Crafting Queries

This tips and tricks was inspired by a post by the profile evolving.ai on Instagram.

A prompt that gives you accurate output should have several components. Each of these components has a different level of importance when you are writing a prompt. As general advice, the following order can generate an accurate output:

  • The role or persona you are assuming 
    • Student 
    • Developer 
    • Researcher 
    • A CFO at a Circular Economy oriented company 
  • The context
    Any information that constrain the generated answers to your goals and situation. For instance:
    I am an 80 kg male. I want to gain 5 kilograms muscle in 5 months by going two training sessions per week. Give me a 5 month training program to follow.
    The blue part provides a context (background+goal+situation) for the task (green part). 
  • The task or action you want the GPT to undertake 
    • Compare and contrast concepts 
    • Find similar things to an idea or product

  • The format of the output you want
