interests.
Agent:

Output:

Sure, I can recommend a movie based on your interests. What kind of movie would you like to watch? Do you prefer action, comedy, romance, or something else?

Here is a better prompt:

Prompt:

The following is an agent that recommends movies to a customer. The agent is responsible to recommend a movie from the top global trending movies. It should refrain from asking users for their preferences and avoid asking for personal information. If the agent doesn't have a movie to recommend, it should respond "Sorry, couldn't find a movie to recommend today.".

Customer: Please recommend a movie based on my interests.
Agent:

Output:

Sorry, I don't have any information about your interests. However, here's a list of the top global trending movies right now: [list of movies]. I hope you find something you like!

Some of the examples above were adopted from the "Best practices for prompt engineering with OpenAI API" article.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Let's demonstrate few-shot prompting via an example that was presented in Brown et al. 2020

. In the example, the task is to correctly use a new word in a sentence.

Prompt:

A "whatpu" is a small, furry animal native to Tanzania. An example of a sentence that uses the word whatpu is:
We were traveling in Africa and we saw these very cute whatpus.
 
To do a "farduddle" means to jump up and down really fast. An example of a sentence that uses the word farduddle is:

Output:

When we won the game, we all started to farduddle in celebration.

We can observe that the model has somehow learned how to perform the task by providing it with just one example (i.e., 1-shot). For more difficult tasks, we can experiment with increasing the demonstrations (e.g., 3-shot, 5-shot, 10-shot, etc.).

Following the findings from Min et al. (2022)

, here are a few more tips about demonstrations/exemplars when doing few-shot:

  • "the label space and the distribution of the input text specified by the demonstrations are both important (regardless of whether the labels are correct for individual inputs)"
  • the format you use also plays a key role in performance, even if you just use random labels, this is much better than no labels at all.
  • additional results show that selecting random labels from a true distribution of labels (instead of a uniform distribution) also helps.

Let's try out a few examples. Let's first try an example with random labels (meaning the labels Negative and Positive are randomly assigned to the inputs):

Prompt:

This is awesome! // Negative
This is bad! // Positive
Wow that movie was rad! // Positive
What a horrible show! //

Output:

Negative

We still get the correct answer, even though the labels have been randomized. Note that we also kept the format, which helps too. In fact, with further experimentation, it seems the newer GPT models we are experimenting with are becoming more robust to even random formats. Example:

Prompt:

Positive This is awesome! 
This is bad! Negative
Wow that movie was rad!
Positive
What a horrible show! --

Output:

Negative

There is no consistency in the format above but the model still predicted the correct label. We have to conduct a more thorough analysis to confirm if this holds for different and more complex tasks, including different variations of prompts.

    And here’s a chart of verbs you can use at the start of your prompts.

    Sp‎eed up your creative workflow

    Everything begins with the written word. Before you start shooting video or checking mic levels, you have to get the ideas on paper — a roadmap to give you direction. ChatGPT can help with that. 

    Brainstorming with ChatGPT

    The best prompts are specific and include details about your audience. 

    As an example, I looked at YouTuber Susi Vidal, better known for Only Pans on TikTok with 3.4 million followers. Vidal is “trying to make cooking fun,” so let’s give her some recipes. 

    • Prompt: “Can you provide me with some [topic] ideas for [niche] food for [demographic] who are [skill level]?”

    Not bad. But there’s more nuance you can give ChatGPT to get more interesting results. 

    Use “act as” or “you are a” to add depth and context based on specific roles

    • Prompt: "Act as [famous person/job title]. Give me [number] ideas to improve [activity] to reach [goal].” 
    • Prompt: “You are a [job title] of [workplace]. How do you achieve [goal] on [platform]?"

    Prioritize odd and peculiar ideas in a list

    • Prompt: “Give some uncommon strategies that [industry, person] can use to [goal] on [platform].”

    Iterate on those uncommon ideas and have a chat with GPT

    • Prompt: “Explain how to [idea] to achieve [goal] on [platform].”

    Create a concise and snappy Twitter thread instantly

    • Prompt: “Create a Twitter thread from [idea #]. [Do/do not] include hashtags.”

    Keep going until you’re satisfied

    You can also combine all of the above tactics to dig deeper into the idea. ChatGPT is meant to be a “chat” function where you give it information and iterate on what it provides. 

    1. Prompt: “Act as [title] of [profession] doing [goal].”
    2. Prompt: “Act as [title] of [profession] doing [goal] + uncommon ideas only.”
    3. Prompt: “Make a list of 5 [idea] types of [root idea] that were viral in the past.”
    4. Prompt: “Give me 10 more examples.”

    Now that you’ve got a healthy list of ideas, let’s create a content calendar around your core topic. 

    Create a content calendar with ChatGPT

    Instead of counting calendar days to determine when you should publish what, ask ChatGPT to create a publishing schedule for you.

    • Prompt: “Can you create a content calendar for the next [month/quarter/year] that includes [specific number] of blog posts, [specific number] of 60-second social media videos, [specific number] of 5-7 minute videos, and [specific number] of email newsletters?” 

    Generate outlines to get started on your content faster

    Writing is easier with a well-structured outline in place. To cover the ideas and topics you care about, give ChatGPT relevant keywords, questions, and ideas you want to cover.

    • Prompt: "I'm writing a newsletter/blog post on [topic] and would like an outline that includes [idea/subtopic 1], [idea/subtopic 2], [idea/subtopic 3], and [idea/subtopic 4]. Can you also suggest some related topics that I can cover in the post? Please ensure that the outline includes [specific detail] and [specific detail] to provide the reader with valuable insights. I'm looking for [adjective] ideas that will capture the reader's attention and keep them engaged throughout the post."

    You can use one of the outline’s headings as a prompt and ask it to build each paragraph. 

    • Prompt: “Write me a paragraph on [insert heading]. Open with a [non-obvious/obvious/bold/counterintuitive/argumentative] statement, and develop this idea with evidence with links to sources. Then, summarize the content while transitioning into the next paragraph for [insert next heading].” 

    Write first drafts of blogs in minutes 

    You can also bypass the outline altogether and just ask ChatGPT to take the first crack at the article.

    • Prompt: “Can you write a [number]-word article about [topic], outlining the [benefits] of [product] for [reader/audience/persona]?”
    • Prompt: "Write a blog post about the impact of [specific event/news] on [specific industry or community]."
    • Prompt: "Write a blog post about the key takeaways from [insert book/article] and how they can be applied to [insert industry/field]."
    • Prompt: “Can you write a blog post arguing [for/against][subject] from the perspective of [person]? Before you do so, state the benefits of reading the blog post.”
    • Prompt: "Write a blog post about some common misconceptions about [insert topic] and how they can be corrected."
    • Prompt: "Write an explanatory blog about the process of [specific task or project] and include tips on how to do it efficiently."
    • Prompt: “Can you write a [number]-word article with a [professional/emotional/exciting/fun] tone that explains the benefits of [topic] for [reader]? The article should start by using the PAS formula to compel the reader to read the whole article, and include a call to action in the last paragraph mentioning [offer].”
    • Prompt: "Write a blog post that gives an overview of the advantages of [specific activity or hobby]. Provide [tips/insights/mistakes/lessons/etc.] and a list of the recommended equipment to get started."

    ChatGPT isn’t the greatest writer — it’ll probably produce something that’s thin on substance and thick with fluff. Your job is to update it with research and tweak it to match your writing style and brand voice. 

    Fine-tune your writing to match your voice and engage readers

    • Prompt: "Voice and style guide: Write at a [grade/degree] level. Use [clear/simple/difficult/elaborate] language. Bias toward short sentences. Avoid [jargon, acronyms etc.]."
    • Prompt: "[insert text] Rewrite my writing in a more [formal/funny/serious/sarcastic/optimistic/pessimistic/lighthearted] way.”
    • Prompt: “[insert text] Rewrite the text for readers with [education level].”
    • Prompt: "Format your response using markdown. [Use headings, subheadings, bullet points, and bold to organize the information etc.]."
    • Prompt: “Rewrite the text to be more [concise/emphatic/humorous/descriptive/persuasive/informative/action-oriented].”
    • Prompt: "Rewrite the text emulating [Ernest Hemingway, Daniel Kahneman, J.R.R. Tolkien]’s writing style."

    Generate a variety of headlines and select your favorite 

    • Prompt: "Write [number] headlines for an article on [topic] for [audience]."
    • Prompt: [paste article/podcast or video transcript] Based on this content, give me [number] headlines for [audience]. Use [keyword].” 

    You can get even better headlines for your blog or YouTube videos by giving the AI more context. Try building your ChatGPT prompt for any headline with these elements:

    Who: This is your audience. Give ChatGPT demographics, psychographics or job titles. 

    What: This should be a noun like tips, reasons, mistakes, lessons, examples, templates, etc. 

    Why: This is the reason or outcome your audience wants, like getting promoted, learning something new, living a happier life, etc. 

    The topic or industry you’re targeting. 

    The parameters around character limits. 

    • YouTube has a 100-character limit but the best titles, those that display on all devices, are 60–70 characters. 
    • Google’s max character length is 600 pixels or about 60 characters. 
    • Facebook ad headlines give you 40 characters. 
    • LinkedIn’s viewable text before the “see more” button is 210. 
    • Instagram truncates captions to 125 characters. 

    Knowing all that, here are some prompts you can use to get headlines almost instantly.

    • Prompt: “[Paste blog/transcript] Using the above, write [number] click-worthy headlines for [who] that provide [what] and [why] for [topic/industry]. Limit your character count to [number].”
    • Prompt: “Write [number] headlines for [audience/persona/job title] that provides [tips/tricks/mistakes/lessons/examples about topic] and what the outcome or benefit will come from reading.”

    Speed up your research (and a verification hack)

    ChatGPT is a good first step in your research, but it shouldn’t be the last. That’s because the AI doesn’t have any information newer than 2021, and it can also make things up entirely. Still, feel free to use the following prompts, then double-check ChatGPT’s work with the trick below.

    • Prompt: "Give me some [adjective like fun/interesting/scary] facts and statistics about [topic] that [demographic audience] needs to know."
    • Prompt: "What are the best [methods/process/frameworks] that will help [the audience] solve [problem]? Include sources and links."
    • Prompt: "Tell me about the history of [topic] as it relates to [secondary topic]. Limit your explanation to the 20th century."

    To fact-check quickly: If you use Google Docs, you can highlight the stats and facts in your copy and hit “CMD+K” on a Mac (“Windows Key+K” on a PC). It will quickly pull up the closest matching web result for the stat, which you can read to find the latest evidence.
