AI Prompt Engineering Checklist

1. Assign a ROLE. Assigning a role to the AI will make it adopt the behaviors of the role you give to it. Instead of shooting in the dark, talk with an AI expert copywriter, journalist, public speaking coach, Italian chef. 2. Give it a clear, descriptive, and precisely accurate task. Imagine you're talking with a super intelligent intern. It wants to help you but without clear directions, it doesn't know how to best deliver results. That's your job as the Brain CEO. Think first, prompt second. 3. Provide as much context as you can. Include everything in your prompt that you think will help it do a better job and produce output that will be useful to you. Example: a blog article for cat lovers, who eat vegan, love Depeche Mode and go out often. 4. Provide examples. "Show don't tell." Examples will help the AI (your super smart intern) visualize exactly what you mean. So feed it examples of the tasks you want it to achieve. 5. Create rules for the AI in your prompt. It has built-in creativity. It is a feature AND a hassle. Be smarter: if you're telling it what to do, tell it also what NOT to do. 6. Iterate. There is no 1 prompt to rule them all. It is a SKILL I'm teaching you today. It becomes better with practice. Experiment. Improve.
