Crafting effective prompts for Google Bard (or similar language models) can be vital in extracting the right kind of information or action from the model.

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/carousel of the ChatGPT prompts and techniques discussed here for you to use and share.

Also, Iā€™ll share this monthā€™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 youā€™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. Itā€™s a game-changer, and you wonā€™t regret using it.

Iā€™ve been using its PRO version for a while now, and I must say, itā€™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 , paraphraser, summariser, and translator is QuillBot .

I wanted to try something similar and cheaper than Grammarly.

I took up its yearly premium for around $4/month(58 % off). The price is literally dirt cheap compared to Grammarly(12$ per month) and other writing and productivity AI tools I have used in the past.

Personally, itā€™s UI and UX is very simple and easy to use. So I just wanted to share this awesome, productive tool with you all. Do check it out and use it in your day-to-day writing tasks.
