AI PromptsWhere to start
- Never used an assistant much: how to write a good prompt, then common prompt mistakes.
- Using the prompts on this site: how to adapt a ready prompt.
- Answers are not quite right: follow-up prompts.
- About to rely on an answer: how to check an AI answer.
- Pasting documents or details: what not to type into an AI assistant.
- A student, a parent or a teacher: using AI for study honestly.
What you will not find here
There are no secret tricks, no lists of magic words and no claims that a prompt can make an assistant reliable. The guides describe plain habits: say what you want, give the facts, name the reader, set a length, state the limits, and check the result.
We also do not describe the menus, settings, prices or abilities of any particular AI product. Those differ between products and change often, and the company's own pages are the place for them. Everything here applies to any assistant.
Two things to remember from all the guides
First, an assistant writes confident text whether or not it is correct. Whatever matters must be checked against a source outside the assistant.
Second, what you type goes to the company that runs the assistant. Leave out passwords, identity and bank numbers and other people's private details. The prompts on this site are written so that you never need to include them.
This is an independent site. It is not connected with any company that makes AI assistants. The prompts are plain text and can be used in any AI chat assistant. An AI assistant can give wrong or made-up answers: check anything important before you rely on it, and do not paste private details into a prompt.
