In Google's keynote conference, the company highlighted how user behavior is evolving when interacting with AI, noting that queries have become more complex and detailed. This shift is quite logical; in the 1990s, users had to learn how to phrase questions that search engines could understand. Today, we're entering a new phase where AI must understand our questions.

While this marks a major change, it's a natural progression. When we talk to friends, we don’t just use keywords—we share thoughts, emotions, and context. That’s exactly what makes human conversations smooth and comprehensible. For this reason, if you're still new to using AI, it’s helpful to learn some effective prompting techniques—especially those that enhance your experience with tools like ChatGPT.
Unlike traditional search engines, ChatGPT performs better when provided with clear context, specific examples, and a desired tone or style. A simple question may not yield the best answer. To get the most out of it, here are four practical tips from experts:
1. Role Prompting
ChatGPT responds well to role-based prompting. It might seem unusual at first, but it’s one of the most impactful ways to improve response quality. For example, saying “Explain this as if I’m 12 years old” will result in a simpler explanation. Or, say “Act like a university professor with 30 years of experience in sociology,” and you’ll get a deeper, more analytical answer.
2. Provide Examples
When asking for written content, text summarization, or email responses, clear examples help ChatGPT better understand your style and requirements. If you want a message that reflects your personal voice, share samples of your previous writing. The more examples you provide, the better the output.
3. Define the Tone
It’s important to clarify how you want the response to sound. Should it be formal? Friendly? Humorous? For example, if you’re learning a new language, you might prefer a playful, example-rich teaching tone. If you want concise, data-driven answers, ask for a direct and serious tone. Use descriptors like sarcastic, witty, dramatic, etc.
4. Encourage Logical Reasoning
For complex or multi-step questions, it helps to ask ChatGPT to explain its reasoning. This is especially useful in solving math problems or logic puzzles. You can simply say, “Walk me through the steps you used to reach this answer,” which helps you understand the logic and spot any potential flaws.
These techniques can elevate your AI experience to a new level. If you’re not getting the answers you’re hoping for, these methods can unlock the full potential of AI-powered conversations. (Agencies)
