00:00In this video, I'm going to make you an advanced prompt engineer

00:02And if you're unfamiliar with the word prompt engineering, well, first of all, prompt is just how you ask or request information from generative AI tools like Chat GBT

00:13in prompt engineering is understanding all of the tips and being educated on what works and what doesn't to get better results from these generative AI tools when you're asking it or requesting information

00:27Now, I promise in the first two minutes you're going to get all of the answers that you need

00:34If you got any value out of this, please like the video, please subscribe, and please comment

00:38I answer all of the comments

00:40I always look forward to them

00:43All you have to do is ask chatbt or whatever generative AI tool that you're using to act as a worldclass prompt engineer

00:53Your job is to help me generate powerful high impact prompts tailored to my needs

00:58First, ask me what I'm trying to achieve

01:01Then ask a few smart follow-up questions to clarify context, tone, tools that I'm using, and my ideal output format

01:09Once you understand my goal, give me an expert level prompt

01:14Make sure the prompt is clear, flexible, and easy to reuse

01:18That's all you got to do

01:18Now you're a prompt engineer

01:20Now you're an advanced prompt engineer

01:23I've also created a chatbot

01:27I call it prompt genius

01:27All you have to do scan the QR code

01:31It's already been programmed to act like a prompt engineer

01:37It's already been programmed to act like a prompt engineer and to ask all the the right questions so that you get the best prompt back

01:48Now, I'm going to also include this as part of the PDFs that I'm going to share in this video

01:51So, there you have it

01:54Now, you're an advanced prompt engineer

01:56That's all it takes, folks

01:56That's all it takes

01:58Edit

01:58So, in order to get the most out of your prompts, here are the steps you should take

02:05First of all, avoid unnecessary words

02:07So many you people use please and thank you and they joke around that when we finally have generative AI consciousness that the generative AI will remember them as the friendly people that were always kind to the generative AI

02:27You could you could stop doing that

02:27You could stop doing that

02:31Every word that doesn't add value weakens your prompt

02:34Period

02:38Be clear

02:38Be concise

02:38Be direct

02:43So, in other words, here's a bad prompt

02:46Can you please help me maybe put together a kind of summary of our quarter 4 results for our leadership team? Now, it's bad because it's wordy

02:58It's vague

02:58It slows down the understanding and it just clouds the task for the large language model

03:06Here's a good prompt

03:06Summarize our Q4 results in four bullet points for a leadership update

03:13It's clear

03:13It's concise

03:16It just gets to the point

03:18Every word has a value in that sentence request

03:25That's how you should do it

03:28Second, be descriptive

03:28So, you want to paint a clear picture

03:32Add context

03:32Add detail and specifics to help the AI generate what you truly want

03:46So, in other words, here's here's a bad prompt

03:47Make a presentation for my team

03:52Now, the reason why that's bad, it's too general

03:54What topic? How long? What format? So, here's a good prompt of being descriptive

04:01Create a five slide deck to show how generative AI can improve client response times in our firm

04:12Far more descriptive, greater chance you're going to get the result you're looking for

04:18Next, set audience and tone

04:18You always want to define who the content is for and the style that you want

04:26Do you want it funny? Do you want it serious? Do you want it formal? You want it professional sounding? So, here's a bad prompt

04:36Tell me about our AI plan

04:41There's no clarity on who's it for or the tone needed

04:44Here's a good prompt

04:47explain our AI adoption strategy in a confident tone for department heads

04:54So, we're giving clarity on what we're trying to accomplish here

04:57We're trying we're we're explaining the audience

05:02We're explaining the tone

05:02We want it to sound confident

05:05Next, use roleplay

05:07This is a very powerful characteristic

05:11We start with act like a act like a lawyer, act like a doctor or pretend you are to set up a point of view or professional lens for the AI

05:21So a bad prompt, what should I say to my staff? Lacks perspective and clarity on purpose

05:32Here's a good prompt

05:32act like a CEO addressing the staff during a companywide meeting about integrating AI tools

05:43Now, the generative AI is going to search all of the information that it has about all of the CEOs out there and how they've responded in the past on all of the material, the billions of words, and it's going to put together a better prompt for you

06:04Use limiting words

06:04Again, every word has value

06:08Use limiting words

06:08Words like only, focus on, or avoid

06:11Help guide responses and reduce fluff or irrelevant details

06:22Bad prompt

06:22Give me some AI tools

06:27Rod, directionless

06:27What kind of tools for what? Here's a good prompt

06:30List only customer service AI tools that can be implemented within 30 days and cost under $500 a month

06:40Clear, precise

06:46We're saying list only customer service AI tools

06:51It allows the generative AI to focus in on what you truly want and then just lose the noise because again it's trained on billions of words

07:01There's a lot of information out there

07:04So if you can simplify it for the generative AI tool, then you're going to get a far better response

07:15Avoid negative phrasing

07:15Words like don't or not or exclude are often ignored or misinterpreted

07:26Instead, clearly state what should be included

07:28Bad prompt

07:28Don't include any tools that require monthly subscriptions

07:36Now, that's a bad prompt because the AI may still include a bunch of a bunch of monthly subscriptions because again, it's waiting every word in that prompt

07:49It's not necessarily connecting the don't with the monthly subscriptions

07:54So, a better way to do it is to say only include free one-time payment AI tools suitable for startups

08:02It's far more effective to use a limiting phrase like only only include

08:11It's now going to focus in on what you're asking it for versus what you're not asking it for

08:22Share examples

08:22This is another powerful way to get the response that you're looking for where you share examples of what you're trying to accomplish

08:37Ad prompt

08:37Create an ad for our marketing campaign

08:39It's vague

08:39The AI doesn't know your industry, your audience, your preferred style, nothing

08:48Good prompt

08:48I included three examples of ads we like

08:55I included three examples of ads we'd like ours to look like

08:57Create an ad for our marketing campaign

09:00and here's our website for your review

09:03Not only in this prompt are you sharing three examples, but you're also giving it your website to search your website, review your website, understand your business, understand your industry, and create a much better response

09:22The desired outcome, the result that you're expecting, very useful for prompts

09:28What's the final result that you want after this prompt is created? What are you trying to accomplish? Or uh are you looking to inform, persuade, create, summarize, solve? All of those things are very helpful, bad prompt

09:45Write about the need for chat GBT in our business

09:51Why is it bad? Does not specify what you want the reader to do or understand

09:57Here's a good prompt

09:57Write a persuasive email to convince partners to pilot chat GBT internally

10:04The goal is to gain their approval to proceed with the initiative

10:13So ultimately we're telling them here's the result we want

10:14We want the leaders to approve it so that we can proceed with the initiative of using chat GBT internally

10:27clarify output length GBT

10:27A lot of these generative AI tools could be very wordy, very lengthy, can give you the response perhaps in a in a format that you're not looking for

10:38So, be specific

10:42If you want a paragraph, ask for a paragraph

10:44If you want five bullets, ask for that 100 words

10:46However you want to do it, clarify the output length

10:50Here's a bad prompt

10:53Tell me about CRM benefits

10:56There's no length or structure given

10:58Here's a good prompt

10:58List five bullet points summarizing the key benefits of a CRM system for a construction company

11:10And lastly, ask for formats

11:10Request output as a list, charts, timelines, table, bullet points

11:16So very useful

11:19And they're so good at doing this

11:23Bad prompt

11:23Break this information on the payroll software out for me

11:28Terribly written, too, by the way

11:28Why is it bad? Doesn't tell AI how to organize or display results

11:34Good prompt

11:36Create a table comparing three payroll software tools by price, support, and ease of use

11:46Now, those are the prompt tips

11:46They're all very logical, all very simple

11:52And basically, the more descriptive you are, the cleaner the prompt, the fewer the unnecessary words that are in there, the better the response

12:04I needed you to understand how to prompt first, but this is really all you need to do in order to become an advanced prompt engineer

12:17Now lastly, what you could do, you go to the next level and you can build a custom chatbot that automatically upgrades weak prompts

12:28So you could use chat GBT, the my GBTs, create your own chatbot that already knows that's what you want

12:34I want a better prompt

12:36You put in your prompt, it rewrites your prompt, asks you a list of questions, and gives you the best version of that

12:45And look at that

12:45I already created it for you

12:52That QR code right there

12:52I will have this information in the show notes

13:00All you have to do here is put in your prompt

13:05It'll follow up by asking several more questions and then give you you best chance of getting the response that you were looking for in the first place

13:18Now that's prompt engineering

13:18You've gone from beginner to advanced in just this one video

13:23I will have links to those slides that you saw so that you could refer back to them

13:30And it takes me a lot of time to create these videos, edit these videos, and create the PDFs that go along with these videos

13:38So, if you could kindly like it, comment that it's giving you value because that keeps me going, and share it with your friends, that would be greatly appreciated

13:54Good luck at Prompt Engineering.
