Wsodownloads - In: Megaprompts: The Foundation of Prompting

Megaprompts provide more detailed instructions than basic questions by including specific information across several elements: [1] an action for the AI to perform, [2] steps to complete the action, [3] a persona to emulate, [4] examples of desired inputs/outputs, [5] relevant context, and [6] a template for the output. The goal is to enhance the quality, specificity and relevance of the AI's responses. Structuring the prompt guides the AI to the intended outcome in a systematic manner and gives its responses meaning and perspective.

Megaprompts go beyond simply asking basic questions; instead, they provide


the AI with a set of specific information designed to yield superior results.
W

The concept of megaprompts is likened to writing a mini-program using


natural language, but with the added benefit of being easier to compose and
execute. The goal of using megaprompts is to enhance the quality, specificity,
and relevance of the AI's output by giving it more detailed and structured
instructions.
Megaprompts may contain an aspect of some or all of the following elements:

● An Action to take
● Steps to perform the action
● A Persona to emulate
● Examples of inputs and/or outputs
● Context about the action and situation
● Constraints and what not to do
● A Template or desired format for the output

ASPECCT Summary
Action (A)

The action defines the mission by specifying an explicit task for your AI to
perform. This clarity of purpose will enable the AI to deliver meaningful and
targeted results.
Examples of actions:

● Generate a market analysis report


● Write an engaging product description
● Develop a social media content plan
● Create a list of blog post ideas for a tech website
● Draft a sales pitch for a new software solution

IN
S - Steps (S)

S.
Steps provide a sequence of steps for the AI to follow. Structuring the process
AD
will guide the AI toward the desired outcome in a systematic manner.

Example of steps:
LO

1. Identify the target audience for the marketing campaign


N

2. Research competitors and analyze their strengths and weaknesses


W

3. Select the best marketing channels to use


O

4. Craft compelling messages


D
SO

5. Brainstorm visuals to accompany each message using language and


ASCII art
W

P - Persona

Use a persona to assign your AI something to act as. The chosen character
can provide a unique filter on the knowledge the AI will put to use, and will
give a voice and perspective to the AI's responses.
Examples of persona:

● Act as an experienced business consultant offering strategic advice


● Imagine you're a creative director brainstorming advertising concepts
● Emulate a financial analyst providing insights on investment
opportunities
● ASSISTANT = Tech-savvy entrepreneur sharing startup tips
● Provide advice as if you were a motivational speaker delivering an
inspiring keynote speech

IN
E - Examples

S.
Demonstrate what you're looking for with specific samples of desired inputs or
AD
outputs. Examples provide a reference point for the AI to emulate.
LO

Note that including specific examples may too heavily bias the language
model in a specific direction and vague examples or a large amount of
N

examples may work better.


W
O

Examples of examples:
D

● Provide an example of an executive summary from a previous doc to


SO

base a new one on


W

● Paste in sample social media posts so the AI can match the voice and
tone
● Share an example of a successful cold email to potential clients and
generate more
● List out something in parentheses (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, laptops)
● Give your half-baked ideas: "I want a headline that references an animal
that is known to be brave"
C - Context

Provide the surroundings, circumstances, and details relevant to the task.


Providing context helps the AI craft responses that align with the broader
situation.

● Context of a new product launch in a highly competitive market


● Context of a rebranding effort after a company merger
● Context of addressing customer complaints on social media
● Context of seeking funding from venture capitalists for a startup
● Context of adapting business operations to a post-pandemic world

IN
S.
T - Template
AD
LO

Define the format you want the output to take. Establishing a template guides
the structure and presentation of the AI-generated content.
N
W

Examples of templates:
O

● Return your results in markdown formatting


D

● Format your results in a plain text code block


SO

● Use this formula for your titles: How to get {YAY!} without {BOO!}
W

● Label each result and then give bullet points on why you chose it
● Organize all of the above in markdown formatting with headers, bullet
points, and bold words

With ASPECCT in your toolkit, you're equipped to harness the full potential of
your AI co-writer. Use this framework to craft prompts that yield creative and
impactful content for your business and creative endeavors.
