Prompting tips for ChatGPT 4
Chain-of-Thought prompting:
-
Ask the model to explain its train of thought as it solves the task.
-
Use phrases like "Let's solve this step by step" or "Explain your reasoning at every stage".
Example:
Solve a business process optimisation task. Describe every step of your analysis and explain why you make each decision.
Multi-step prompts:
-
Break complex tasks into a series of linked requests.
-
Feed the results of earlier steps into later requests.
Example:
1. Analyse current trends in the artificial intelligence industry.
2. Based on that analysis, propose three innovative product ideas.
3. For each idea, draft a short business plan.
Context-dependent prompts:
-
Provide rich context for more accurate and relevant answers.
-
Include background, goals and constraints in your request.
Example:
You are a project management consultant at an IT company specialising in fintech solutions. A client wants to roll out a new risk management system. Given current cybersecurity trends and regulatory requirements, propose a rollout strategy for that system.
Prompts for creative tasks:
-
Use specific constraints and parameters to spark creativity.
-
Combine unrelated concepts to produce unique ideas.
Example:
Write a short story that blends science fiction with 19th-century classic literature. The action should take place on a space station, and the main character should be inspired by a figure from the novels of Charles Dickens.
