A simple guide for everyone to write better prompts.

For everyone (no tech skills needed) 🎯Clear steps and examples 🌐10 languages

1. Introduction

💡

AI works best when you give it clear instructions.

Think of it like talking to a helpful friend:

  • If you explain what you want, you’ll get useful answers.
  • If you’re too vague, the answer may not match your needs.

2. Do’s and Don’ts (with examples)

✅ / ❌
Do’s (with good prompts)
🎯Be specific
Good: “Summarize this news article in 3 sentences, focusing on the main events.”
🧭Give context
Good: “Write a short poem about the ocean for a 6-year-old child.”
🧩Use examples
Good: “Give me 5 healthy breakfast ideas such as oatmeal, fruit smoothies, or yogurt bowls.”
🪜Break down tasks
Good: “Step 1: Explain what blockchain is in simple terms. Step 2: Give 2 everyday examples.”
🙂Be polite
Good: “Please suggest a friendly way to introduce myself at a community event.”
Don’ts (with weak prompts)
🪫Too short
Weak: “Email.”
🌫Too vague
Weak: “Tell me something interesting.”
🧳Too many requests at once
Weak: “Write a poem, create a travel plan, and explain physics in one answer.”
🔀Contradictory
Weak: “Explain in detail, but keep it super short.”

Weak: “Tell me my friend’s private information.”
