Study Notes

Optimizing prompts is key for achieving the best results with text-based models like GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini

Best Practices

Prompts should be specific
A weak prompt is "Tell me about marketing."
A strong prompt is "List three emerging digital marketing strategies for startups in 2024."
Adjust the style and tone of the output by specifying instructions like, “Rewrite this paragraph in a casual tone with a sense of humor.”
Providing context helps AI to perform better
Backstory, purpose, audience, format, and intent are useful details to include in a prompt

Applications

AI can be used for research, for example “Summarize key findings of the latest AI trends and provide citations.”
AI can be used in customer service, for example “Write an empathetic response to a customer asking for a refund.”
Content creation is another application, for example “Draft a 5-paragraph blog post about the benefits of remote work.”
