If you use ChatGPT to simplify your work or fully integrate AI into your business, it is important to learn how to write prompts correctly.
In this article, we will show you how to create effective prompts for ChatGPT in Ukrainian to maximize the potential of this tool.
A ChatGPT promo is one or more sentences that give clear instructions to the AI about what you want to receive in return.
A properly formulated text query will allow ChatGPT to perform the following tasks:
But there’s one thing: what seems clear to you may not be clear to ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is powered by a large language model (LLM) that uses natural language processing (NLP). It is a computer program that understands and reproduces text, as it is trained on a huge amount of data from the Internet written by people. Communicating with it is similar to talking to a smart chatbot.
However, even if LLM responds almost like a human, you cannot give it instructions the way you would with a colleague. Instead, you need to use precise words and phrases that give ChatGPT the right context to get the desired result.
To get something really cool from ChatGPT, you should add as many details and context to your promo as possible. Here’s what you can include:
These little things make your promo more accurate and increase the chances of a great result.
When you ask ChatGPT to create a text, it’s helpful to specify who exactly it’s intended for.
For example, if you run a meal kit business and are planning an email campaign for busy parents, don’t just ask to write an email for “busy parents”. It is better to specify the audience.
You can ask for something like this:
“Write a short (150 words) and friendly letter to parents aged 25-45 who have school-age children. Tell them how our product kits will help them save time on weekdays when they are trying to manage work, school, and extracurricular activities for their children.
Even simple examples can go a long way if you want ChatGPT to understand your preferences. This is an approach called “learning by doing”, and it really works when you need to guide the model to the desired result.
For example, you can say:
“Here are the things I like and dislike. I’m not a fan of capital letters and emojis. But I do like short sentences and imaginative descriptions.
Then ask me: “Describe Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, in one paragraph in a style similar to mine.”
Here’s a simple template to get you started:
“Here are some examples of what to do and what I don’t like. I don’t like: [EXAMPLE A] or [EXAMPLE B]. I like: [EXAMPLE C] or [EXAMPLE D]. Now create a [WANTED RESULT] about [TOPIC] in a style similar to [EXAMPLES C and D].
If something goes wrong, try adding more details about why you like or dislike something. Also, consider who the text is for, or combine this approach with other methods.
Try to complicate your queries and conclusions by using the chain technique. That is, each answer from ChatGPT can be used as a basis for the next request.
For example, a marketer could ask ChatGPT to do the following:
Summarize this blog post in two paragraphs: [ADD TEXT]. When ChatGPT provides a summary, you can copy it and add it to a new request:
To summarize the post
Turn this summary into a Twitter thread of 6-9 tweets: [ADD CHATGPT RESPONSE #1]. After that, you can take the thread and make a new request:
And
Write a script for a 60-second TikTok video based on these tweets: [ADD CHATGPT ANSWER #2].
By combining prompts in this way, you’ll get a more accurate result than if you asked ChatGPT to do everything at once. This allows you to better customize the answers to your needs.
Try role-playing with ChatGPT! It’s a great thing to do when brainstorming or preparing for an event. For example, you can ask ChatGPT to play the role of an interviewer to help you prepare for a job interview.
ChatGPT will ask you questions that you can answer, and even suggest how to formulate the best answers in the interview.
It happens that ChatGPT answers too quickly. This is usually because it thinks you’ve finished typing, but you haven’t.
If it’s hard to write everything at once, but you don’t want to create a chain of prompts, ask ChatGPT to wait until you’re done.
To do this, enter the following prompt:
I will send the information in parts. After each part, say: “Got it!”. When I write “Go!”, you can answer.
ChatGPT will say: “Got it!”. After that, enter any information or prompts you want to give. When you say “Go!”, ChatGPT will generate the answer.
If you are comfortable working with code, try creating a structured version for ChatGPT, where each part of the prompt has its own role. To do this, you can use the special Chat formatting from OpenAI. In this case, the system’s role is the instructions for ChatGPT to do what it should do. The user takes on the role of the one who asks the question, and the assistant role is what ChatGPT answers. Here’s an example from the official OpenAI documentation on GitHub that explains how to organize prompts to ask ChatGPT a question in a more complex way.
If you want to achieve the desired result faster, use AI prompt generators and libraries to better understand what queries others are using and maximize your ChatGPT experience.
Hall Analysis is a simple and convenient prompt generator where you just fill in the fields and get ready-made text for ChatGPT. Aspose is a free library that allows you to find prompts by category and use case. Although it’s not a fully customizable tool, it’s a great place to start and gives you good ideas.
Prompt Hero is another library that has a variety of ChatGPT prompts and AI generators like Midjourney for image creation. You can also use AI to create new queries. For example, you can ask ChatGPT to create a prompt to perform a certain action, for example
“Make a prompt to have the AI generator perform [ACTION] for [USE CASE]”.
If, for example, you want the AI to write posts for social media, it might look like this:
From there, just use the resulting prompt as a template for future requests.
And don’t forget that you can always improve the result. If ChatGPT’s response doesn’t quite meet your requirements, explain why and specify what needs to be changed. Also, try restarting a new chat to start from scratch.
ChatGPT uses information from previous dialogs to improve its responses even as you make new requests. This means that if you continue to enter queries in the same chat, previous prompts and responses can influence how the next answer is generated.
To avoid this and make working with ChatGPT more convenient, you should save and organize dialogs by different topics. This will help you not to get confused and easily find the information you need. Just name each chat according to its topic.
When you want to start a new project or request, it’s best to create a separate chat. Then, a new entry will appear in the list of chats on the left, where you can click on the pencil to change the chat name.
For example, developers can have separate chats: one for fixing bugs on a website, one for optimizing program code, and one for learning a new programming language.
The same goes for a small business owner: they can have one chat to discuss their business and get ideas for marketing texts, and another to create product descriptions.
If you want to play with the prompts and see how different OpenAI language models work, you can use Playground. This is a kind of experimentation platform where you can test different models, including ChatGPT, and customize them to suit your needs. To access Playground, you need to have access to the OpenAI API.
This platform is primarily aimed at developers and researchers, but ordinary users can also test their ideas and see how AI responds to different requests. Here, you can enter text samples, customize parameters, and see how the system responds to them, which makes this a great tool for better understanding how artificial intelligence works.
In Playground you can:
You can also use the ChatGPT API and customize it to your needs, but you need to have basic knowledge of Python. If you are not a programmer, it is better to start with Playground.
Be patient when working with ChatGPT. You may need to change your queries several times and adjust the results until you find the best combination of words and details that will ensure the best performance of the AI.
The good news is that since ChatGPT responds almost instantly, you can make changes very quickly. If you use these responses to customize processes, it will also help speed up all stages of work.
