ChatGPT is the friend of many entrepreneurs. It is a handy tool to quickly look up information, write a blog, or choose an original slogan for your company. You can just type something and let ChatGTP understand it. But there are ways to get better and more interesting results from this AI tool. We have 7 tips for you. Here they are.
1. Have the text written in the style of your favorite author.
Do you have your blogs written by ChatGPT? And is there an author whose writing style you like? Then give ChatGPT a few pointers, such as a link to an article by your favorite Volkskrant columnist. You will see that the bot will come out of its boring, businesslike, standard tone. Your blog will not come close to the genius of the real author, but it will take a good example. Letting ChatGPT take cues from other writers is a smart way to become more creative with the output you get.
2. Role-play.
Just as ChatGPT can mimic the style of certain authors, it can also play a role. Like an older customer of 80 years, a frustrated customer, or a very satisfied customer. Handy if you want to test how different people can react to the new communication style of your customer service.
3. Limit the answers you get.
Sometimes you get a lot of output when you give ChatGPT a command. But sometimes a short, clear answer is enough. So tell the bot to limit the answers to a certain number of words or paragraphs. Or ask specifically for a list with 5 bullets. Whatever you want. The bot can even write the perfect title tag. As long as you specify how many characters it can use. If ChatGPT doesn’t follow your command correctly, you can adjust or improve it. Then the bot will try again.
4. Provide examples to work with.
Another way to improve the answers you get from ChatGPT is to give the tool some information before you ask your question. Not sure what your next team outing should look like? Tell ChatGPT what activities you like and you’ll get new ideas based on that.
There is no magic combination of words you can use here. Always type in natural language and ChatGPT will understand what you mean. Indicate at the beginning of your question that you want to give examples. And tell the bot that you want an answer with those examples in mind.
5. Ask for feedback.
Of course, you don’t always have to ask ChatGPT to write texts from scratch. You can also ask for feedback on your writing. Whether it’s emails you send to customers or a social post you write for new products in your webshop. Ask for tips on spelling, grammar, tone, readability, or anything else you want to improve. Handy, so try it out today.
6. Give ChatGPT a starting point.
Are you working on a new product name or new recipes, but are you stuck? No problem. If you have started something, you can let ChatGTP finish it. It looks at what you have already written and builds on it. Give ChatGTP the ideas you have already come up with for the new product name. Or the ingredients you absolutely want to see in a quiche recipe. You will see that the bot comes up with surprising output that you might never have thought of yourself.
7. Hear multiple sides of a debate.
You’ve probably noticed how online arguments have tended towards the binary in recent years. Meaning someone feels like a man or a woman. ChatGPT can help you look at the grey area as well. The bot can explain different sides of an argument if you ask, with pros and cons. This way you can understand difficult issues from multiple angles. For example, whether gender-neutral toilets are needed in your office.
