Write prompts that get better answers

The clearer your request, the better the answer. A few habits make a big difference.

Be specific

Instead of 'write about dogs', try 'write a friendly 100 word intro for a dog grooming website'.

Give context

Say who it's for and what you'll use it for. 'Explain recursion to a first-year student' gets a different answer than 'explain recursion to a senior engineer'.

Say what format you want

• A short list, a table, or paragraphs.
• A length: 'in 3 sentences'.
• A tone: friendly, formal, or direct.

Iterate

You don't have to get it perfect the first time. Reply with changes: 'shorter', 'more formal', 'add an example'.

Paste the material

If you want help with text or code, paste it in rather than describing it.
