"Andriy Onufriyenko / Moment / Getty Images Writing a ChatGPT prompt is more than just asking a one-sentence question. It often involves providing relevant background information to set the context of the query. Also: How to turn ChatGPT into your AI coding power tool - and double your output Let's say that you want to prepare for a marathon (for the record, I do not run, dance, or jump -- this is merely an example). You could ask ChatGPT:"
"However, you'll get a far more nuanced answer if you add that you're training for your first marathon. Try this instead: I am a beginner runner and have never run a marathon before, but I want to complete one in six months. How can I prepare for a marathon?"
"I am planning to travel to Spain in a few months and would like to learn some basic Spanish to help me communicate with local residents. I am looking for online resources that are suitable for beginners and provide a structured and comprehensive approach to learning the language. Can you recommend some online resources for learning Spanish as a beginner?"
"I am a business owner interested in exploring how blockchain technology can be used to improve supply chain efficiency and transparency. I am looking for a clear and concise explanation of the technology and examples of how it has been used in the context of supply chain management. Can you explain the concept of blockchain technology and its potential applications in supply chain management?"
Providing specific context, background, goals, constraints, and examples when prompting ChatGPT produces more focused and nuanced answers. Identifying user level, timeframe, or purpose refines recommendations, such as a beginner runner seeking a six-month marathon plan. Stating desired output format, length limits, or setting location and character details shapes creative outputs like a short story set in 2339 Boston inside a Victorian bookstore. Requesting clear explanations plus practical examples yields actionable technical guidance, as with blockchain use cases for supply chain management. Short, generic prompts tend to produce broader, less tailored responses.
