After extensive testing with AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, I found that effective prompting significantly enhances productivity. This method, known as “prompt dusting,” involves using the same prompt across various platforms to refine responses. During a live OpenAI briefing, I learned that re-running prompts can yield better answers. Here are seven vital prompts:
- Forget Everything: Clears assumptions to reset the conversation.
- Explain Like You’re Me: Adapts responses to match your writing style.
- Argue With Me: Challenges your views, improving your reasoning.
- Detect My Bias: Identifies hidden biases in your writing.
- Describe the Picture You Can’t See: Generates vivid imagery for brainstorming.
- Three Versions: Offers diverse perspectives on an idea.
- Show Your Work: Breaks down reasoning for better understanding.
These strategies optimize interaction with any chatbot, making them more aligned with your needs.
