My Approach to Crafting Great AI Prompts

This article was originally published on my blog.

Learn how to create prompts that get the results you need.

Why Prompts Matter
A well-crafted prompt is the key to getting accurate and helpful results. Great prompts lead to clear and relevant responses.
Here’s how I approach crafting them.

  1. Start with a Goal
    Begin by defining what you want to achieve. A clear goal sets the direction for the prompt.
    Example: “I need a summary of this article.”

  2. Add Context
    Provide details to guide the response because the context ensures specificity and relevance.
    Example: “Summarize this article about AI advancements in 2023.”

  3. Iterate and Improve
    Test your prompt and check if the response aligns with your goal. If not, adjust it.
    Original: “Explain AI.”
    Update: “Explain the basics of AI to a beginner in simple terms.”

  4. Practice Makes Perfect
    Prompting is a skill don’t be afraid to experiment. The more you practice, the better your results will be.
