i wrote 10.000 prompts, here my key takeaways
1/ be explicit: if you want smth to happen, tell your ai directly
2/ use markdown formatting:
# title
## subtitle
- lists
- ..
**emphasis**
[links](www.site.som)
language models love it
because markdown is their mother tongue,
coming from wikipedia, reddit, and github
3/ set the role, the task, and the process
# role
you are the world's best expert on customer research
# task
research the following:
1. name and legal form of the company
2. industry and main business areas
3. year of foundation and history
4. ...
# process
- collect the information on the points above
- write a short summary on each
- create a tl;dr
4/ write, run, evaluate
don't expect it to work on the first run
try it, see what didn't work, abstract away the problems, and run again
in the next posts
i will give you some tools to simplify the whole thing
--> use the suggestions above in your prompts
--> tell me how it went!
