Transcripts

1. Intro: Oh hello. Are you here to learn the advanced GPT prompting techniques and patterns? And I'm going to take all your results to the next level. Do you know what the lift interaction pattern, the question refinement pattern, and the cognitive verifier patterns are? No, that's great, I got to show you. Come on in. Rafting effective prompts involves both the process of engineering and experimenting. In my day job, I've been testing our different apps, different approaches, different methods, and different patterns to find the ones that will guarantee the best results to speed up our daily processes. Today, I love to share with you some of my interesting takeaways. And share the most effective methods that we're a total game changer when it comes to transforming general prompt to personalized ones that meet all my needs. This course will be laser focus on these prompting patterns. These methods are extremely effective and they really deserve a separate course. Here we are today. Also, I didn't talk about those patterns in any of my other AI courses. You're the lucky one watching this one today, okay. What will you need the first thing, access to chat GPT, it can be a free version. And the second most important thing, the willingness to try something new and learn more about PT and other AI powered models. Some of the prompts will be complex and long, so we also prepare a downloadable PDF so we can copy paste the prompts and test them right away along with me. And you might want to ask, do you need to be a chip pro to benefit from using those patterns, those techniques? And the answer is absolutely no. Plus I'm sure it will help you optimize your tasks no matter what niche or what industry you are in. Sounds good. Needless to say, I'm really excited to show it all to you because there's a lot to uncover. And I think many, many people using chap, don't know these patterns, these methods. So you'll be really ahead. Let's go. 2. Our Class Project: Class project. So your only homework, I mean our class project for today, is to take a screenshot of your favorite result you got from GPT. Take a screenshot of your conversation with Cha GPT or any other IA model if you prefer the different one. And share your best result you've got from using the techniques we will be talking about today. Share your best result. Take a screenshot experiment with Chachi Pt and show us the results so we can be all proud of you. I've always posted right here in the class project section. And if you need my guidance or my feedback, let me know below your screenshot. Of course, I will gladly help you out or answer your questions, so don't hesitate to let me know. 3. Why Advanced Prompting is Worth it - Prompt Engineering Advantages: Why advanced prompting is worth it? Do you think unlocking AI's full potential is all about better algorithms? In my opinion, the true secret lies in mastering the art of questions and giving the model more advanced, better prompts. That's what we are here today. And if you want to ask what the prompt is, I don't know this term. The prompt is simply the input that we feed the AI power tool with, and it's a response based on it. So the prompt is basically what we type in into the chat bot. Those can be questions, those can be tasks. It all depends on what we need from the chat bot. And more advanced prompts don't necessarily mean longer prompts. It's just all about asking the right things. That's also what prompt engineering is all about. And today we will uncover a few really cool prompting methods. These methods are quite advanced. I will do my best to explain them simply so everyone can understand and use them right after the course. We won't use any technical jargon or any difficult stuff. I will do my best to make everything simple and logical. Yeah, take my word for it. My prompting journey and testing different approaches was, and still is, exciting, intellectually stimulating, and well, many times really frustrating experience. But actually during the few last months, my entire conception of writing a better prompt, my entire conception of prompt engineering and what is possible to achieve with the help of AI changed so much. I deeply hope I will be able to surprise you the same way I was surprised with all the techniques and all the improvements we can implement into our conversation with. Because let's be honest, most of the time, basic simple prompts will only get you very generic answers. Although the model is getting better and better, we can communicate with it as we do with humans. So we can just type in the simple sentence and it will answer, it doesn't that well. And the more advanced, the more polish the prompt is, better results we will get. That's what many people forget about. And they are complaining that the results from GPT aren't good enough or they are generic or they aren't meeting their needs. You know, they forget about polishing the prompt to get what they need because we really can get exactly what we want from GPT, just just a matter of communication. Ai isn't human and we have to communicate with it a bit differently than the way we communicate with our assistants or our friends or just people in general. So I often hear people around me on line and off line, complain all the time about GPT. The poor results in that I doesn't help and doesn't change anything for them. And I think so many of these cases and these complaints are because their problems were too basic and they just can't see what GPT and other high power tools can do and how much they can actually help them. Because look, when we talk with a friend, our art of communication is all about knowing what to say, when to say things you want to say, and how to say the tone, the timing. It all matters. Same way it applies to talking with AI, it's also a collaboration. The output depends on the input. Actually, as I've already told you, AI is even more sensitive than humans. And our word choice is more important as every word matters, every word changes the prompt and can make a difference. We can get a totally different outputs based on the way we type in the prompt. So it's really important, and it's also really important to remember that AI doesn't read our mind. Yeah, it doesn't work like that. And with friends, the situation is a bit different because some good friends can do that, at least best friends. Right. And I can. So we need to tell it in detail what we need and that's what we're going to learn today. Why improving our prompt is the key. Today I will show you that better prompts can give you more fun and interesting conversation with AI, so you can easily discover its capabilities. You can explore the full potential of GPT and see what it can unlock for you. What it can do for you, can generate unique and creative content. You will be surprised to what extent the list is actually really long. And I could talk about that for hours, believe me. But I know you're here for the practical part. And that's where we are heading to. 4. How to Transform Generic ChatGPT Outputs into Quality Content: How to transform generic GPT outputs into quality content. As you already know, GPT is one of the most stranding Ls with over 100 million active users. It can respond to every question you ask, every prompt you give it, and has so many text generation features. But if you have been using Cha GPT for a while, you already know you start noticing that the responses generated by the model have a very similar pattern. They often have this flat friendly and ultra polite tone and they just lack emotional death. Gpt will quite heavily write a page of content for your social media, for your blog, for actually any purpose you need. So prompted. However, there are some drawbacks to simply prompting to, For example, write content on topic X for my blog if your prompt is that simple, if your prompt is, for example, write a story about why journaling is beneficial for your health. The AI might create an interesting story. Something you will love, but it could go in any direction. Basically, you don't know what it will produce. So of course, there is this element of surprise, but sometimes the result. Most of the times we need results that meet our needs and are tailored to our business, to our preferences. So we can't use such generic prompts. If your prompt is, write an emotional story about stress, 27 year old woman who avoids cardiac issues. Thanks to journaling, I need to make all the skeptical people believe in the power of journaling and how it can help you relax the AI will be better guided and produce the story after. Do you see the difference? Let's compare the results we got from the first prong and the results we will get from the second prong. So we can see the difference in put in practice, we will start with the first prompt and we will see how it goes. Okay, pays the first prom. Write a story about why journaling is beneficial for your health. Let's see what GPT generates for us, Okay? The story is quite long, I think the length of it is, okay. It's basically what I was hoping for. But there are some parts of it that I don't quite like. I think I wouldn't use it for my business. For example, if I had a journaling business. If I was selling journals, I don't think some of the details of the story would be, would be okay for it. The story is okay. It actually surprises me in a positive way, but at the same time, I feel like there are so many details need to change. So let's see what GPT will give us when prompted with the second prompt. Okay, I already see that the second prompt is performing much better. That's not a surprise because actually we knew that the more detailed prompt will perform better, as you can see, because we're doing it only for a short comparison because that's not one of the techniques we will talk about. We'll talk about totally different techniques. So this is just a comparison what PD, when it's prompted with a very simple, very generic prompt. And what it does when we elaborate on our needs. So as you can see, the second story is really good and all the details that I needed are added to the story, say so the way she avoids cardiac issues, thanks to journalism. And I think it's really good. Of course, I still would need to edit it on a bench to use it. But I just wanted to show you how different the result can be when the prompt is more complex. We can also go a step further and tell Chad GPT. As a skilled storyteller, your task is to create an original and captivating story about here. Report our topic prima target audience aged he repeat the age A ears. All your story should be details immersive and filled with vivid descriptions that engage the senses or readers. The plot should focus on a meaningful life lessons with relatable characters that the reader can emphasize with and learn from The story should be a minimum of 600 words. Here we can change the length. Please ensure that the story unfolds in an exciting manner, building up the thrilling climax that captures the reader's attention. Conclude the storytelling with a satisfying ending that effectively conveys the moral lessons learned through the man's character experiences. Your story should be creative and original, providing enough detail to clarify the narrative, evoke emotions, and create a memorable experience for all the readers. When crafting the story, keep the target age group in mind and the moral lesson you wish to convey them. Feel free to incorporate elements of romance and adventure. And always consider the importance of engaging story techniques that appeal to this age group. This power prompt quite long and don't worry if you want to use. It's also included in the PDF, although it's not using the methods we'll talk about. You can download it in the resources section and let's compare how this prompt will perform compared to our previous responses. And we need to edit with the topic and our target audience details and we are pasting it instead of in the place of our topic. Okay, so K story teller task is to create alternate cap story about the stress by seven years old woman who avoids cardiac issues. Thanks to journaling for my target audience. Let's say 32, 50. Our Pm is already good. Good to go. Let's check how it will perform, okay? As you can see, the story is really much longer than, than the previous results we got. I can see that is written much better. The style is much better. It's much more pleasant to read it, it's really long. So it can be a block post, or we can actually make the entire scenario for a story, for a video. From that, the results are much better. The more detail the prompt is, the better are the results. So as you can see, the result is interesting. It's intriguing, but can't get any bet. It can. And we'll level the result up with the flipped interaction pattern. Have you heard about it? If not, don't worry. I'm here to show you and explain everything to you so it makes sense. 5. The Flipped Interaction Pattern: Listen. Typically it's you who pose questions through the model which in turn generates an output for you. We type in something into the chat box space and we get a response. A flip interaction pattern turns this dynamic on its head, and it's PT, asking questions for you to answer to get better results and understand your needs better. It may sound crazy at this point, but trust me, it's really smart. Because that way GPT knows what you need and you are met with context and with the details it needs to generate much better results. So why should we use this method? There are two main advantages. One for the large language model for our GPT or other chat box, and the other one for you. For the model, this chromatic pattern allows it to gather all the information it needs to answer your questions. I'll perform your task much better in a more precise and more tailored way tailored to your needs. Otherwise, you may think that when writing your prompt, you're arming GPT with all the required information. And the information you type in is probably enough and the model can be actually missing critical details that you miss. You simply didn't think about when typing in the prompt and it happens many times. It also happened before when I was typing in the prompt about journaling, it was very generic after all. The third prompt I typed in was more complex. It was a power prompt. We set the tone, we've told P. Use imagination to implement and include creative examples. But anyway, it was generic and I didn't include all my needs in the prompt. The other advantage of this pattern, of this flip interaction pattern, is that it makes our interaction with GPT more easy. Because if you'd like to come up with a perfect prompt, it would mean investing a lot of time thinking how to describe everything you need and crafting a long, complicated prompt with all the details you might think the AI would need. The flipped interaction pattern simplifies the process by posing a series of question that you will answer. You can answer them in bullet points on paragraph format. It's up to you and it makes the whole process easier. So yeah, you've heard it right. The chat bot takes the lead by initiating the conversation and prompting you for a response. This pattern allows the chat bot, our model, to play a more proactive role in guiding the conversation and providing much more personalized assistance. And we love it, so you already name why. It's called the flipped interaction pattern. We are simply slipping the roles. I can set the context much better, gather specific information from you, and steer you towards desired actions or decisions potentially leading to different, much better outcomes Home purged to traditional user driven models and methods. In other words, to wrap it up, you get the desired results much faster and it's really useful. Now I'm going to show you the problems you need to type in to use this method. Plus we are going to put it into practice, and I will show you practical cases when you can need it, when you can use it. 6. The Flipped Interaction Pattern In Practice: The flip interaction pattern, pull and practice. I have experimented with many different prompts with many different approaches, and I already have my top favorites that I'm going to share with you today. Our goal is to turn our chat bot into the prompt creator to create the perfect prompt. And to make it create the best results we can get from GPT or any other AM models. To show you initial pattern of this flip interaction pattern. First we'll use this prompt pattern. From now on I would like you to ask me questions to the report a specific task. When you have enough information to do the task, create out what you want. So let's I want char GPT to help me writing a block post for my personal block Sha today. And here's a little disclaimer. Of course I won't use the output without editing it. I will never, ever do that. Because I'm an advocate for using AI as our co creators and not using the output without editing it. I think when it comes to social media or block post, we need to include our personal spark and our personal charisma image. And we can just copy paste the output from chatPT. That's just a little ethical background for the task, but let's see what ChargPT will do when prompted now on, I would like you to ask me questions to write a viral block post for my lifestyle block Asha. Today, when you have enough information to write a block post, create outline in all the block post paragraphs, at least six. Okay. Are you ready? Are you ready to see how GPT will behave in such a situation? Let's go. I'm pasting the prompt. Okay. So the first question from GPT, what are some trending or interesting lifestyle topics you have in mind? Okay, That's a good question. Gpt, I will tell you, tell your lifestyle, journaling and journaling habit, okay? And as you can see, the list of questions we got from PT is quite long and it may actually scare you, but don't be worried. We don't need to answer to all of them. But if we do that, the char GPT will be able to come up with much better results. The result won't be generic, you know, it will match our expectations and the result will be much higher quality than we've used just a simple prompt, The generic prompt. So some of the questions, what inspired you to explore the connection between a healthier lifestyle and journaling in this block post GPT is basically curious what information, what context it can include in the block post introduction. Because, you know, I don't know about you, but when I read block post, I really enjoy those personal introductions that are full of storytelling. From the very start, you know that you will read a good written block post that isn't copy paste from another block or is fully generated by I. I really love the way ChagPT wants to learn our experiences, our perspective to include it in the block post because you may think a lot of work to answer those questions. Of course, it, it will take some time. It will take a couple of minutes. But at the same time the result will be so good, we won't need to edit is so much. When you use a simple prompt, you will have to add your own paragraphs to the blog post. You will have to add your storytelling, your context, your perspective. With a prompt like this, when you answer those questions, the block will already include your context and your point of view and your personal experiences. So it's going to be more personal. And then you can use it without so many edits. So in the end. And it will save you time even though the process of answering these questions can take some time. Okay, other questions are, for example, what key takeaways or final files would you like to leave your readers with? Do you have any personal success stories or anecdotes related to healthier lifestyle and journeying journey that you'd like to share with your readers. Those questions are really good. I mean they can be included in, of course, how to write a good blog post storytelling key takeaways. This all really needs a little reflection, but if we don't know answer to any of those questions, we can also ask a GPT to suggest something so we don't have to come up with every answer on our own, okay? So those questions are brilliant, and let's say our case is different because I told you, I promise you, we will discuss many different cases so you have a broader idea when to use those patterns, when they can be useful to you. So let's use a different case and we will do it with the prompt. Judge, I would like you to ask me questions to help me pinpoint issues with my cars performance. Ask me questions until you have enough information to identify the two most likely causes. Ask me one question at a time. Ask me the first question. As you can see, this prompt is quite different because we want GPT to ask us one question at a time. I think that way it can be less overwhelming because, you know, getting 12 questions at once can feel a bit overwhelming. I know it from you. And one question at a time is much better. So, you know, you can just answer right away. You can just type in 23 words answer for each question. And it doesn't take so much time. So let's see how this prompt will work. Okay. So the first question from GPT is symptom description. Can you describe the specific issues or symptoms you've been experiencing with your car's performance? This could include anything in usual, like strange noises, worrying lights on the dashboard, or changes in how the car drives. And you may laugh, but actually this question is the question that would get asked if you call the car assistants or some professional to help you in such situations. So I think GPT is really smart and that way you don't have to think about how to describe the issue, how to describe everything in one prompt. Because GPT taking the lead is asking you one question at a time. So you don't have to think about answering all the questions at once. You don't have to think about typing in such a long description of what's going on with your car. You can just type in a short answer to each question. So let's say it's producing strange noises in, it can speed up. Okay, The second choices we get from DBT is can you describe the type of noises your car is making. Id, clanking, clicking, whining, or any other specific sound. Additionally, do these noises occur all the time or only when you accelerate? As you can see the questions, the second question is also very smart. I've tested very similar prompts and sometimes GPT is asking us 12 questions, sometimes 20, sometimes less, sometimes only three or four. It all depends on the context on the situation, but it asks about all the things it might need to help you find the answer. So as you can see, GPT can also be helpful in such situations because when you talk with anybody on the phone, they would ask you probably the same question. So it's really smart. Now we will go further and I will tell you about, well, playing the personal pattern mixed with the flipped interaction pattern. 7. Role-Playing (the Persona Pattern) + The Flipped Interaction Pattern: So now let's mix a flipped interaction pattern with role playing which has its official name, the personal pattern. It may sound like another somewhat complicated pattern, but don't worry. In reality it's one of the simplest ones we have in the front engineering world. In many cases we would like chat bot output to take a certain point of view. The main intent of this pattern is to give our AI model a persona that helps it select what types of output to generate and what details it should focus on. This pattern usually begins with the prompt, act as personal X provide outputs that person X would create. Imagine you're a person X, you're going to pretend to be a person X from now on, act as a person. So as you can see, the first statement, instruct the child board to act as a specific persona and provide responses like such person would provide. So what our persona can be, This persona can be expressed in a number of ways. It could be a job job description, title, fictional character, or maybe even historical figure. Just someone I will know. Okay, so I bet you would like to ask, show me this pattern in practice. What can our prompt look like and listen. Here are the three examples of how an example prompt can look like. And as you can see, we've already mixed this personal pattern with the pattern we've learned in the previous chapters. So our flip interaction pattern. In that way, we have three very good prompts. You will get amazing results with these prompts. The first prompt is, imagine your course planner. The second prompt is step into the role of a personal coach. And the first prompt is, imagine your guardian consultants. Would you like to see how GBT deals with such prompts? Let's go. So I'm copying the first, the first prompt. These prompts are also in the PDF I've created for you. You can copy them and edit them to your knees. Let's check what results we will get from putting the first prompt into work. So GP team responses that way. Could you please share some details about your experiences in the beginning photography workshop? What specific topics or techniques did you cover and what aspects of photography are you most interested in? Good, yeah, that's a good starting point. And let's say we'll write specific topics. Preparing a good portrait, background, sand, portrait backgrounds, aspect of photography, that would be woman portraits. Okay, so the second question is, what are your primary goals and expectations when it comes to improving your skills Portrait photography, particularly in relation to creating appealing backgrounds for these portraits. Are there any particular challenges you've encountered in this area that you hope to address through the workshop? As you can see, GPT is digging deeper to come up with really good answers. And that way we can add so much context to our results, to the results we'll finally get. And that's how brilliant this method is. Now, I don't want to bore you with so many questions, but as you can easily guess, the chat about will go on and on until it gathers all the needed data, all the needed information, all the needed context. So we can expect about ten questions until it arms us with the perfect output. And let me tell you, it's war fit. Now let's put the second prompt into war. That's the prompt about the role of a personal coach. And the first question, the first question we got from GPT is, what are your fitness goals and how it does incorporating morning jocks aligned with these objectives? Are you looking to improve your overall health, build endurance, lose weight, or achieve specific fitness milestones? So my fitness goal is to lose, let's say five kilos and improve my breathing techniques during sport. Okay, so as you can see, we can really chat with char GPT because it just behaves like a really interested assistant, like a really interested coach that's asking us so many questions to dig deeper and to find out what exactly do we need. And the second question is, can you describe your current morning routine, especially in relation to your jog? What time do you typically go for jogging? And do you have any particular habits or challenges that you've noticed during these sessions? I don't know about you, but I can easily imagine a situation like this in real life. We go to fitness coach, we go to personal coach. And these questions are so natural, they're like real life examples. So we would say, I would say GPT is really good at this role playing and it will ask so many questions as it needs to get all the context to generate a very good output, a very good piece of advice for us. So that's a brilliant, you know, we wouldn't be able to produce such a good prompt from the very start. Your prompt will, would have to be very long to all the context, all the information about you. In that way, it's much more friendly. It's much easier just to answer the questions, just to answer one question at a time, okay? But let's check the third option, the third front, it's about gardening consultant, so this one is really interesting. Let's see what answer we will get. Okay, So the first question we got is, what are your main objectives when it comes to your vegetable? Oh, that's a difficult word. When it comes to your vegetable patch. Are you aiming for a sustainable source of fresh produce? A beautiful addition to your garden, or perhaps a bit of both? Are there any specific vegetables you particularly excited to grow? As you can see, the tone of GPT is really friendly. It's easy, it just sounds like an easy going, really friendly gardening consultant who, you know won't give you a random piece of advice. It gathers your answers, it gathers information on your needs. And then it will come up with the perfect, perfect piece of advice, the perfect suggestion for you, so you will be satisfied with the results. Now it's your turn. 8. The Question Refinement Pattern: The question refinement pattern. Okay, let's go further. Gpt can also help us level up and refine our questions. For example, if you ask the question, it can suggest a better formulated, clearer question for more accurate results. Let's say you aren't quite sure how to formulate your prompt, you type it in. And with this pattern, we are asking a PT to make our prompt better and level it up for us. The main goal of this pattern is to ensure our chat bot always suggests potentially better, more refined questions we could ask it instead of our original perfect prompt. So yes, I can help us find the information or context to achieve our goals in fewer interaction than if we employ the traditional trial and error pattern prompt prompting pattern. So from now on we will use this prompting pattern. From now on, when I ask a question, suggest a better version of the question to use that includes information specific to. Here we type in our use case and ask me if I would like to use your question instead. So imagine this. You're not just asking, you're collaborating with the chat bot, you're collaborating with our large language model, like two bodies storming the perfect question. You give a basic question, and then here comes the magic you ask the chat bot for a jest version one that's got all the nitty greedy specifics and guess what, chat bots got your back. It suggests a super charged question with all the relevant info you might have missed in your first question. And let's be honest, it happens quite often as we are often unaware of additional information or additional context. That might be extremely helpful for a chat box when we're creating the prompt, that's totally normal and it happens to all of us. That's why it's such a smart idea to have a chat box step in and suggests a polished question. A polished question with all the important details and the context it needs. That way, we can get much sharper questions, better prompts, and of course, much better results. When should you use this method? This method, this pattern will give the best result in situation when your initial question is quite broad and the prompt will benefit from letting the AI to look, guide you through what kind of context, what kind of information it is important to add here. Good example. Any topic when you aren't quite sure what specifics are relevant and which aren't. For example, creating copy for marketing purposes is a good candidate for using this prompting method. Let's see how it goes in practice. Okay, our prompt is this, From now on, when I ask a question, suggests a better version that incorporates information specific to writing a scenario for a top quality, high performing Instagram ad. And ask me if I would like to use your question instead. Here the question, can you write a scenario for an Instagram ad to use it to market handmade jewelry made of coffee beans? So let's paste this prone into Ch. Okay, so the PT response is certainly, I can help you create a scenario for an Instagram ad to market your handmade jewelry made of coffee beans. Here's the question. To ensure you gather specific information for the scenario. What are the unique features or aspects of your handmade coffee jewelry that you'd like to highlight in the Instagram at stereo? Would you like to use this question to provide more details for the scenario? Yes, I want to highlight the fact that the jewelry I create is zero waste and okay, of course it's made up. I don't produce any coffee beans jewelry, but that's a creative idea and we can observe the charges potential to create good results. So I think it's a good example. Yes, I want to highlight the fact that the jewelry at zero waste and it's, it's made of organic coffee beans. Okay, And here the char GPT started producing this scenario. I really like it. Okay. Can we even have transitions? Transition details and how to film the art? And it ends with this question from char GPT. Would you like any specific adjustments or additions to this scenario or shall we proceed with it as the basics for your Instagram at? Rich. In this case, I'm a little bit surprised that GPT asked us only one question, two questions, but connected to each other. But that way we got a really good output, a really good scenario. We should also be aware that in some cases, this additional context will have less importance. And there are also cases where more context won't necessarily improve the result and won't necessarily help the child but refine the answer. And then the result from using this prompting technique won't be so impressive. That's why it's really worth it to experiment. Just check it for yourself and check if adding additional context hubs in your particular case. From my perspective, from my experience, in most of the cases it really makes a difference. It's worth checking like always. Okay? But let's see different practical cases we can use using this prompt technique. Our next prompt will be this. Starting today, whenever I inquire about optimal techniques for improving painting skills, comment an upgraded version of the question that integrates insights from cognitive learning theories and check if I'm interesting and embracing the refined questions. As you can see, this example is more abstract, but it's also very detailed. So we have actually already added context and information about our needs. Let's see how GBT will handle it. Okay, So it certainly I will help you by suggesting upgrading questions. So what's your next question relating to improving your painting skills? What brushes? So, my question will be, what brushes? What painting brushes are the best choice for a beginner? Okay, well, I'm really impressed by the answer. Gpt suggested this, a question informed by a cognitive learning theorist could be, how can I select the most suitable painting brushes for a beginner considering factors like brush type size and their impact on the learning process. Would you like to use this refined question to gather more comprehensive insights on choosing painting brushes for beginner? Yes. Okay. So using this refined question will help you gather more did insights on selecting painting brushes for beginners? Please go ahead and ask this question and I will be here to provide you with a detail response. Okay, so now we're copying the refined question ChagPT produced for us. And we're watching it produce the answer like, wow, the output is really detailed. It includes many different aspects of choosing the best brush for a beginner. And we should remember that if we've used the first, the perfect prompt, the very basic one, we wouldn't get such good results. So in that case, it was very good. Okay, another practical, another practical case. Are you ready? So we will go with this prompt starting now. Whenever I bring up a topic about effective communication and leadership, provide me with a polished question that incorporates elements of emotional intelligence. And ask if I'd like to go ahead with the refined question. I'm really proud of this example and let's see what char GPT will do. So what aspects of effective communication and leadership would you like to discuss or explore to day? How can we motivate our team without stressing them out? How we can motivate our marketing team? And char GPT suggested as a better question to ask instead of the very simple question I came up with. The initial question was, my question was, how can we motivate our marketing team without stressing them out? And I know so many people would type in this type of question and get a bit generic responses. Instead, ChargPT suggests the refined version. How can we effectively motivate and support our marketing team considering their emotional well being and the avoidance of unnecessary stress. So as you can see, the difference isn't really huge. But at the same time, it gives GPT this hint, what it should focus on when producing the final response. Definitely, yes. Now we're copying the refined question and we're watching the ChargPT gives us a really good answer with many suggestions and many ideas to motivate our marketing team. And now another example. This one is really Extremely practical. And I think many of you would like this concept, this idea, how to use Chip T for our daily life. So the prompt would be this, starting today, whenever I ask you about healthy cooking recipes, offer me a more refined question that takes into account nutritional science principles. And check if I'd like to adopt the improved question. Sounds good. Okay, so let's paste this prompt into chap and let's see what it produces for us. Okay, so each ask us a question. What specific aspect of healthy cooking on nutritional science would you like to explore today? Could you give me breakfast? Oh no, no breakfast, lunch ideas if I have a magnesium deficiency. Okay. So it suggested this refined question. What are some nutrition rich launch ideas that can help address a magnesium deficiency and support overall health? Yeah, I would like to use this question and now we need to copy it, so gut can use it right away. Okay. It's getting tastier. Okay. Wow. Okay. Oh my God, I'm getting hungry like always when, when we talk about food, black bean and sweet potato tacos, this sounds so good. And what I really like about those responses, those suggestions, is that char GPT is actually describing the way those dishes, those lunch ideas can help us eat more healthily and why those lunch ideas are good for our health. For example, in my black beans and sweet potato tacos are fantastic sorts of magnesium feel. Whole grain taco shells with black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, diced tomatoes, and fresh ilium. Say no more media. Remember that we can also tell GPT to provide us more reasons why we should eat each of those dishes and it will do that. Can you give me more reasons to eat each of these dishes? Lunches? Okay, And as you can see, it instantly start to produce a much broader description of why those particular lunch ideas are good for health and how they can help us stay healthy. Okay, so you know what interests me, black beans and sweats. That's right. Black beans are not only rich in magnesium, but also provide a good source of plant based protein and fiber. Sweet potatoes are loaded via vitamins, particularly vitamin A, which supports vision and immune function. Tomatoes are rich in leko pan and antioxidant linked to various health benefits including heart health. Okay, that was interesting. And I think we have ten amazing lunch ideas that are both healthy. And I don't know because I haven't tried any of these yet. They sound really good. And we can also tell char GPT to arm us with easy recipes for both, for each of those lunch ideas. As you can see, the question refinement method we are using right now helps bridge the gap between our knowledge and the ChargPT, understanding guaranteeing us more efficient and accurate interaction and results. You've seen the examples and the refined questions, the refined question char gave us were really good and they gave us amazing results. It's also extremely useful when you are not expert in a certain domain or you are unsure of how to phrase your question. When it comes to this situation, when you aren't an expert in a particular domain, easy prompt using our question refinement pattern can look like this. Whenever I seek insights about home gardening, propose a mody held question with a focus on soil composition ans and inquire If I'd like to adopt the refined question. I'm not an expert at home gardening actually. I know almost nothing about it. But I want to grow beautiful plants inside my apartment. I want them to grow healthily. I want to give them the right kind of soil so they can grow without any disease and they can be happy with the environment I created for them. So this prompt is perfect, so I don't have to worry if I came up with the right Pm to get the information I need. Let's see it in practice, how to grow, I need to check what's the name of the plant I want to buy. Okay? So let's say I want to grow at Coconut Palm. How to grow coconut palm inside a small apartment? Okay, And GPT suggests this refined question. What are the key considerations and soil composition nuances for successfully growing a coconut palm tree inside a small apartment? Would I like to use this refined question? Yes, and now we're copying the refined question. We're pasting it and we will get the information on how to grow a healthy coconut palm inside a small apartment. As you can see, the result is really focused on very practical aspects of growing a coconut palm. We have information on soil composition, how much nutrient rich soil should we have, watering, temperature, and light. So we're actually armed with all the details, all the basic information we need to grow a healthy palm tree. So yeah, I'm really satisfied with the result and I hope these examples gave you a clear hint where this type of prompt, this prompting pattern, can be really beneficial to you. Now, it's your turn to give it a go. 9. The Cognitive Verifier Pattern: The cognitive verifier pattern. Have you ever typed in a question so colossal, so big that you feel like it's like attempting to eat a dinosaur with a single fork. Meet the cognitive verifier punt pattern. Our new extra clever approach to handling those giant questions. This technique slices your huge questions into smaller, more manageable pieces, making it much easier to digest. Why should you use this prompting pattern? Well, you already know it. Sometimes we toss out questions that are like trying to catch a cloud too big and fluffy for a straightforward answer from chip. Sometimes it's because the topics a bit a mystery for us. We are unsure how to word things in our prompt A let's be real sometimes. We're also a little bit lazy and we don't want to waste our precious time and energy to polish the prompt. Am I right? Magic with our cognitive verifier pattern happens, splitting these big questions into smaller chunks. Give the guides to serve up top responses, sparking some seriously enlightening charts, okay? Okay, so let's get practical. How exactly does the cognitive verifier pattern work? Let's break it down with an example. Imagine you pop a question to ChargPT instead of just answering straight away. Chargpt might come bag with three or four more questions. Once you've tackled those like a champ, GPT waves your answers together and presents you with a super informed response to your initial question. It's like assembling a puzzle piece by piece. The bigger picture comes into. Okay, so what's our prompt pattern? The prompt pattern looks like this. From now on when you're asked a question, remember these steps create three more questions to dig deeper. Three questions that will help you answer my questions more accurately. Then combine the answers to those extra questions and put them together to give a solid answer to the main question. This prompt can be a little bit long for you, but don't worry. You also have it in your resource PDF. In a PDF I created for you, so don't worry at all. A friendly reminder, this pattern, this method, enables our Chad Ball to produce a series of follow up questions that have the power to refine the original question. By using this pattern, AI tools like OurgPT can whip up responses that are not only super insightful but also spot on. Accurate things get more exciting and the conversation takes off to new heights. How exactly can I use this method? Let's start with editing this prompt pattern to meet our needs. So my prompt will be this. When I ask you a quick question, generate three additional questions that would help you give a more accurate answer. Assume that I know a little about the topic that we are discussing and please define any terms that are not a common general knowledge when I have answered the three questions, combined the answer to produce the final answers to my original question. So as you can see in this case we also let the charge GPT know that we aren't an expert and it will help us. And also in this case the aim is to make sure that when we get asked these questions, they're not only on the right track but also easy for you to get and understand. Even as I said before, you're not familiar with tricky or more advanced terms. In that way, the questions that came up will be simple to understand for you. And the final answer, we will work well for everyone no matter how much you know about the topic and if you're an expert in this topic or not. Okay, so let's put it into practice as always. So we will try four prompts. I created a very practical prompt for you to test out. To show you how smart this prompting pattern is, we will start with the prompt about food, because I really got into the topic and our first prom will be this. When you were asked to create a breakfast recipe, follow these rules. Generate additional questions about the ingredients I have in my house and the cooking equipment that I own. Combine the answers to those questions to help produce a breakfast recipe that I have the ingredients tool to make. What should I cook tomorrow after waking up? Here's the question. Okay, so we need to copy, we need to copy the prompts and give it a go. So the chip says, certainly I can help you create a breakfast recipe with the ingredients and equipment you have at home. To get started, could you please list the ingredients you currently have in your house that you'd like to use for breakfast? Okay, let's say tomato sauce. Eggs, gluten free bread, huh? Okay. Let's, let's make the things a little bit more complicated because the free first things are really easy to mix into one breakfast idea. Maybe pineapple or it will be too controversial for you. Okay, I want, it's too risky. Maybe strawberries and almond butter. Okay, great. You have some interesting ingredients to walk with. Now let's consider the cooking equipment you have. Do you have access to stove top, oven, toaster, microwave, or any other specific cooking appliances that we should take into account for this breakfast recipe? I have oven and toaster. Yeah, and the Chait is producing a yummy breakfast idea from the things we already have in our fridge chat, split the idea, the ingredients into two different parts. So we will do savory tomato and egg breakfast, bake and strawberry, almond butter toasts. Okay, I can say that the recipe doesn't really look like it's very complicated. Challenging to make. So I like that. That's the most important factor when it comes to preparing a breakfast. Because let's say, let's face the truth, we are all short on time. It's a good one. So that way I gave you a very practical idea to use GPT. We'll ask you questions like what things you have in your bridge, do you prefer savory or sweet breakfast? What kind of kitchen equipment do you have? And you can basically answer those questions in a few seconds and get a very good result. Let's go further with our second front. The second prompt will be about a workout routine, because we've already talked about food. Now it's time to talk about the workout. Yeah, it's not so obvious, at least not for me, But let's get things healthy. So when you're asked to create a workout routine, stick to these guidelines. And here comes the guidelines. Come up with extra questions about the exercise equipment I have available at my fitness and my fitness goals. Combine the answers to these questions to help create a workout plan that aligns with more resources and objectives. What's the ideal workout routine for me? Let's see how GPT will handle this challenge. We are pasting my already prepared prompt. What exercise equipment you have at home. I have one step. Okay. Now let's focus on your fitness goals. Are you looking to achieve specific objectives with your workout routines such as weight loss, improved cardiovascular health, muscle toning, or combination of these goals? Additionally, and that question is interesting, how many days per week do you plan to dedicate to your workouts? I want to focus on improving my cardiovascular health and toning my But muscles. I can work out three times a week. Let's go. As you can see, we got a really detailed workout plan. And what I really like about these results is that we can easily look for those particular exercise on Youtube. We can check how to perform them correctly, and we have already ready to implement into our daily life workout plan, which involves working out three times a week. It's also divided into 23 parts. Most probably it's getting more intense with time. I really love the idea and I think when it comes to fitness and food things, the charge PT is great for that. Okay, let's go further. Here's the third prompt when you're asked about the DAI project idea for me, follow the rules. These rules generate additional questions about the materials I currently possess and how the tools I have at my disposal combine the answers from the questions to assist in creating a project that matches my resources. Yeah. Let's see what the fund DA project we can work on this weekend. Could you please let me know what matters you currently have on hand for your DI project? Let's say I have gray paper and colorful ribbons and glove. Okay. Do you have access to any additional tools or supplies such as scissors or markers that you'd like to use in your project? Yes, I have scissors and two markers, the blue and black one. Okay. A PT, get creative. As you can see here, we have a full instruction how to perform our DAI, with the resources, with the materials we already have at home. We don't need to buy anything new, we can just use the resources we already have. That's really brilliant. I love the zero waste ideas when it comes to food. When it comes to describing what's already in our fridge, what products we have there, and what products we don't want to waste, which products we need to use. And I also love the idea of freeding DAI with the resources that we already own. Let's go further. The fourth prompt I prepared is about social media campaign. We need to go a little bit into marketing. The prompt will be this. When asked to craft a social media campaign, follow these rules, come up with supplementary questions about my target audience, my marketing goals, and the platforms I want to use. Combine the answers for these questions to help design a campaign that resonates with my audience and fits the platforms I use. How should I approach promoting my new handmade jewelry collection? Let's see. Okay, could you please provide me with more details about your target audience, marketing goals and the social media platforms you plan to use for this campaign? As I told you before, we can answer those questions in bullet points. So my target audience, women who love let's say old money style, that's just what came to my mind. Why winclove old money style are in their parties and want to invest in a jewelry jewel pieces that will last a light lifetime. My marketing goals create a bigger newsletter list and my social media platforms in Storm and Facebook. Okay, and as you can see, ring GPT with these three details gave it all the context that it needed so it could create a very detailed, very good idea, the full strategy, how to create a campaign for my jewelry line. So that's nice. So as you can see, answering those questions really was necessary. And there are some things we might have missed in our first prompt if we had to write it along without GP's help, without this pattern. So the verdict is this pattern helped us get much more, more personalized and optimized results. To sum it up, the motivation of this pattern is actually twofold. You may initially ask questions that are too high level to provide a concrete answer without additional follow up questions due to unfamiliarity with the domain. Let's call it an honest way laziness in our prompt. Or just being unsure about what the correct phrasing of the question of the prompt should be. That's why the cognitive verifier pattern can work wonders for us. Research has also demonstrated that AI can often perform much better when using a question that is subdivided into additional questions. And that's exactly what the cognitive verifier pattern does for us. So it's brilliant. 10. Chat GPT Will Nake the Perfect Prompt For You - the Power Prompt: Gpt will make the perfect prompt for you, the power Pmt. We can also combine different patterns and create a super superpower prompt, as you can easily guess. In this case, it will ask you questions as in the patterns before. Once it's ready, it will provide you with a prompt. This super prompt can sound like this. To give you a little spoiler, you're a prompt generational robot. You need to gather information about my goals, examples of the preferred output, and other relevant context. The prompt should include all the necessary information that was provided to you. Ask follow up questions until you're confident that you can produce the perfect prom. You will start asking questions after I say start. Let's see how it goes. We'll modify the prompt and make it even more complex if we want to be a little bit crazy and give a GPT a super, super complex prompt. This prompt can also sound like this. Please forget all prior prompts. I want you to become my personal prompt creator. Your goal is to help me build is to help me build the most detailed prompt for my current needs. This prompt will be then used by you. Please follow the process and here we have a very detailed process. As you can see, there are many parts of the process. It's really complicated and complex. And actually that's by far the most complex. That's by far the most complex prompt I've used. In many cases, it can be too much, it can be too complex. It won't be necessary to run a process like this. But in some cases, it can be the best decision you can make. You can experiment with this prompt, but as I said, there are also many cases where it wouldn't be necessary. Experimenting is also the really important part of prompt engineering. We can always rely on one prompting technique, on one prompting pattern, we need to experiment, We need to try out different patterns and just see it for yourself. Which results from which pattern are the best. Your homework is also this experiment with these super prompt with these power prompts and let me know what you've got. 11. Our 4 Prompt-Engineering Patterns in Practice: I don't know, Four extra smart prompting patterns to sum it up. The flipped interaction pattern, the questionnaire refinement pattern, and the persona pattern, and the cognitive verifier pattern. And you know how to use them and practice and when to use them. To sum all the things we've learned together today, let's try out all the prompting patterns one more time, this time with only one example. To give you one extra practical comparison of what results you can expect from each prompting pattern, let's assume I want to write an Instagram ad for my business, which sells hand knitted jackets for small ducks. Yeah, let's get creative. I had my coffee beans jewelry business, now I'm selling hand knitted jackets for small ducks. So let's start with the flipped interaction pattern. Our prompt will be this. From now on, I would like you to ask me questions. To be able to write an Instagram ad for my business. When you have enough information to write this ad copy in scenario for me, create this senio along with the exact copy and let's see what chart GPT will produce for us. Okay, so we got the answer. I will gather the necessary information for questions to help you create an effective Instagram. As for your business, good to start. Please provide me with some key details about your business and the specific product or service you want to promote in this app. I want to promote my brand new blue tiny hands needed jacket for Jack Russell Terriers. Okay, now we got more questions. As you can see, when we don't ask chart to ask us one question at the time, it will generate all the questions it needs in one prompt. Actually, it's up to you. You can choose the way you prefer the questions to be delivered to you. If you don't get overwhelmed by seven questions to answer, you can choose that way. Or if you prefer GPT to ask you one question, question by question, one question at the time you need to tell it, please ask me one question at the time and then go further. Proceed to the next question. So in our case, we got seven really good questions. Just to produce a much better at for my business. Now we need to go to the question refinement pattern. Do you remember what it was? Just a quick check. So our first prompt will be this. From now on, when I ask you a question, suggest a better version of the question to use and ask me if I would like to use your question. Instead, my question is, write me an Instagram ad for my business which sells hand at jackets for small dogs. Would you like assistance in creating an Instagram ad for your business? A promise your hand need jacket for small dogs. Focusing on a particular aspect of target audience or including any special offers features. What's interesting, GPT also wants to specify our wearing need and ask us what exactly what exactly do we want from it? So in that way, we can set the context and make the results much better. And now that's funny. Now we'll turn to the persona pattern. Do you remember what it was? So our prompt will be this. Imagine your small friendly dock. Yeah, that's surprising. I know your task is to come up with a scenario for an Instagram ad for a business that sells jackets for Small Ducks. Create an emotional scenario. Tell me what the doc in the ad should say. Complain that there are many shops with big jackets for big dogs. Both small dogs need jackets too. I really love this idea. Isn't it creative? And let's check it. Yeah. And here is our creative dog perspective scenario. Wow, shop now and keep your furry friend cozy. Oh, this emotional scena not only highlights the need for jacket for small dog, but also creates a hot warming connection between the audience and the product. It encourages viewers to take action by shopping for their small furry friends. I mean, if you're working in the marketing team, responses like that really can help you handle your daily processes and daily brainstorming better. So keep in mind, and let's go to our next prompt, the cognitive verifier pattern. And our prompt will be this. When I ask you a question, generate three additional questions that would help you give me a more accurate answer. Assume that I know about it. When I have answer to three questions, combine the answers to produce the final answers to my original question. My question is, write me an Instagram ad for Ma Business which sells hand knitted jackets or small dots. Okay, here we have three questions from GPT so it can create better result. The first question is, who is your primary audience? Are you targeting specific dog breeds, age groups, or any particular demographics? Then it asks us about our unique selling proposition. What makes your hand knitted dog jacket stand out? Is it the design material worm of any special features? And it also asks us about our ad objective. What's the main goal of this Instagram at, is it to drive sales, increase brain awareness or something else? And by providing answers to these questions, GPT will have the context and the information it needs to produce. A very good at scenario for us because it knows better. What exactly do we need? So I love it. As you can see, those four patterns are different from each other and you can expect different results. And as I've already told you before, experiment with them and you will be really surprised with the results. 12. Final Word!: That's it. I hope you got as excited as me.
