of tasks and prompts used with artificial intelligence.

00:00:07

Clearly defining the task is essential to get

00:00:09

accurate and relevant answers from the AI.

00:00:12

The task is the heart of your prompt.

00:00:14

It's the precise action you asked the AI to perform.

00:00:19

A clear task definition directs the AI directly to the desired outcome,

00:00:24

ensuring the interaction is accurate and efficient.

00:00:27

Without explicit instruction,

00:00:29

AI can't guess your intentions,

00:00:31

which can lead to inaccurate or irrelevant answers.

00:00:35

To make the AI understand exactly what you expect,

00:00:38

use precise action verbs such as write,

00:00:41

analyze,

00:00:42

summarize,

00:00:42

or translate.

00:00:44

Also,

00:00:44

specify the content by indicating precisely the topic or

00:00:48

subject that the AI needs to work on.

00:00:52

Here's an example to illustrate the importance of accuracy and prompts.

00:00:56

A vague request such as

00:00:58

Tell me about the climate is too general and risk producing an untargeted response.

00:01:03

On the other hand,

00:01:04

a specific request like

00:01:06

Write a 500 word report on the impacts of climate change in Europe in 2024,

00:01:12

including recent statistics and concrete examples,

00:01:15

guides the AI to the exact results you want to achieve.

00:01:20

If your request is complex,

00:01:21

it is beneficial to break it down into simpler subtasks.

00:01:25

AI is most effective when it focuses on one action at a time.

00:01:30

By breaking your application down into separate steps,

00:01:33

you get more detailed and structured answers.

00:01:38

Here is an example to illustrate the structured approach and prompts.

00:01:41

First,

00:01:42

ask for a detailed plan by saying,

00:01:44

develop a plan for home energy conservation methods.

00:01:51

Then expand on each point of the plan by saying,

00:01:54

for each point in the plan,

00:01:56

write an explanatory paragraph with practical examples.

00:02:00

This method allows you to delve deeper into each aspect of the topic

00:02:03

and achieve rich,

00:02:05

organized content.

00:02:07

Make it clear what information the AI should rely on.

00:02:11

If you are referring to a specific text,

00:02:13

mention it explicitly or use quotation marks to delimit it.

00:02:19

Clearly defining the task in your prompt is

00:02:21

fundamental to getting relevant answers from the AI.

00:02:24

Accurate instruction is the first step

00:02:26

towards successful interactions with artificial intelligence.
