Here are 7 Tips every ChatGPT user must Learn and Know:

1. Prompt Templates: Crafting the Key to Efficiency

Remember that Sunday roast recipe your Grandma used to make? She had it down to a science because she used a recipe — a template if you will.

Now, apply this logic to ChatGPT. Create reusable templates for successful prompts. This game-changer saves you a lot of time every time you use ChatGPT. It’s like having a secret recipe for success!

Here is some simple key factor to consider while crafting a Good Prompt:

  • Role: Act as…
  • Instruction: Create A …
  • Context: Target Audience, Style….
  • Input: The Topic is…
  • Output: format with styles, JSON, XML, table, list…
  • Example: you can provide examples to ensure the LLM produces exactly what you want. This may be very important in some scenarios.

2. Connect with Python Scripts: Harnessing Automation Power

Me Saving the earth 😂

Next on our list is about getting tech-savvy. You can automate full workflows with Python scripts and connect with external functions like data, APIs, search engines, and more. Think of it as giving your ChatGPT a ‘Swiss Army knife’ of functions to work with.

3. Chunking Your Inputs: Overcoming the Token Limit

ChatGPT has a token limit, but this isn’t a roadblock.

Chunking your input into approximately 3000 tokens is like fitting your prompts into bite-sized pieces that the AI can easily digest.

It’s particularly great in scenarios like summarizing lengthy content, like books or podcasts.

4. Custom Output Formats: Choose Your Style

One of ChatGPT’s abilities is to output results in various formats — CSV, JSON, HTML, YAML, XML, and Code. Choose the format that best suits your scenario. It’s like getting your favorite dish served in different cuisines!

Think about creating a prompt function that outputs JSON. You can use it to build an API or integrate it as a dedicated function in your workflow.

5. Provide Examples: Guiding Your AI

ChatGPT is smart, but it’s not a mind reader. Provide examples to guide it toward the output you want.

This is especially useful when you want to generate specific results, like Boolean values or data that can be used in other prompts. Learn more about prompt chaining here.

6. Templatize Successful Copies: Recreate the Magic

If something worked well once, why not replicate it? If you have a list of successful ad copies, subject lines, or titles, extract a template and create other copies based on it. It’s like having a winning lottery number!

I created a free AI tool that can extract templates from subject lines.

You can find more Free AI Tools on FreeAIKit, and even build your own AI Tool. Try it!

7. Integrate with Vector Databases: Boosting Your AI’s Memory

Lastly, integrating with vector databases can reduce API costs with the semantic search and add infinite memory to your Language Learning Model (LLM).

It’s like giving your AI infinite memory!
