Writing Prompts and Responses: a 1-2-3 process
Confirm the use case
1 ● Does it require reference text?
● What else is helpful (tone, format, or persona instructions)?
2 Write what you know
● Find what speaks to you: What do you want to buy,
experience, or explore? Who do you want to speak to?
3 Edit!
● Remove at least 1-2 sentences
● Use formatting and bullet points!
Rewriting: Explainer
Give the model a reference text and ask for a rework by giving specific formatting, use case, role or
tone.
Setup: The user wants to rewrite a specific text with a different role, perspective, tone or format.
Write: You must come up with the new perspective on the text. Do not just ask the model to paraphrase
what is in the reference text. You should indicate what the rewrite should change and what is needed to
achieve what you’re looking for, for example:
● Role: You should ask the model to add write the text from a different perspective or persona.
● Tone: Ask the model to use a different tone, for example making a text more professional or more
friendly.
● Format: Ask for specific format requests within the rewrite, for example adding bullet points, turning it
into a list, transforming it to a poem or story.
You must include:
● Reference Text pasted as text into the Reference Text Field
● Use case, tone, role, perspective or format that the rewrite must match
Rewriting: Prompt Starters
Make it useful Some options to consider:
● Change tone of text
Have some fun ○ From recipe list to restaurant menu
Write what you ○ From informal text to formal email
● Rewrite as opposing perspective
know
○ News story
○ Argument
● Comedic transformations
● Change text to consider new information
Summarization: Explainer
Give the model a reference text and ask for a summary of the content.
Setup: The user wants a summary of a specific text and can be focused on specific topics, or from a specific
point of view.
Write: You must ask the model for a condensed version of the provided text and what content the summary
must include. It can also be helpful to include how the outcome should look in terms of format. For example:
● Content: Ask the model what the summary should be focused on, for example: the most important
ideas, the content that provides a specific perspective, the content focused on a specific topic.
● Format: Ask for specific format requests within the summary, for example listing the content in bullet
points, the summary must not exceed 200 words.
● Examples: Summarize this text into 3 lines so that each paragraph is one line, Summarize the text in
no more than 100 words in the style of Elmo, Summarize the content that gives the defendant's
perspective
You must include:
● Reference Text pasted as text into the Reference Text Field
Summarization: Response
The text describes the career of two political rivals, Max and Million, and
Be Concise friends. It notes that, while they were often in direct competition,
they nevertheless supported each other as friends:
● Use Pyramid ● Friendship: Max and Million met on University debate team in
Principle 1995, where they became friends and rivals
● Use bullet points ● Competition: Max joined Green Party, Million joined the Blue
Party, and both became party leaders by 1996. They ran directly
● Do NOT use

pleasantries ○ Max won two elections, and Million won two, and they both
lost the third to Max’s daughter Biljana
● Continued Support: Despite political rivalries, they openly
supported each other and were often seen at each other’s
celebrations. Million even named his son Max.
Open Q&A: Explainer
Ask a question or solve a specific problem
Setup: The user has a specific need. Dinner, a garden they want to plant, a buying decision
they need to make.
Write: Make your prompt personal and meaningful. Most choices are driven by the below, so
consider if your prompt should include them:
● Where the user is (in a city / outside a city, which region)
● What they value (e.g., a good bargain vs. top luxury, diet, taste in food, music, what
their friends think, what their family thinks)
● Where they’ll use the items in question (with friends, at the beach, at a fancy dinner)
● When they’ll use it (seasons, time of day)
Do not include: Reference text
Classification: Explainer
Define a set of classifications you're looking for, and identify examples of them in text.
Setup: The user has an unstructured document and quickly wants to understand if it
contains specific sentiments or information.
Write: You must come up with the classification to check for. Do not just ask the model to
tell you what emotions are in a text. You should indicate what you’re looking for, for example:
● Emotions: e.g., happy, sad, angry, confused
● Diet: lactose free, vegan, vegetarian, etc.
● Expense types: Travel, Food/Restaurant, Internet, Utilities, Other…
● Review Sentiment: Very Good, Good, Okay, Bad, Very Bad etc.
You must include: Specific Classifications to look for, Reference text
Chatbot: Explainer
Have a conversation, focused on roleplaying, playing a game, or exploring a topic.
Setup: The user wants to explore a topic, play a game, workshop an idea, or game out a
scenario in ongoing conversation.
Write: Come up with an conversational engagement with the chatbot. Consider:
● Role: you can ask the model to play a role or take on a persona. This is often helpful to
shape the conversation, and real-world examples are usually better than ‘be a pirate.’
● Play: you can play a word game or guessing game.
● Examples: Working through a real-life scenario, playing a word game, workshopping an
idea with an expert, improvising a story
You must include: Clear instructions for what you want, the first line of dialogue
Brainstorming: Explainer
Develop a list of ideas with the model within a specific topic.
Setup: The user wants a list of ideas for a specific topic, activity, or problem to solve.
Write: You must ask the model for a list of ideas within specific theme. It is very helpful to provide
details into what the list requires and how the outcome should look like in terms of how many ideas
we want in our list. For example:
● Ideas: Ask the model for a list within a specific theme.
● Format: Ask for specific number of ideas, how long each point should be
● Examples: Give me a list of 5 italian restaurants in San Francisco with their locations. What
should I consider to bring on a camping trip? Give me 10 essential clothing choices. What are
3 medical drama TV series I can watch now, and how many episodes are available?
You must include:
● Topic and/or use case for the ideas
Closed Q&A: Explainer
Provide precise answers to specific questions based on a given reference text.
Setup: The user asks a specific question and provides a reference text to find the answer.
Write: You must answer the question accurately based on the information in the reference text. Ensure the
response is concise and directly addresses the question. This is like open Q&A above but limited to reference
text provided
For example:
● Ideas: Directly answer the question using information from the reference text.
● Format: Provide a clear and concise answer in one to three sentences. Adding Reference Text is a
must, and it cannot be URLs anymore!
● Examples: Please refer to this article and give me at least 3 potential new recipes that I could make as
vegetarian curries for the next Bank Holiday. (Reference Text: Article explaining the evolution and
cultural significance of curry in Britain, highlighting its unique fusion of Indian and British culinary
tradition)

thank you note to my son’s teacher for her past years work, and keep it informal and about 2 sentences
Rewriting Generalists To change a body of text often per instructions e.g. rewrite this explanation in way understood by 10-year-old or transform
the text from passive to active voice
Brainstorming Generalists To develop ideas with the chat assistant, often asking questions and iterating together. For example, give me 5 ideas to plot
ideas for interactive fiction related to an animal that escaped from a zoo. In a multi-turn conversation the user might iterate
on the chat assistants response
Summarization Generalists To condense a body of text yet retaining its meaning. Often used with instructions e.g. summarize within 5 lines in the tone
