By understanding and applying these components, viewers can improve their interactions with AI, making them more productive and creative in their daily tasks.
Bear’s take
I quite like Jeff’s video style—short, full of useful tips, and fun to watch. The prompt format he introduced in this video is so easy to copy. Just use it when you work on some project, and iterate your own version. This approach makes AI accessible and practical for everyone. 🐻👍
What you’ll learn
In this video, you'll learn a practical six-component formula for creating effective AI prompts. Jeff explains that a good prompt includes a clear task, relevant context, examples (exemplars), a defined persona for the AI, a specific format for the output, and an appropriate tone. He emphasizes the importance of starting with an action verb in the task, providing just enough context, and using examples to guide the AI. Jeff also highlights how defining a persona can make the AI's responses more tailored and relevant, and how visualizing the desired format can improve the output's usability. Finally, he discusses the importance of tone and how to ensure it matches your needs.
Key steps
Task: Start with an action verb and clearly state your end goal.
Context: Provide relevant background information by considering the user's background, the definition of success, and the environment.
Exemplars: Include examples or frameworks to guide the AI's output.
Persona: Define who you want the AI to be (e.g., a physical therapist, recruiter, or product manager).
Format: Visualize and specify the desired format for the output (e.g., table, bullet points, paragraphs).
Tone: Indicate the desired tone (e.g., formal, casual, enthusiastic).
Next step
Practice Creating Prompts: Apply the six-component formula to various tasks and refine your skills through experimentation.
Explore Different AI Tools: Try using ChatGPT and Google Bard for different applications and compare their outputs.
