The Art of Crafting Effective ChatGPT Prompts

In my journey into the depths of artificial intelligence, ChatGPT has proven to be an invaluable companion. Especially when the rain in Portland, Oregon, decides to grace us with its presence, ChatGPT provides a perfect excuse for indoor exploration, particularly into the realms of creativity and productivity that AI can offer.

Best ChatGPT Prompts for Diverse Needs

There are several prompts that I have found to be incredibly useful across various spectrums. Whether you are a writer, coder, entrepreneur, or just someone looking for entertainment, these prompts can unlock the vast potential of ChatGPT. Here are some examples and their benefits:

Scenario 1: For Writers and Creatives

tI would like to learn about [topic/subject]. Please provide me with a brief summary of [topic/subject] that could be understood by a 10-year-old. t

Why this works: It challenges the AI to merge futuristic concepts with the timeless value of books. It’s fascinating to see how it balances these themes and can serve as a great spark for your own stories.

Scenario 2: For Coders and Developers

tBelow you will find meeting notes from the [your meeting] that took place on [date] and concerned [purpose of meeting]. I would like you to summarize these notes identify the key concepts and action points that were discussed and then create an email setting them out in an easy-to-read way. The email should contain no more than 225 words and be addressed to [your/department/meeting participants/relevant parties]. [Your meeting notes]. t

Why this works: It not only tests the AI's ability to simplify complex concepts but also ensures you understand it fundamentally. Plus, it’s a bit amusing to see how child-friendly an algorithm can become.

Scenario 3: For Entrepreneurs and Business Minds

tI want an article on my website to rank in the featured snippet box for the keyword [your keyword]. Currently Google shows this paragraph: [the current featured snippet]. This is the section of my article that I would like to rank in the featured snippet box [your prospective snippet]. Please optimize my copy so it ranks in the featured snippet box. t

Why this works: The AI’s vast database allows it to synthesize trends and data, providing a unique perspective on the future. It’s like brainstorming with a team that has read everything on the internet.

Scenario 4: For Students and Lifelong Learners

tI would like you to create an agenda for my meeting about [meeting subject]. In the meeting I would like to discuss [list of things that need to be discussed]. I’d like it to be set out so the meeting runs smoothly. The scheduled meeting duration is [specified time]. t

Why this works: It provides a quick refresher on classic texts and helps in drawing connections to contemporary issues, making it great for essays or deep discussions.

Scenario 5: For Fun and Curiosity

tI’d like you to write an email to my manager explaining why I missed a deadline on a report that was due on July 25th. Please explain that my bathroom flooded and this meant I couldn’t finish by the pre-agreed date. Please explain the report will be handed in on the 27th instead. I’d like the tone of the email to be polite, professional, and apologetic. I don’t want it to sound like I’m groveling. I’d like the email to be no longer than 150 words. t

Why this works: It’s outright fun and showcases the AI's capabilities in understanding characters from different universes and meshing their worlds together.
