This powerful tool can be a game-changer, but crafting the perfect prompt is key.

It took me way too long to figure that out!

That’s why I use these 4 go-to prompt frameworks to save time and maximize my results with ChatGPT.

They’re like my secret weapon, and I’m happy to share them with you.

Imagine a personal assistant who writes anything you need.

That’s what ChatGPT can be with the right guidance!

These frameworks will save you tons of time by getting you clear answers on the first try.

Trust me, those hours spent wrestling with ChatGPT will be a distant memory.

Here are 4 essential prompt frameworks to master ChatGPT

1. RTF: Role-Task-Format

Think of RTF as your secret sauce. It breaks your prompt into 3 key ingredients:

• Role: Who is ChatGPT in this scenario? A persuasive copywriter? A data analyst? Be specific!
• Task: What do you need it to do? Write a product description? Generate interview questions? Define the action clearly.
• Format: How do you want the output? An email, a script, a list? Tell ChatGPT its presentation style.

Prompt Example: “Act as a content creator and write an engaging intro for a blog post about using ChatGPT. Make it informative and grab the reader’s attention. (See? Simple and clear!)”

Good for: Quickly generating different creative text formats from a specific persona’s point of view.

2. RACE: Role-Action-Context-Expectation

RACE is like giving ChatGPT all the info it needs to win. Here’s the breakdown:

• Role: Same as RTF, define the persona taking action.
• Action: Clearly outline the desired task.
• Context: Give relevant background information for context.
• Expectation: Specify the desired outcome you want from ChatGPT.

Example:

“Function as a data analyst. Conduct a market research report on the vegan food industry. Consider the growing demand for plant-based alternatives and analyze competitor offerings. The expected output is a detailed report with key insights and recommendations.”

Good for: Creating complex, multistep creative projects with a specific brand voice and target audience.

3. RISEN: Role-Instructions-Steps-End Goal-Narrowing

RISEN helps you craft a detailed roadmap for ChatGPT, guiding it step-by-step. Think of it like building with Legos:

• Role: Define the persona involved.
• Instructions: Provide specific guidelines and brand voice considerations.
• Steps: List the key actions ChatGPT needs to take.
• End Goal: Specify the desired outcome you want to achieve.
• Narrowing: Focus on specific aspects to refine the output.

Example:

“Take on the role of a content creator for a travel blog. Develop a content calendar for the next quarter. Follow brand guidelines and target a millennial audience interested in budget travel. Include steps like brainstorming post ideas, researching destinations, and scheduling social media promotion. The end goal is to increase website traffic by 20%. Focus on creating engaging travel guides and itineraries.”

Good for: Creating complex, multistep creative projects with a specific brand voice and target audience.

4. RODES: Role-Object-Details-Examples

RODES is like the finishing touches on your masterpiece. It ensures everything aligns with your vision:

• Role: Define the persona involved.
• Objective: Specify the overall goal.
• Details: Offer specifics about the task and desired tone.
• Examples: Illustrate your points with relevant references.
• Sense Check: Ensure the output aligns with your expectations.

Example:

“Assume the role of a product manager for a language learning app. Your objective is to improve user engagement. Detail areas like gamification elements and personalized learning paths. Provide examples of successful features from competitor apps. Deliver a comprehensive proposal with a clear sense of how these changes will achieve the desired outcome.”

Good for: Refining and polishing the creative output to ensure it meets your specific goals and aligns with your vision.

These frameworks are your springboard to unlocking ChatGPT’s full potential.

Remember, practice makes perfect!

The more you experiment with these frameworks, the more comfortable you’ll become in crafting prompts that get you the results you want.
