Examples

Example 1: Planning a Family Event (Common User)

Bad Example: “What activities are good for a family event?”

Improved Example: “Can you suggest some engaging and family-friendly activities for a weekend family reunion, suitable for all ages, using an upbeat and inclusive tone?”

Explanation: The original prompt lacks details on the type of event and desired tone. The improved example specifies the event (family reunion), the target group (all ages), and the desired tone (upbeat and inclusive). This allows ChatGPT to tailor its response more effectively to the user’s specific requirements, ensuring the suggestions are appropriate and engaging for a family event.

Example 2: Corporate Communication (Company Employee)

Bad Example: “How should I update our team on project progress?”

Improved Example: “Could you draft a concise and formal update on our project’s progress, suitable for a corporate team meeting, focusing on key milestones and upcoming deadlines?”

Explanation: The initial prompt does not specify the context or required tone. The refined version clarifies that the update is for a corporate setting, requires a formal tone, and should focus on specific project aspects (milestones and deadlines). This guidance ensures that ChatGPT’s response is appropriately structured and formal for a professional team meeting.

Example 3: Marketing Strategy Proposal (Executive/Entrepreneur)

Bad Example: “Can you give me ideas for marketing strategies?”

Improved Example: “Provide a detailed and innovative marketing strategy proposal for our startup in the renewable energy sector, emphasizing digital marketing tactics, to present at the next executive meeting.”

Explanation: The first prompt is too general and lacks direction. The improved prompt, however, specifies the business sector (renewable energy), the focus on digital marketing tactics, and the context (executive meeting), guiding ChatGPT to produce a detailed, innovative, and contextually appropriate marketing strategy that aligns with the executive’s needs.
