Initiating a
Conversation
What is a prompt?
A prompt is a phrase or set of keywords used as input for an AI tool like ChatGPT.
This is a question or a few words you use to tell ChatGPT what you want to know
or talk about. The tool then attempts to analyze and understand the input and
automatically generates a response.
Type your question or statement in the provided text box and hit “Send” (the gray arrow).
It’s crucial to understand that ChatGPT’s responses’ effectiveness hinges on the prompts’
clarity and specificity. Vague or overly general prompts may lead to less precise outputs.
For optimal results, it’s advisable to pose specific queries or tasks and be concise in
your wording. ChatGPT generates a response drawing from its extensive training when
you input a prompt or question. You can then fine-tune this generated text to suit your
specific requirements better.

Effective
Prompts
But the way you write a prompt matters a lot. If it’s unclear
or too general, you might not get the answer you want. On
the other hand, a clear and specific prompt usually gets you
a better, more helpful response. So, knowing how to write
a good prompt is crucial in getting the most out of AI tools
like ChatGPT.
Writing Effective Prompts
Useful Tips
Here’s how to make your prompts work well and get the best answers:
Provide Context
Give details so ChatGPT understands your question better. Like, “I’m new to Python. Can
you explain loops in Python?”
Keep It Focused
The Single Topic Rule: Stick to one topic or question at a time. Asking too much at once
can affect the answer negatively.

ChatGPT | The Ultimate Step-by-Step Beginner’s User Guide

Avoid Ambiguity
Direct Questions: If you need specific information, phrase your prompt as a direct
question. For example, “What are the steps to file a tax return online in the United
States?”
Incorporate Keywords
Relevant Terms: Include relevant keywords or terms in your prompt if you seek
information on a specialized topic.
Ethical Considerations
Responsible Use: Ensure that your prompts adhere to ethical guidelines and do not
seek to elicit harmful, biased, or inappropriate content.
These tips will clarify your prompts, and ChatGPT can give better, more useful
answers. The more precise your prompt, the better ChatGPT can help.
