Everything you leave out, it has to guess. **Try it:** run both prompts and compare the answers. ```interactive title="Same AI, two prompts"

Prompt A

Write an email about our price increase.

AI answer

Press “Run both prompts”.

Prompt B

Write a short email to our coffee subscribers (many have been with us for years). From 1 March the monthly price goes from $18 to $20, because green beans cost us about 30% more. Keep it warm and plain — no corporate phrases. Under 100 words, with a clear subject line. Remind them they can pause anytime.

AI answer

Press “Run both prompts”.

``` The model was the same; only the prompt changed. A vague prompt gets a generic answer full of blanks. A specific one gets something you can send.2e:T3177,Most strong prompts are built from the same parts: | Part | Tells the AI… | |---|---| | **Task** | what to make | | **Context** | the facts only you know | | **Audience** | who will read it | | **Format** | the shape: length, list, table… | | **Constraints** | the rules: tone, must-haves, don'ts | | **Example** | what good looks like | **Try it:** switch the parts on one at a time and watch the answer — and its score — change. ```interactive title="Prompt builder"

Parts in your prompt

Your prompt

AI answer

How good is the answer?

Ready to send

``` You rarely need all six. Start with task + context, then add the part that fixes what's wrong.2f:T1f2b,The AI knows a lot about the world, but nothing about *your* situation. Every fact you leave out is a gap — and it either leaves a blank or, worse, **makes something up**. **Try it:** add the facts one by one. Then switch on **Fill gaps with guesses** to see what a chatbot often does instead. ```interactive title="Fill the gaps with facts"

Facts only you know — tap to add them to the prompt

Your prompt

AI answer

Fill gaps with guesses (what chatbots often do)

``` Invented details sound just as confident as real ones — like a discount code you never created. Give the facts, or tell it to leave blanks.30:T1faa,The same topic needs different words for different readers. Say who it's for, and the AI changes its vocabulary, its sentence length and its examples. **Try it:** pick a reader and compare the answer and the chart. ```interactive title="One question, four readers"

Your prompt

Explain what a website cookie is , in about 60 words.

AI answer

purple = technical terms

How the language changes for each reader

``` "For a 10-year-old" and "for a lawyer" are each one short line in a prompt — and they change everything.31:T1d7a,If you know how you'll use the answer, ask for that shape: a list to scan, a table to compare, JSON to paste into another tool. **Try it:** switch formats, then press **Find** to spot the plan you want. ```interactive title="Same facts, four shapes"

Your prompt

Compare our three coffee plans: Basic, Plus and Office.

AI answer

``` Name the shape exactly: "a table with columns Plan, Price, Bags, Delivery" beats "make it clear".32:T20b3,Describing what you want is hard; **showing** it is easy. Put one to three examples in the prompt and the AI copies their pattern. This is called *few-shot prompting*. **Try it:** add the examples one by one and watch the tags. ```interactive title="Few-shot: examples in the prompt"

Examples in the prompt:

Your prompt

AI answers for four new reviews

Out of 4 reviews

``` Choose examples that cover the different cases: the neutral question was tagged right only once the prompt had a neutral example.33:T1e5c,Constraints are the rules: how long, what tone, what must be in, what must stay out. Without them the AI picks for you — usually long and stiff. **Try it:** change the tone and the length, then switch on the must-include rule. ```interactive title="Tone and length"

Tone

Length

Must include: suggest someone else who could help

Your prompt

AI answer

``` Rules the AI can measure work best: "under 50 words" beats "short", and "friendly, like a note to a colleague" beats "nice".34:T2a26,Your first prompt is a first draft. Read the answer, say exactly what to change, and let it revise. Two or three short rounds usually beat one "perfect" prompt. **Try it:** send the three pieces of feedback, in any order. ```interactive title="The feedback loop"

Your feedback — send one at a time

AI answerDraft 1

How close to what you wanted

``` Good feedback is specific: "cut it to 3 short paragraphs" works; "make it better" doesn't.35:T1edd,Chatbots state guesses and facts in the same confident voice. You can ask them to **flag what they're unsure of** — then check what matters. **Try it:** compare the plain and careful prompts. Press **Verify the facts** for each. ```interactive title="Plain answer vs. careful answer"

Your prompt

AI answer

``` - Add a line like: *"For each fact, say how sure you are and give a source. Tell me what I should check."* - Asking for sources helps — but open them: an AI can invent links and quotes too. - You are the editor. Anything you send or publish, you check.36:T1d02,Write a real prompt for something you need this week: an email, a summary, a plan, a post. 1. Paste it below and see which parts it has. 2. Add the missing parts that matter for this task. 3. Run it in your AI chatbot (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini…), then send one round of specific feedback. ```interactive title="Prompt checker"

Paste or write your prompt:

A rough check that looks for words, not a grade — a prompt can be good without all six parts.

``` **Done when:** you have an answer you would actually use — and you've checked its facts.37:T47c,## A prompt gets a generic answer full of [blanks]. What's the likely fix? - [ ] Add context — the facts only you know - [ ] Ask the same thing again - [ ] Add more exclamation marks ## Why put examples in a prompt? - [ ] The AI copies their pattern, so the answers come out consistent - [ ] They make the prompt look professional - [ ] The AI needs them to understand English ## Which constraint is easiest for an AI to follow? - [ ] "Under 50 words" - [ ] "Not too long" - [ ] "The usual length" ## The first answer is close, but too formal. What's the best next step? - [ ] Reply with specific feedback: "less formal, like a note to a colleague" - [ ] Start over with a completely new prompt - [ ] Accept it — the AI knows best ## The AI gives you a statistic and a link to its source. What should you do? - [ ] Open the link and check that it says what the AI claims - [ ] Trust it — it came with a link - [ ] Delete the link and keep the statistic ## Which belong in a strong prompt? (pick all) - [ ] The facts only you know - [ ] Who will read the answer - [ ] The shape you want it in - [ ] Your password, so it can log in for you24:["$","$L2c",null,{"listing":{"id":"ecdf9fd7-e0f9-4b93-85d4-212f647feffb","slug":"prompt-writing-workshop-get-useful-answers-from-ai-1b2e","title":"Prompt Writing Workshop — Get Useful Answers from AI","minutes":75},"author":{"name":"Workshopy"},"version":{"number":1,"steps":[{"kind":"content","title":"Same AI, two prompts","position":1,"body_markdown":"$2d"},{"kind":"content","title":"The six parts of a good prompt","position":2,"body_markdown":"$2e"},{"kind":"content","title":"Context: the facts only you know","position":3,"body_markdown":"$2f"},{"kind":"content","title":"Audience: who is reading?","position":4,"body_markdown":"$30"},{"kind":"content","title":"Format: ask for the shape","position":5,"body_markdown":"$31"},{"kind":"quiz","title":"Check: the first four parts","position":6,"body_markdown":"## Your prompt says \"Write a product description.\" What is the most useful thing to add first?\n- [ ] The facts: what the product is, its price, what makes it different\n- [ ] \"Please\" and \"thank you\"\n- [ ] \"Make it amazing\"\n\n## You leave out the date of an event.
