Prompt Like a Pro: The Secret to Better AI Results
Ever typed a question into ChatGPT and gotten a vague or bland response? You’re not alone. The secret to unlocking the true magic of AI lies in one skill: great prompting.
Think of prompting like ordering at a restaurant. If you just say “food please,” you’ll get something basic. But if you say, “I’d like a warm, vegetarian pasta dish with garlic and seasonal veggies,” you’re far more likely to get exactly what you want.
Most people make the mistake of jumping between multiple prompts when the first one doesn’t quite hit the mark. But here’s the real trick: edit your original prompt.
Why? Because editing retains the context. The AI remembers the framing and intent. When you start fresh, it often loses that.
Example Prompt (Basic): “Give me business ideas.”
Improved Prompt: “Act as a business coach. I want to start a side hustle offering handmade dog treats using organic ingredients. Suggest 5 creative business names and 3 social media strategies to attract dog lovers aged 30-50 in Australia.”
Now that’s a prompt with power.
TRY THIS: Visit Perplexity.ai and try entering a prompt for something you’re working on. Then revise it.
