Prompt Engineering Advice

Use the C.R.E.A.T.E. Framework:

  • Character: What is the role you want the generative Ai to play (e.g. student, instructor)?  The more specific the better the results (e.g. 5th year University student majoring in political science)
  • Request: This is the task you want the generative AI to perform (e.g. create a recipe from the following ingredients)
  • Examples: List examples that may aid the generative AI (e.g. draw inspiration from Gordon Ramsey)
  • Adjustments: Look at output and tell generative AI what you don't want to see (e.g. no metric measurements)
  • Type of Output: Tell generative AI how to format the output (e.g. bulleted list, a 1000 word narrative)
  • Extras: Type these extras to see how generative AI performs
    • Ask generative AI to ask you questions before answering.
    • Tell generative AI to explain is thinking.
    • Act unlike a typical AI.
