STEP #1

Request your information in the

most relevant way to your
desired outcome.

Experiment with: "list"

"summarise" "generate" "in a
table,", and "code". All of these
will produce different outcomes.

EXAMPLE:
Generate some fantasy novel
plot points in a table.

Tone is crucial for getting the

correct output.

Ask ChatGPT to write a "firm"

complaint, a "professional"
report, a "humorous" speech or a
"descriptive" story.

Experiment with different tones

and emotions.

Start your conversation by

"priming".

This is where you set the

conditions for the conversation.

They can be continued for the

rest of the conversation,
allowing you to get consistent
outputs from the same persona.

EXAMPLE:
You're a professor of history who
is highly respected.

You use advanced language and

explain things in great detail.

You are preparing to explain

topics to students. Maintain this
character throughout.

ChatGPT will remember your

previous inputs in a chat
window.

This is why you should use a new

window for every conversation.

You can reference previous

responses and ask it to build on
them or modify them.

EXAMPLE:
Rewrite the blog you wrote two
messages ago but add keywords
about cooking and condense.

Tokens are text characters. This

is how ChatGPT decides how
much text to print.

Limit the token length to get

answers that are a specific
length.

EXAMPLE:
Print a funny poem about the last
world cup in under 25 tokens.

STEP #6
MINDSTREAM.NEWS REPOST

Get ChatGPT to imitate your own

writing style by copying in some
of your own text and asking it to
analyse the style and replicate it.

The more samples the better.

Simply tell ChatGPT when you're
adding a sample.
MINDSTREAM.NEWS REPOST

EXAMPLE:
You're an expert writing analyst.
Analyse my writing style and
recreate it when I ask for content
(*paste writing sample*).

STEP #7

Temperature is a measure of how

much creative freedom ChatGPT
has, on a decimal scale from 0-1.

With 1 being the most creative

freedom. Temperatue 0 will be
blunt and to the point.

EXAMPLE:
Write a whimsical story about a
day in the life of a dog,
temperature 0,9.

STEP #8

System messages allow you to

offer more advanced guidance to
ChatGPT. Simply include your
commands in [square brackets]
and chatGPT will use them for
context.
MINDSTREAM.NEWS REPOST

Combine this with prompting for

powerful generation tools by
presetting system commands in
prompts, such as the professor
example below.

EXAMPLE:
[Professor] how much did Harry
Truman impact civil rights in
America?
