A Guide on How to Use ChatGPT

Have you come across ChatGPT use cases shared online but found the prompts to be unhelpful? If so, the root cause is imprecise and poor-quality prompts. To optimize your ChatGPT experience, clear, concise, and effective prompts are necessary. But, if you are unsure how to write good prompts, worry not - this guide is here to help 😀

How to write a perfect ChatGPT prompt?

As you embark on your ChatGPT journey, remember that the more precise the prompts you write, the more helpful its responses will be. For instance, if you request assistance with copywriting, failing to specify the target audience or context may result in ChatGPT's inability to provide an effective response.

After all, when writing a advertising copy for a shampoo, you should write it differently for young women and for those who are experiencing hair loss. Therefore, it's crucial to let ChatGPT know the target audience and purpose of the copywriting to ensure that it can provide the most relevant response.

It's the same for programming. If you want ChatGPT to write a program for you, you will need to specify the programming language (e.g. C++ or Python) and the programming paradigm (e.g. Functional Programming or OOP) to be used.

How to use the Useful ChatGPT Prompts?

In the Useful ChatGPT Prompts, we have categorized the prompts into different categories. You can click on the category to filter the prompts. If you find a prompt that you can use, click on the Copy button to copy the prompt.

Once you have copied the prompt, you can paste it into ChatGPT. However, you will need to further replace the words in the template with your actual content. The following three examples are for your reference.

To prepare a presentation

presentation, which should be simple enough for children to understand, but at the
