💡 Quick Tutorial

Turn Basic Prompts Into Brilliant Ones — Effortlessly

Frustrated by less-than-ideal AI outputs? Crafting the perfect prompt is key… but also significantly complex. 🫠 Thankfully, OpenAI’s new free (for now) prompt generator instantly turns even the simplest of instructions into highly detailed prompts.

Simply type in your prompt… it can even be as basic as “write a blog post”… and the prompt generator will create a truly effective prompt that:

  • Is written in markup language, which improves LLMs’ ability to understand & generate a structured response

  • Outlines specific instructions for the LLM (e.g., ChatGPT) to follow

  • Explains how the LLM should format its output — with examples

  • Includes any relevant additional notes needed to get the best results

How To Access It

  1. Go to platform.openai.com & log in (top right) using your ChatGPT credentials

  2. Click the ‘Playground’ tab (top right)

  3. Hit the star icon on the right side of the ‘System instructions’ bar

  4. Type your prompt into the pop-up box & select ‘Create’

  5. If desired, tweak the new prompt (NOTE: Edit the prompt directly instead of using the ‘Enter user message’ bar, which costs money)

  6. Copy & paste the prompt into your desired LLM

BONUS!

While you’re in Playground, you can also experiment with:

  • Various OpenAI models: Select a model (e.g., gpt-4o or gpt-3.5-turbo) from the dropdown in the top left (NOTE: Some models may cost money to use)

  • Prompt Creativity Level: Adjust the temperature slider in the right-hand sidebar

  • Creating custom AI assistants: Select ‘Assistants’ in the left sidebar

P.S. OpenAI’s prompt generator is free right now… but it might not be forever. So try it out ASAP!
