Write a prompt with the details that matter
A request such as “write something good” leaves the reader, purpose and facts unclear. Start with what you need to produce. Add the information the assistant must use, then say what a useful answer should look like. A short, specific request can be enough.
A prompt to adapt
Write a notice for [audience] about [event]. Use only these facts: [date], [time], [place] and [what people need to do]. Use plain English and stay under 100 words. Keep missing details in square brackets instead of guessing.
How to approach it
- Name the task and reader. A notice to parents needs different wording from a private message to a colleague.
- Separate instructions from source material. Introduce pasted text with “Source text:” so it is clear what should be rewritten or checked.
- State the details to preserve, such as names, dates, amounts and technical terms. Use placeholders for facts you have not decided.
- Choose a format that serves the task: a short email, a table or a numbered checklist. Add a length limit only when it matters.
- Review the first draft and request a focused change, such as a shorter opening or simpler Bangla, while keeping the checked facts.
A practical example
For a school notice, provide the confirmed time and venue first. If the draft adds a registration fee you did not supply, remove it and ask for a revision using only your notes. Recheck the final version rather than assuming the correction left everything else unchanged.
A detailed prompt can still produce an incorrect answer. The chat cannot check your calendar, open a private document or confirm facts you have not supplied.
