Get Better Answers with Smarter Prompts
If you’ve ever been disappointed by a ChatGPT (GPT-4) response, the issue might not be the AI—it could be your prompts.
The truth is simple: the quality of answers reflects the quality of the questions.
Our brains are surprisingly similar to GPT—they’re “pretrained” to respond to examples and situations. Just like GPT can’t solve a complex problem in one go, we also achieve better results when we break things down. By narrowing the focus, we can tackle challenges step by step and come up with more effective solutions.
How to Upgrade Your Prompts
🛠️ RTF (Role, Task, Format)
- Role: Define who ChatGPT is in the conversation.
Example: “You are a SaaS senior developer.” - Task: Clearly state what you need.
Example: “Create a form component with complex logic.” - Format: Specify how you want the response.
Example: “Provide a step-by-step breakdown.”
✍️ RISEN (Role, Instructions, Steps, End Goal, Narrowing)
- Role: Assign ChatGPT a role.
- Instructions: Provide clear, concise directions.
- Steps: Break down the process you need help with.
- End Goal: Clarify the desired outcome.
- Narrowing: Focus the scope for more precise answers.
🔑 Takeaway
Treat AI as a partner in solving complex challenges. When you ask nuanced, structured questions, you’ll unlock responses that deliver real value.
