Figuring out the amount of context to give ChatGPT has been my BIGGEST frustration; appreciate how you broke this down

Wasted hours on prompt engineering courses on youtube and did not get anything i didn't know but your 8 minute video teach way more than any other video on RU-vid. Keep up the good work. 👍

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🚀 *The key formula for ChatGPT prompts involves six components: task, context, exemplars, persona, format, and tone.* 00:59 🧩 *The order of importance for the six components: task sets the goal, context adds relevant info, exemplars improve quality, persona shapes the responder, format structures output, and tone defines the writing style.* 01:57 📝 *Task component: Start with an action verb, clearly state the goal, whether simple or complex, to direct the output effectively.* 02:27 🌍 *Context component: Provide enough background info for ChatGPT, answering who, what success looks like, and the user's environment to narrow down possibilities.* 03:25 📚 *Exemplars component: Utilizing examples or frameworks significantly improves output quality across various tasks like resumes, interview questions, or job descriptions.* 04:51 👤 *Persona component: Define who ChatGPT should emulate, like a therapist for workout advice, a recruiter for job-seeking prompts, or even fictional characters for creative fun.* 05:48 📊 *Format component: Visualize the desired output format, be it tables, emails, bullet points, code blocks, or paragraphs to suit the task efficiently.* 06:46 🗣️ *Tone component: Specify the desired tone, whether casual, formal, enthusiastic, or specific feelings, guiding ChatGPT to match the writing style.* Made with HARPA AI

I love that you talk fast & get to the point quickly. Your use of humor & speed kept my attention and I appreciate this information! Thank you!

I wanted to learn prompt engineering so I checked lots of resources on the net, but none of them were as useful and helpful as this video. Thank you so much for creating it.

Really great value in such a short video, Jeff! Context has always been the trickiest part for me but I've found that sometimes less can be more in the initial prompt. Additional context can always be fed in later on using the conversational interface :3 Also, congrats on 500k! I'm so happy to see how far your channel has come along 😄 I'm gonna make a prediction and say you'll reach 1mil by the end of the year!

Love this format! Thanks for the work to put this together, Jeff. This is the kind of ChatGPT help I’ve been looking for ❤

I seriously love this, especially the "tell it the feeling you want so that it gives you 5 tone keywords you can include in a prompt for ChatGPT". I saw one somewhere where you can ask it to play devil's advocate so you can see debatable opinions/outputs for either decision making or stuff like that. The options are endless, which I absolutely love. Thank you! Also, I noticed that the examples (black screen with moving white dots and then the copy over it) are on the screen longer. Thank you!! Not sure why but it helps me take in and absorb the info easier. Love it!!

The best video I ever watched on Prompt Engineering, Fed up with so many videos watching hours of content to find nothing at the end. Just in less than 10 minutes, You conveyed everything. I'm sold at 3rd minute itself. Best example of technical content. Sub'd now

OUCH! My brain does not work at your speech output speed, I had to slow you down to 75% so I could keep up! Great ideas and pro tips! I am aiming to use AI to create language code for a trading bot based upon my specific trading technique that works incredibly well manually! The "Task" is to automate what I do in the trading world so I don't spend all my time trading! My concepts are all Smart Money focused! I am sure what I have learned from you will help me, since prompts are key! Thank You!

With your concise and fast way of teaching I almost felt like I was sitting in front of you with my notepad. Loved and Subscribed!

Jeff, really love your videos! They're always filled with good and actionable info, and most importantly no bs. 😉

Jeff is a super instructor. He presents detailed content in an easy to understand way, and makes it fun and approachable!

Almost 3 minutes in and there's so much value already! More power to you, Jeff! Thank you!

Your formula simplifies a complex process. Also, kudos on the clarity and energy in your videos - it really helps.

This is awesome Jeff. I’m glad I came across your video on ChatGPT prompts. It can be discouraging spending time to write the perfect prompt. Thank you!

I really like your tip on tone and also that was a great tip to make changes listed in bold.

Best and most succinct prompt engineering guide on the Internet, thanks a ton @JeffSu !

Usually dont comment and thought this would be clickbait but you definitively came through. Thank you for putting the time in to make actual valuable content, this is golden, im absolutely subing, liking, sharing etc. Cheers from Mexico City, again thank you.

I've definitely come back to reference this video several times. It has a great breakdown and provides examples - which is my learning style. Thank you for sharing this information.

Hey Heff Su. Really appreciate you being so professional and delivering top-notch work. Keep rocking it!

Thank you sir😊 It's my first time using Chatgpt and this video explains in a precise and concise way how it functions. Cheers from Cameroon 🇨🇲

Thank you for breaking this down - very informative and helpful!

Thanks, Jeff for this amazing and easy to follow video on ChatGPT. Congratulations on hitting 500k!

the most often component I use is hands-down TONE = friendly business tone! 😄😄

Lots of gold in this video and very well presented. Thanks man.

This video is so easy to understand and actually use as a guide when utilizing the Gen AI tools. Thank you so much💪

Got new job that needs me to utilized ChatGPT. Stumble upon this video for self-learning and this is so helpful! Thank you!

For me, the most useful video I have come across after a while: detailed, easy to understand and compact. Thanks, Jeff!!!!

What a great video. I’m a newbie to ChatGPT. This was simple and almost immediately useable.

Another good prompt format that I use is to divide the prompt into labelled sections. Eg: 1. What is the capital of Brazil? 2. How far is the answer from 1. (or you can just say "it") from the Amazon River? 3a. Whats 300 × 11? 3b. Minus 150 from the answer This way for output (I hate using that word with ai) you would get one long answer to every question that you might be wondering filling in all blanks. Pro tip: as you read the 'output' set the coursor in the input field as if youre about to type something so that the keyboard appears. Then as you read using the remaining vertical space, write down every question that arises in this format. Perfect for research.

Thanks for the video, Jeff. Concise and useful tips as always. It looks like ChatGPT can use strikethrough text. So when using it for correcting texts (6:15), you can ask it to strikethrough the corrected words instead of deleting them, so that you don't have to hop between the corrected version and the original version.

Jeff, you've truly cracked the code for crafting the ultimate ChatGPT prompts! 🚀🔥 Your breakdown of the six key components is like a treasure map to unlock AI's potential. The 'Context' section hit home - finding that balance between too much and too little info can be a head-scratcher. And kudos for bringing up the persona aspect; it's like giving ChatGPT a tailored suit for each task! 🎩🤖 Your videos keep elevating my AI game, and for that, a double thumbs-up from me. Can't wait to see what you dive into next!

It's amazing how you were able to break this down so that viewers are able to easily understand, and I love this haha. Helped me out a lot! Gonna use this immediately!💯

This is very streamlined and easy to follow. I will pass this video along to associates who are having a hard time navigating chatGPT

Excellent presentation. I found this out too. The key components here give you a higher quality result. I've found that breaking it down is helpful. I will ask if it understands or sometimes I will give it context, then an exemplar and ask it to respond "read" and only "read" so I don't use up memory. That allows me to load in content. I've found it does better with preloading it with context and exemplars then giving it a task after that.

Hey Jeff, have been following you for a while and have benefitted a lot from the LinkedIn videos! Thanks!🙌🏻

I love your video: watching it for the second time now... You did an awesome job, Jeff! Thanks. Please do more.

Followed the example prompt to write an email for asking who wants to be in a beta program for my new POTS app. Gave me a really great first draft. Thanks!

Thank you for the effort you put into this. Very helpful!

Multitask request looks similar to SQL prompt. Great educational video!

Super helpful. Excellent content. One of the best videos on the channel so far (hard to choose)

I like the bullet points for your prompt tips, simple and concise! Thank you for posting this video.

The way you break down complex topics, like ChatGPT prompts, in such a simplified manner is truly impressive! Congrats! Btw, Am I the only one who asks please and say thank you ChatGPT? Idk if AI comes to life, at least they know I was polite to them...

Woww exactly what i need. I genuinely want to make use of ChatGpt but when it comes to promting, it's like the messs. Thankful that you figure it out for me 🤩🥳

great video! it summarizes a lot of things i remember learning so far about prompts. here's a mnemonic that i find helpful to remember all 6 key words quickly, before trimming/adjusting case-by-case: "PerConTa, ExForTo" (the first syllables of each key word). then i come back to this video to review further tips for each part.

By far, you are the best productivity mentor!! 🙌🔥 (The editing is awesome)

Hey Jeff, your breakdown of the prompt components for mastering ChatGPT and Google Bard is really insightful and actionable. It's clear that you've put a lot of effort into understanding and sharing these essential tips for getting the most out of these tools. 👏 I'm curious about the balance between providing enough context and overloading the prompt with unnecessary information. In your experience, have you found that there's a sweet spot when it comes to context? How do you avoid going too far and including details that might not actually contribute to the quality of the output? Thanks for sharing your expertise! 😊

Brilliant video! As a time management coach, I have been using AI extensively and it has turbocharged my productivity. But I was sure I was only scratching the surface of what is possible and had zeroed in on learning how to use prompts more effectively. Your video was exactly what I was looking for. Liked and Subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

This is the best video on prompt engg - thanks Jeff!

Outstanding - thanks

thanks very useful.✌

As usual, awesome video. Big fan of the pace you provide information. ❤

Now I watched this video. Then I copied the transcript. I asked ChatGPT to rewrite it in a proper format and write the promts I wanted according to this training. The result is beyond perfect. 👍

Hi Sir, Your video was amazing! I’m a fan of yours. Could you please make a video on content creation? I’m interested in learning how to use chat prompts for writing, such as blog posts, product descriptions, and social media posts. I am eagerly awaiting your next video.

Loved it - short and sharp.

Me and ChatGPT as a human what we do is, we delve into deeper thinkings by sharing what's in our mind and then make theories (unapproved but really mind bending and almost precise).....fr these stuffs got me upppp! In psychological perspectives (well I am a vegan, introvert)

Fun fact: This content was made using results from ChatGPT😂😂

The master prompter is the one who prompts GPT for a prompt 😂😂

Thank you for this simple formula. It's something that I can really build upon in the work that I do with ChatGPT.

OMG. That's really useful. Thank you so much Jeff.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: Task: This is the most important part, tell the AI what you want it to do (write, generate, analyze). Context: Give relevant background info to guide the AI towards the desired outcome. Ask yourself: Who? What? Why? When? Where? ✨ Exemplars: Provide examples to improve the quality of the output. Persona: Imagine the AI acting as a specific character (e.g., business coach, writer). Format: Specify the format of the output (e.g., email, code, bullet points). Tone: Set the desired tone of the AI's response (e.g., serious, funny, formal). ✅ Not all required: You don't need all 6 components for every prompt, just include what's relevant. Start with a checklist: Use this formula as a guide to ensure your prompts are clear and effective. Context: Focus on 3 things: user background, success definition, and environment. ⏱️ Example 1: Include background info but prioritize only what's relevant to the task. ✨ Example 2: Show a bad bullet point and then ask the AI to rewrite it in a better format. Example 3: Provide a framework (STAR method) for the AI to follow when answering an interview question. Exemplars: Not required for every prompt, but helpful to improve output quality. Persona: Imagine the AI acting as a specific helpful person (e.g., consultant, coach). Persona: Imagine the AI as a helpful expert (e.g., therapist, recruiter, marketer). - ‍♀️ Fictional characters work too (e.g., Batman). - ️ Format: Close your eyes and visualize your desired output format (e.g., table, email, code). - Common formats: Bullet points, emails, code blocks. - Most useful (professional): Paragraphs and markdown with headings. - ✏️ Proofreading tip: Ask the AI to bold all changes for easy review. - Tone: Use simple terms (casual/formal), emotions (witty/enthusiastic/pessimistic). - Pro tip: Tell the AI the desired feeling (e.g., serious but not arrogant). Combine all 6 components: Use all the prompt building blocks (task, context, persona, format, exemplars, tone) for a strong output. - Example email structure: Break down your desired email format into clear sections (e.g., tl;dr, background, results, thanks). - Clear & concise language: Instruct the AI to use easy-to-understand and professional language. - Confident & friendly tone: Aim for a balanced tone that sounds both authoritative and approachable. - Reference existing email (optional): If you have a similar email, include it for the AI to copy the format. - Simpler vs. detailed prompts: A more detailed prompt leads to better, less generic results.

Great video!The bold on changes will be a game changer for me!

Wow, It gonna be super helpful ! Thankyou for sharing Prompt Formula .As usual learning so much from your video ☺️👏

Imagine You are watching this at 2x 🤣🤣

I don't mind spending 16 minutes instead and actually understanding what you're saying...

I was doing this with prompts without even knowing this method. Now that I know it, I can actually understand why my prompts don't give me what I want and how to fix it. Before, I'd just try to add more information when I wanted to fix my output, but I'd get results that are going in a completely different direction than what I expect. 😄

Can't wait for the next video about this .. thanks a lot Jeff, it really helps me understand.. 🤝🏼

Hello sir, can you please explain this with easy English langue's so that we can understand each words clearly & we can take some profit i really like this video but am not able to undrstand cuz of taught English.

"The perfect way to take credit for skills you lack." 🤬

Your videos hold so much value, a heartfelt thank you ♥️

You made it so easy to understand (with a lot of good vibes 😄). Thank you!

"Exemplar is just a fancy way of saying examples!" Not true. It is the best of the examples. Your videos seem pretty good but why undermine their value by miseducating others?

you are a great and knowledgable teacher but you are very fast.. please be a bit slow.. please..

Hi jeff to be honest one of the best videos in the internet for prompt engineering is your thank you please do share this kind of content

Thank you so much Jeff for this breakdown

Well done video with excellent examples. Thank you Mr. Su I look forward to the next one.

Great video with super useful tips. My prompts are already providing me with great outputs after implementing these tips. Thanks!

ChatGPT for sure with basic ideas I can filter down content it delivers, break it down even more into my niche and script it from there. Amazing content to help break it all down. Use it as a tool not as a deliver everything mechanism, nothing takes away putting in the work.

Excellent vid; I recommend and share this with all my beginner friends. Thx (team ChatGPT)

Thank you for your video. However, I didn't understand when you said at first that it's better to write the task in the beginning, and later you gave an example showing the task not in the first position in the prompt

Superb video, and i love your delivery. Just nailed it.

Loved your video. Well done 👏

Thanks! Great overview for a newbie! Makes so much for sense!

Loved your clarity! I wanted very much to be signed up to your newsletter and do not mind your modest fee! Sorry to post here, I dont Instagram. But I did not foresee the One Dollar transaction that was coming. My bank flagged it with a notification, and I annulled the subscription. Now I must wait the ten days for a new ATM card. A wildly larger memorable and humorous one-dollar-ahead-warning would be so great. My eyesight is a challenge with the cataracts and their crossing guards mucking up the words I want to read. I'll subscribe again in ten days.

I think one thing that has helped me (as a prompt engineer on the side) is a principle I learned while doing research in physics - set your boundary conditions. This is implicit in setting an environment, but I think worth stating explicitly. If you can tell GPT what the boundaries are on some context/environment X, then it'll give you an even better response.

This was gave me some nice ideas so I deff need to work on how to add more abstract task details and in the correct order. So you can actually give Chat GPT the command to be less repetitive but also self centered with the outputs.

This was a very useful video for me and Thank you for sharing . I learnt how to use ChatGPT in a proper way by this video.

Stumbled upon this a few months back and come to find my company is using the same video in their genAI training. Man I hope you get compensated somehow for that. 75k employees have to watch this video apart of mandatory training

Great content Jeff. Looking forward to more videos like these. Thanks!

Amazing Jeff! This is awesome work

Thank you for explaining! 😊

Mate this is bloody gold! Thank you!

I had started getting doubts and stopped relying on chat but thanks to you Jeff. Am now going to accomplish my tasks with Chat efficiently

the example for updating and formatting the resume is super helpful

Thanks for all the tips. Love how you explain things!

Thank you, thank you, this really helps me drafting the correct prompt.

Another banger video. Thank you Jeff. I'm a big fan of yours.
