Official ChatGPT Prompt Engineering Guide From OpenAI
OpenAI finally recent an official prompt engineering guide for getting better results out of ChatGPT. This official guide if written for developer using the API, but I want to simplify and give you practical prompts, even if you are not a developer and just want to get better answers out of ChatGPT.
This document is broken up in to six strategies for improving our prompts. and within each strategy, they have several practical tactics. And I want to cover each one with prompts included, in this video.
I’ve spend about a year now improving my prompting technique and I still found a lot of useful ideas here.
Here is a link to the official OpenAI post
platform.openai.com/docs/guid...
I've put together a complete PDF documents with the strategies and tactics mention in the OpenAI document as well as other useful prompts you can copy and paste.

I love that we can specify paragraph counts instead of word counts to meet limit requirements. Great stuff!
i love absolutely everything about this video, thank you for inspiring my studying of this powerful and important topic with these great nuances.
thanks bro this video helps me a lot ❤🙏, love from Bharat(India)
The strategies and techniques discussed in the KZhead video transcript for improving prompts in ChatGPT can be concisely listed as follows: 1. **Clear Instructions**: - Include details in questions for more relevant answers. - Adopt a persona in prompts, like asking for a response with a joke or in the style of a business consultant. - Use delimiters to clearly indicate distinct parts of the input, such as triple quotation marks or XML-like tags. 2. **Reference Text**: - Instruct the model to answer using reference text, like using a specific article to answer a question. - Answer with citations from a reference text. 3. **Complex Tasks into Subtasks**: - Use intent classification to identify the most relevant instructions. - Summarize or filter previous dialogue in long conversation scenarios. - Summarize long documents piece-wise and construct a full summary. 4. **Model's Time to Think**: - Instruct the model to work out its own solution before concluding. - Use inner monologue to allow the model to process thoughtfully. - Ask the model if it missed anything in the previous pass for self-review. 5. **Use of External Tools** (primarily for developers): - Employ external tools and APIs for better knowledge retrieval. - Systematically test changes in prompts for optimal results. 6. **Test Changes Systematically**: - Change one aspect of the prompt at a time and compare results. - Save effective prompts for repeated use. Each strategy encompasses various tactics aimed at refining the interaction with ChatGPT to achieve more accurate and relevant responses.
Almost never comment on vids, i js wanted to show my gratitude for this tho. it feels like a year of learning about chatgpt summarized in 20 minutes in a way that any1 can understand. we need more tutorials like this.
Thank you! really appreciate this

Thank you, Thank you. I truly appreciate you putting this together !!!
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing as always! thank you!!
A great vid.. No need for a paid course.. A million thanks!

thanks
1:00 I think they did release it then or it's certainly been around for a long time. Perhaps they have just updated recently but I read through the guides many months ago.
nice:)
Thank you for the great lesson. I have a question about adopting a persona, can i use it also when building my own GPT and give that instruction at the configuration page? or i need to add that at the beginning of each new chat?
No with your own GPT, you give it enough instructions so it doesn’t need these kind of prompts.
Thank you@@SkillLeapAI
You are amazing thank you so much!!! Is there a pdf guide of prompts and setup (like those that you use here) on your skill leap? I downloaded the resources and am not finding one like you mention. Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Which tool do you use to make this list, do I use any GPT? What was the prompt? Thank you for the answer
Sir, to say the least, You're The MOST!! Just sayin'.
13:23 Summarize the previous answer, After a New Prompt is given. (They don't have long memory)
Totally off the subject. I'm sorry. I am trying to buy an item on OfferUp. I have a question. How do I access the entire thread of my messages with the seller? I can only see the last half. Thanks. Again, sorry for hijacking this post.
If no one answers or offers a response, you're not hijacking the post.
links doesnt work, can you please renew or send me
Can you send me an email and I'll attached it to the PDF to the reply. support@skillleap.ai
