Prompts

Every week, I’ll give you a couple of prompts that you can cut and paste that will help you get the most out of ChatGPT or any chatbot of your choice. First off, I’m going to give you a road map of how to craft the perfect prompt.

Here’s an example of a general prompt for you to fill in the blanks:

I am interested in understanding [Subject Area] in the context of [Specific Context]. Could you please [Define Objective, e.g., 'explain', 'compare', 'evaluate'] the impact of [Task or Topic] on [Additional Factor, if needed]?

I would prefer a [Desired Length, e.g., 'short', 'medium', 'long' or 'word count'] answer and would like you to include your reasoning process. Please also provide pros and cons where applicable.

An example would be as follows:

“I am interested in understanding the impact of artificial intelligence in the context of property development. Could you please explain the advantages and disadvantages of implementing AI driven solutions for real estate investment and management? Please restrict your answer to 500 words and include your reasoning process. Please also provide pros and cons in table format at the end of your response.”

That’s a wrap! See you on Saturday for the first of our deep dives into use AI to get things done. It’ll be all practical actionable information. Don’t miss out!
