AI Tips & Tricks

Prompting techniques worth knowing — tap any one for details and an example.

• Role Play / PersonaGive the AI a job title and it answers like an expert in that field.
• Few-Shot ExamplesShow two or three examples of what you want instead of describing it.
• Zero-Shot PromptingFor simple, well-known tasks, a clear direct instruction is often enough.
• Chain-of-ThoughtAsk the model to think step by step before giving its final answer.
• Q&A FormatFrame the prompt as a direct question to keep the model focused on one answer.
• Prompt ChainingBreak a big task into a sequence of smaller prompts, each doing one thing well.
• Meta-PromptingAsk the AI to improve your prompt before you ask it to do the actual task.
• ReAct (Reason + Act)Have the model alternate between reasoning and taking a tool action.
• Self-ConsistencyAsk for the answer a few different ways and go with what most agree on.
• Structured Output / Output FormattingDemand a specific format — like JSON — so the response is easy to reuse.
• Constraints & GuardrailsTell the model what NOT to do and where the hard limits are.
• Iterative RefinementTreat the first answer as a draft, then ask for specific improvements.
