50+ awesome prompts for ChatGPT every company should use

ChatGPT is undoubtedly the spark that has ignited a revolution. The service has smashed through previous records of tech adoption, acquiring 100 million users just two months after launch. People started to freely experiment with the tool to support personal and business goals, be that building a personalized training program or supporting their business. 

The tool is accessed via a chat-like interface, where the model responds to user questions and requests. The request made to AI with the intent to get a particular result is called a prompt. 

What is a ChatGPT prompt?

A ChatGPT prompt, or a prompt for any other generative AI-powered solution (like Midjourney or Dall-e), is the text a user enters into the system with the goal of getting an answer. “Prompt” itself is not a new or devised word – according to the Cambridge Dictionary, it means: 

• To make something happen
• To make someone do something

Prompts are also used when it comes to AI. Prompting has appeared to be an art in itself, in the same way, that web searches have come up with a semi-language of search queries as entered into a search engine. 

The possible application of AI and the often inspiring, sometimes mind-boggling effect of using AI has brought forth a new occupation that was never thought of before – the prompt engineer. 

What is a prompt engineer?

A prompt engineer is a new position describing an individual skilled in writing the best prompts for ChatGPT and similar generative AI-based tools which get the desired outcomes. Despite the overall “intelligence” of these tools, using them may be extremely frustrating for a person not used to interacting with these – in fact, mindless – machines. 

According to Euronews, the position of a prompt engineer comes with a high salary, reaching up to six figures yearly. 

It is possible that every company may need a prompt engineer sooner or later. On the other hand, guides like this one may support a company from the earliest hours of operation, netting both savings and optimization opportunities with (completely free!) ChatGPT prompts.

Awesome ChatGPT prompts for every startup owner.

To make this guide as useful and handy as possible, the Tooploox GenAI team has bundled these prompts into areas like sales, marketing, HR, and so on, which are seen in nearly every company. 

General suggestions

Regardless of the industry, context, or even purpose of the prompt, there are some general guidelines one needs to follow to get the best results. 

• Deliver as much context as possible – ChatGPT is an empty box, and the user needs to deliver as much information as possible to get the best results.
• Don’t be afraid to write a long prompt – while it may be tempting to write a sleek one-liner, the chat will respond with only as good a result as the prompt is precise and polished. 
• Don’t be afraid to ask and re-ask repeatedly – the machine is nothing more than a machine. If the results are unsatisfactory, just ask again – the process will be repeated, and the new results may be much better. 
• Use role-play – this may sound a bit ridiculous, but it works. Ask ChatGPT to assume a specific role – for example, “a skilled marketing manager,” a “polite and patient sales executive,” or “a diligent editor.”
• Be specific about the desired result – the system benefits from as direct instructions as possible. The prompt author needs to be specific if he or she expects to get a table, a list, plain text or code with comments – you name it. – YOU – name it. 
• Add a negative prompt if necessary – enrich your prompt with information about results you don’t want to get. This can include keywords or ideas one wants to omit, for example, to deliver code for some machine learning solution without using a particular technology, despite its popularity. 
• Don’t overtrust the machine – ChatGPT is only an AI tool – it does good work generating text from the gargantuan amounts of text the model has previously digested. Yet it lacks an accurate understanding of its output, and it can hallucinate – generate plausible-looking output that is just babble and nonsense. Yet it is a highly convincing babble that can be deeply confusing. 
• Don’t share confidential or sensitive information – last but not least, ChatGPT is constantly improving itself using input from its users. That output can be later used to generate a response for another user – risking a data breach, as has been seen in Samsung. 

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing require a good deal of text to be written and delivered. Also, it requires conceptual and brainstorming work that may be tedious or even cause burnout – imagine delivering several unique, fresh, and catchy pieces of ad copy or inspiring pitches a day. That’s why business owners may consider using ChatGPT to release the full potential of all text-based marketing channels.

Human resources are all about interpersonal relations and gnawing through endless piles of text, be it resumes, cover letters, emails or messages.
