When it comes to addressing an artificial intelligence, a well-crafted request determines the value of the reply. With ChatGPT, the power lies in the art of asking the right question: a clear, contextualised and well-structured prompt multiplies the quality of the results, speeds up your workflow and literally saves hours of work. AI models evolve, yet these prompt examples will likely remain relevant in the future. Tweak the variables, iterate two or three times, and you’ll get razor-sharp answers tailored to your needs. Whether you are a marketer/SEO specialist, developer, teacher, coach or simply curious, mastering the art of prompt engineering is the skill that amplifies every other one.
Here are 60 ChatGPT prompts optimised for different fields. Now it’s your turn: copy, adapt, innovate… and let OpenAI’s chatbot (or our expert chatbots) unleash its creativity, and of course, your productivity!
