Want to get more out of ChatGPT without doing extra work? These 5 simple prompt tricks are all you need. Just add a keyword, and ChatGPT instantly knows what you want. No long instructions. No guessing.
1. ELI5: Make it Super Simple
If you’re confused about something, let ChatGPT break it down like you’re 5 years old.
No fancy words. No complicated ideas.
📌 Just type: ELI5: [your topic]
You’ll get a clear, easy explanation anyone can understand. Great for learning fast.
2. TL;DR : Quick Summary
Got a long article or message you don’t feel like reading?
📌 Just type: TLDR: and paste the text after it.
ChatGPT will shorten it for you in a few lines.
Perfect when you want to know what something says—without reading all of it.
3. Jargonize: Sound Smart & Professional
Want your writing to sound more formal or technical?
📌 Use: Jargonize: before your sentence.
ChatGPT will turn regular words into something that sounds more expert or polished.
Great for work emails, LinkedIn posts, reports, or presentations.
4. Humanize: Make it Sound Real
Tired of replies that feel robotic or awkward?
📌 Just type: Humanize: before your prompt.
ChatGPT will rewrite it to sound more friendly, natural, and like a real person talking.
Bonus: It skips overused words like “innovative” or “game-changer.”
5. Feynman: Truly Understand Hard Stuff
Want to deeply understand a topic not just skim it?
Use the Feynman Technique, which works like this:
- Ask for a super simple explanation (ELI5:)
- Look at what you still don’t understand
- Ask for more clarity or simpler examples
- Repeat until it makes sense It helps you turn big, confusing ideas into stuff you can actually explain to others.
