⌨️ Prompt Dosis

Generative AI models can be used to create a wide variety of content, but the quality of the results depends on the prompt.

There are a few things to keep in mind when crafting a prompt.

1. Be as specific as possible: Tell the AI model exactly what you want it to create, and provide as much detail as possible. Begin with a clear output in mind. What do you want it to write for you? Avoid vague or general prompts that can lead to a wide range of responses.

2. Be focused: Make sure your prompt is easy to understand and doesn't leave room for confusion. It's best to use simple language and avoid using jargon or overly complicated terms.

3. Be contextualized: As much as you can, including any relevant information, words to use, or preferences such as length or tone.

4. Be patient: It may take some trial and error to find the right prompt.

With a little practice and by following these tips, you can increase your chances of getting the best results from generative AI.

Now that we’ve covered these basics, next time we’ll dive into the actual prompt formulation with examples.
