Ask well. Five elements are enough.

An AI answers the question you ask it, not the one you had in mind. Here is how to go from a vague answer to a usable text: what is also called writing a good prompt.

AI training · Get started · Lesson 1 · 8 minutes

In one sentence: Role, context, task, constraints and format: with these five elements, a vague answer becomes a usable text.

The five elements of a good request

An AI guesses nothing: the more precise the request, the more usable the answer. These five elements fit in a few lines and work with every assistant, including tools hosted in Switzerland.

  1. The roleWho the AI should be: an accounting firm’s assistant, a writer, a careful lawyer.
  2. The contextWhat it cannot guess: the client, the history, the situation.
  3. The taskA verb and a result: write, summarise, compare, sort.
  4. The constraintsWhat you want and what you do not: the tone, the length, how formal to be.
  5. The formatThe shape of the result: an e-mail subject then the text, a table, a list.
