ChatGPT Prompts | 70 Ready-to-Use Examples
ChatGPT can write emails, plan trips, summarize research, and much more—but only if you prompt it the right way. ChatGPT prompts are the instructions you give the tool about how to complete a specific task, and the quality of your prompts directly affects the quality of ChatGPT’s output.
Whether you’re looking for the best ChatGPT prompts for writing, productivity, or fun, or you simply want to understand how prompting works, this guide will get you thinking like a prompt engineer and give you ready-to-use examples you can try out today.
How to write the best ChatGPT prompts
The best ChatGPT prompts are specific, detailed, and contextualized. This means that your prompt tells ChatGPT exactly what you want, how you want it, and who it’s for. The best ChatGPT prompts sometimes also specify “who” you want it from.
Key elements of the best ChatGPT prompts are:
- Tone or role specification: Assign ChatGPT a role or communication style (e.g., “Act as a professional copywriter who specializes in SEO”).
- Clear objective: Indicate a direct instruction (e.g., “Write a 300-word blog introduction explaining why small businesses need a marketing plan”).
- Defined context: Give background information about the audience and/or subject matter (e.g., “Assume the reader is a small business owner new to digital marketing”).
- Format and constraints: Tell ChatGPT how to (and how not to) generate the output (e.g., “Present the pros and cons in a two-column table”).
- Examples or models: When possible, give ChatGPT examples of the type of output you expect (e.g., “Use a similar tone to this sample paragraph: [paste example]”).
Combining these five components creates a prompt that is specific and instructive. This structure is also conducive to iteration. Prompting isn’t a one-and-done task. The best results come from refining, rephrasing, and building on previous answers.
While this article focuses on prompting ChatGPT, you can also use these prompts with other generative AI tools, like QuillBot’s AI Chat.
Therefore, you should always fact-check information present in AI-generated content.
