Step 1: Give the Gen AI a roleGen AI works best when it knows who it is supposed to act like. Do you want a coach, a professor, an analyst, a storyteller?
Example: You are an expert in political speech writing and rhetoric. Step 2: Add the contextEstablishing context involves presenting the background or rationale behind your inquiry.
Example: We are preparing a submission for an upcoming academic conference. This contextual framing enables the AI to better understand the scope, purpose, and constraints of your task Step 3: What is the objective/goal?What do want from the AI?
Do you want advice, structure, creativity? Example: I want creative help from you to write a speech. Step 4: Set the toneTone reflects the emotional feeling of the response. In academic settings, this often leans toward being formal, objective, and precise. For coaching, you might want a calm, encouraging voice.
Example: Be optimistic, credible, empathetic, lightly humorous. Step 5: Choose the formatHow would you like the output to be structured. Do you want bullet-points, a general outline, a formal abstract, or a bridge between two paragraphs?
Example: Present the results as a table with 3 columns and 4 rows. Each column and row should include the title Step 6: Who is the end user or recipientWho is going to hear or read the finished task? Students or participants at a conference? The general public or business leaders or teachers? Or 10 year old pupils at a school?
Example: The audience will be social workers and police officers attending a conference about drug related violence in deprived areas. Example
Step 7: Any other or specific informationDo you want to include any anecdotes? Perhaps relate it to mountains and a sense of freedom.
Example: Include an anecdote about unexpected mountain weather and the need for teamwork. Also include a humorous story about tacos as a metaphor for inclusivity. Step 8: A previous example or model?Do you a model which the output could aspire to. Perhaps a previous paper you had written or a speech that you had given. This model will help the Gen AI produce an output that will 'have the feel' of the original.
Example: Use this attached essay as a model for the tone and layout of my request. |
