AI Insider Tips

🎯

Start with the End in Mind

Always define your desired outcome before crafting your prompt. This helps you structure your request more effectively.

"I need a 500-word blog post about productivity tips for remote workers, written in a conversational tone for business professionals."

🔄

Use Iterative Refinement

Don't expect perfection on the first try. Build on AI responses with follow-up questions and refinements.

First: "Write a marketing email" → Then: "Make it more persuasive" → Finally: "Add a stronger call-to-action"

📝

Create Prompt Templates

Develop reusable prompt templates for common tasks to maintain consistency and save time.

Template: "Act as a [ROLE]. Create a [OUTPUT TYPE] about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE] in [TONE]. Include [SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS]."

🎭

Leverage Persona Prompting

Assign specific roles or personas to get more targeted and expert-level responses.

"Act as a senior marketing director with 15 years of experience in B2B SaaS companies..."

📊

Request Structured Outputs

Ask for information in specific formats like tables, bullet points, or numbered lists for better usability.

"Present this information as a comparison table with columns for features, benefits, and pricing."

🔍

Use Constraint-Based Prompting

Set clear boundaries and constraints to get more focused and relevant responses.

"Explain quantum computing in exactly 3 paragraphs, using no technical jargon, for a high school audience."

💡

Ask for Multiple Perspectives

Request different viewpoints or approaches to get more comprehensive insights.

"Analyze this business decision from the perspectives of customers, employees, and shareholders."

🎨

Combine Creativity with Logic

Balance creative requests with logical constraints for practical yet innovative solutions.

"Generate 5 creative marketing campaign ideas that can be executed with a budget under $10,000."

📚

Provide Context and Background

Give the AI relevant context about your situation, industry, or specific requirements.

"I'm a startup founder in the fintech space, targeting millennials. My company has 5 employees and we're pre-revenue..."

⚡

Use Power Words and Modifiers

Include specific adjectives and modifiers to guide the tone and style of responses.

"Write a compelling, urgent, and action-oriented email that creates FOMO without being pushy."

🔗

Chain Complex Tasks

Break complex projects into smaller, connected prompts that build on each other.

Step 1: "Outline a content strategy" → Step 2: "Create detailed topics" → Step 3: "Write the first article"

✅

Include Quality Checkpoints

Ask the AI to self-evaluate or check its work against specific criteria.

"After writing the proposal, review it for clarity, persuasiveness, and completeness. Suggest improvements."

Advanced Insider Techniques

Temperature Control

For creative tasks, use higher creativity settings. For factual or analytical work, use lower settings for more consistent results.

Negative Prompting

Tell the AI what NOT to include to avoid unwanted elements in the response. "Don't use technical jargon or mention competitors."

Meta-Prompting

Ask the AI to help you create better prompts. "What additional information would help you give me a better response to this request?"

Context Stacking

Build context across multiple interactions by referencing previous conversations and building on established knowledge.
