Why the right strategy is so important for prompting

15.07.2025

Whether in training, in everyday office life or in the development of innovative applications - artificial intelligence has long been an integral part of modern work processes. However, one factor determines how helpful AI tools such as ChatGPT actually are: prompting - the art of formulating precise instructions.

 

Prompting: why is accuracy so important?
AI models generate answers based on statistical probabilities. The more precisely the goal, style and context are described, the more precise, relevant and useful the result will be.

 

Three immediate tips:
1. goal setting: formulate your goal and desired format at the beginning ("Goal: 300-word blog article on benefits of prompt engineering.")
2. role assignment: Give the AI the appropriate context with a specific role "You are an experienced marketing copywriter with SEO know-how."
3. touch up: Add missing details, ask for examples or adjust the tone - you'll get a perfect result in just a few iterations.


"The most important thing is not to stop asking". This quote from Albert Einstein reflects our attitude to lifelong living - and also applies to prompting: because if you practise regularly, you not only train the AI, but also your own prompting skills.
