Build Expert AI Prompts
in 30 Seconds

Start with "Act as a [specific expert]." A prompt that starts with "Act as a senior copywriter at Ogilvy" gets dramatically better results than one that doesn't. The role sets the AI's entire mindset.

Tell the AI exactly what you want: "Give me a bulleted list," "Write this as a table," "Format this as 3 separate options." Without format instructions, you get unpredictable structure every time.

Constraints make outputs sharper: "Under 80 words," "No bullet points," "Avoid the word 'leverage,'" "Write for a 10th grade reading level." Constraints eliminate the AI's worst habits.

Add "Think step by step" or "Show your reasoning before giving the final answer" for complex tasks. This single phrase improves accuracy on analytical tasks by up to 40% according to research.

Include 1-3 examples of what you want: "Here's an example of the style I'm looking for: [example]." Few-shot prompting is the most reliable way to get consistent tone and format.

Don't start a new prompt when you don't like an output. Instead: "The tone was too formal — rewrite this more conversationally." Build on what you have rather than starting over every time.
