Discover all the essential information and the latest top GPTs about ChatGPT and learn how to leverage it effectively for maximum success. This guide will walk you through all you need to learn and know about ChatGPT, from prompting techniques to top GPTs.

This is Part 2 of my previous ChatGPT Cheatsheet.

ChatGPT is a multimodal AI assistant that can see, hear, and talk. However, many people still struggle to write effective prompts.

I personally use a few other productivity and AI tools along with ChatGPT, like Quillbot(4$ per month), TheSukha.co(5$ per month), and Notion AI(8$ per month). All the 3 tools are dirt cheap and cost me less than the monthly Pro subscription of ChatGPT. Still, great prompting skills will always benefit you, whether working with ChatGPT or any other LLM/Generative AI tool.

NOTE: To add more value and as a USP of my blog, at the end of this blog post, I have designed and attached a cheat sheet of the prompts discussed here for you to use and share.

Also, I’ll share this month’s bonus tip or best productivity tools that are cheap, effective, and a game changer, which I personally use, prefer, and insist you all try. So do check them out and use them.

Here is the Bonus tip for you all.

1) NOTION:

Bonus Tip 1: One great AI all-in-one Productivity/Task management tool I recently started using is Notion. Over the past few months, Notion has become famous and my absolute favorite.

If you’re like me, Juggling work, daily tasks, notes, and projects is tough. Multiple tabs for email, Slack, and Google Docs make it overwhelming. I personally use Notion AI, which streamlines everything in one place. It’s a game-changer, and you won’t regret using it.

I’ve been using its PRO version for a while now, and I must say, it’s been a complete game-changer for me. With almost every online co-working tool integration you can think of, it makes my daily work routine a breeze.

Plus, the pricing is unbeatable/cheapest for the tonnes of features it provides compared to all other all-in-one AI productivity tools I have used. I have taken up the annual subscription for mere 8$/month. Another awesome tool which is litreally dirt cheap.

2)QUILLBOT:

Bonus Tip 2: One great AI Productivity Writing tool I recently started using for day-to-day writing and tasks such as plagiarism checker, grammar checker, QuillBot-Flow , QuillBot AI Content Detector, Paraphraser, Summariser, and translator is QuillBot .

I wanted to find a more affordable alternative to Grammarly for my writing needs. After doing some research, I decided to purchase a yearly premium subscription for around $4 per month (58% off the regular price).

This is a much more cost-effective option compared to Grammarly, which charges $12 per month. In the past, I’ve used other writing and productivity AI tools, but this one is definitely the most budget-friendly and loaded with great features.

I personally love QuillBot Flow, and the whole set of amazing writing tools it offers for a writer to be productive and effective. Cherry on top is its UI and UX which is just so simple and easy to use. So, I wanted to share this awesome, productive tool with you all. Do check it out and use it in your day-to-day writing tasks.

It is literally a one-stop shop writing productivity tool for everyone to become more productive and masters of their skills.

I really insist you to go try the above tools out. Trust me, you won’t regret using these tools and will thank me later.

So let’s begin and jump right into it:

Strategies for Effective Prompts

Some proven and effective strategies I use personally to write prompts, and more specific and detailed information is in the Cheatsheet, do save it, to try them out later:

1) Write Clear Instructions:

You need to be specific and provide some context:

For Example:

Non-Effective: “How do I cook rice?”
Much More Effective: “Can you provide a step-by-step guide on cooking jasmine rice for two people using a rice cooker?”

2) Adopting Personas:

Showing how assigning a persona to GPT-4 can change its response style.

Example: “As a friendly nutritionist, give me a diet plan for weight loss.”
Using Delimiters:

3) Utilizing delimiters for separating instructions or multi-part questions.

Example: Using quotes or specific phrases to segment different parts of the prompt.

4) Splitting Complex Tasks into Simpler Subtasks:

Always try breaking down a complex query into smaller, more manageable parts. You can include points, lists, etc.

5) Chain of Thought:

Encouraging GPT-4 to display its reasoning process.

Example: “Explain step by step how you calculated the answer.”

6) Using External Tools (or plugins):

Combining GPT-4 with other tools for enhanced functionality, like code execution or data retrieval.

Check out and save my previous post about some must-have ChatGPT plugins, and read it once you are done reading this blog post:

7) Systematic Testing and Iteration:

The importance of testing different prompts, learning from the outcomes, and creating variations of prompts to see which yields the best results.

Examples:
Initial Prompt: “How do I bake a cake?”
Detailed: “Provide a recipe for a vegan oats chocolate cake, including ingredients and baking instructions.”

Initial Prompt: “Tips for traveling to Nepal.”
Variations: For Budget Travelers: “What are some budget-friendly travel tips for someone visiting Nepal for the first time?”
Cultural Focus: “Give me some cultural etiquette tips for a traveler visiting Nepal”
