Coding Chat and Writing Effective Prompts

Coding Chat

Use Natural Language — Write your prompt as if you’re talking to a person. Clear, conversational language helps the AI understand your request.
Be Specific — The more details you provide, the better the result. For example, instead of "Write a story," try "Write a short story about two friends who find a mysterious map at their school."
Set a Role or Context — Ask the AI to "act as if" it’s a particular expert or character. For example, "Act as if you are a travel guide. Recommend three places to visit in Paris for food lovers."
State Your Desired Output Format — Tell the AI how you want the answer presented. For example, "Summarize this article in bullet points" or "Present this as a dialogue between two characters."
Use "Do" and "Don't" Statements — Clarify what you want included or excluded. For example, "Create a recipe using chicken and rice. Don’t include any dairy products."
Give Examples — If you want a certain style or tone, provide a sample sentence or brief example.
Iterate and Refine — If the fnbbirst response isn’t quite right, adjust your prompt and try again. Building on previous outputs helps you get closer to what you want.

"You are a chef. Suggest a three-course vegetarian meal for a dinner party."
"Act as a graphic designer. What colors would you recommend for a tech startup’s logo?"
