    How to Write Good AI Prompts

    Master the art of prompt engineering to get better, more useful responses from any AI chatbot.

    In this guide (5 steps):

    1. 1.Be specific
    2. 2.Give context
    3. 3.Use examples
    4. 4.Iterate and refine
    5. 5.Set constraints
    1

    Be specific

    ~15s
    Instead of "write an email," say "write a professional email declining a meeting invitation, keep it under 100 words, and suggest rescheduling."
    2

    Give context

    ~15s
    Tell the AI who you are, who the audience is, and what format you want. Context dramatically improves output quality.
    3

    Use examples

    ~15s
    Show the AI an example of what you want. "Write a product description like this one: [example]" produces much better results.
    4

    Iterate and refine

    ~15s
    Treat it as a conversation. Ask the AI to revise, shorten, change tone, or focus on specific aspects until you get what you need.
    5

    Set constraints

    ~15s
    Add boundaries like word count, format (bullet points, table, paragraph), reading level, or language to control the output.
