Google’s NEW Prompting Guide is Incredible!

after analyzing millions of inputs Google discovered that the most successful prompts are 21 words long on average yet most of us are inputting fewer than nine words in chubbt and Google Gemini obviously as most guys will tell you length is not everything it's really about the effort so in this video I'm going to share the top five aimal tips from Google's latest guide to writing better prompts let's get started tip number one the power of three one of the least used features in chat GPT is the regenerate function similarly very few of us actively choose to show other drafts in Google Gemini even though seeing different options can actually inspire new ideas and directions we may not have initially considered it's not that surprising though we input a prompt and we expect the chatbot to give us what we're looking for who has a time to go through different variations to get the best of both worlds Google recommends asking for three variations in the initial prompt for example it could be something simple like generate three options for a new slogan emphasizing reliability Innovation and a long history of popularity for company or I'm a marketing manager at Spotify I need to AB Test new messaging here is our current messaging generate three different variations of AD copy this works for more complex prompts as well for example I'm writing an email to job candidates who just finished the interview process create an offer letter template for the selected candidate for the position with a request to schedule a call to discuss benefits compensation and start date give me three variations or draft three email templates to check in on my retail customer who just started to spend on Google ads use one value proposition cost ease of use security as the main topic for each email and let them know they can reach out to me with questions in this last example you might think the customer cares about cost when in reality they prioritize security and if you didn't ask for three different emails on three different topics you might have missed the opportunity to engage the client try this out for yourself it was a game changer for me and I basically have given me three variations saved in my text expander app drop a like if you found this tip helpful but feel free to click the dislike button twice if you didn't tip number two multi-step workflows one of the simplest prompting techniques is called Chain of Thought prompting basically when you break down a large task into smaller sequential prompts you actually get better results by reducing potential errors for example instead of asking Chach BT to generate an entire cover letter which will end up being super generic you ask it to First write the hook based on the job description then write the body paragraph based on the hook so on and so forth the way Google recommends we think about this is instead of trying to write one super long prompt to solve a super complex issue can we break the problem down into mini Milestones that can each be tackled by a separate prompt for example if your end goal is to create a presentation to secure additional budget for your project here are three mini milestones and their corresponding prompts step one Outline Three key benefits of my project for target audience and quantify the potential impact for target audience step two identify potential objections target audience may have and generate counterarguments to address them step three recommend a visual format charts graphs Etc to best present the financial data in a clear and impactful way I'll be very honest I used to be a one shot Wonder get it one shot prompting and onot drinking um but now whenever I catch myself trying to type an essay in CBT I try to think of ways to break it down into smaller bite-sized Pieces by the way I've included a link to Google's fold guide down below and if you use Google workspace at work you definitely want to grab my free workspace toolkit as well tip number three template timesavers the idea here is super simple first we ask chbt or Google Gemini to brainstorm template ideas based on our role and responsibility then we generate those templates diving right into an example I'm a project manager responsible for our next product launch event called Apple unfolded scheduled for September 30th I'm working with three teams the hardware team the software team and the retail team your task is to generate five ideas for communication templates I can create now that will save me time over the course of the project chbt then outputs five extremely specific ideas some of these I would not have thought of myself I think this bug report template could be very useful and then I follow up with draft a bug report template for the software team to use and chbt goes ahead and creates that for me as well some of you might have noticed this is also an example of a multi-step workflow we first asked chpt to brainstorm ideas then we expanded on one of those generated ideas another example might be I'm a product marketing manager on the Spotify ads team I've been assigned to mentor and on board a new hire with no marketing experience your task is is to brainstorm five templates I can use to streamline his onboarding process and then step two draft one of those templates what I like most about this tip is how it helps me overcome mental blocks by suggesting a variety of templates I wouldn't have thought of myself and usually at least one of these templates Pro to be super useful Pro tip if you already have access to an existing template you can improve upon it by providing additional relevant details for example I will share a job description template HR sent me suggest ways to update the job description based on my requirements and you input your requirements here's the job description and then you paste the job description oh I almost forgot I'll link all the prompts I go over in this video down below so you can try them out yourself moving on to tip number four top- down competitive analysis when conducting research we can think of the process like an upside down triangle where we start off with broad Concepts to understand the overall landscape and as we move down the funnel we use narrower prompts to uncover actionable insights for example we start off with something like provide a comprehensive overview of the current drone delivery industry including major players regulations and key market trends then I'm conducting a competitive landscape analysis on the drone delivery industry provide the strengths and weaknesses of the major players we just identified including their specific strategies tactics Target audiences and results now now that we have a high level overview let's get a little personal I'm product marketing manager in the wing division of alphabet identify actionable insights and recommendations for how my company can improve its approach and gain a competitive advantage and finally let's get super tactical brainstorm three Innovative marketing campaigns and corresponding messaging that lean into our strengths while attacking the weaknesses of our competitors list the strengths and weaknesses referenced for each message as you can see starting with broader prompts help both the chatbot and ourselves understand the topic at a very high level then by asking progressively more specific questions we guide the chatbot to give us the exact information we need Pro tip Google's not paying me to say this although they probably should but I found that Google Gemini is much better at summarizing web pages than chubbt when conducting research for example I throw in a few URLs one of which is a YouTube video on drone delivery and I use the prompt summarize these articles provide key insights and contextualize why these announcements are important and Gemini provides a very balanced summary that draws from all the links whereas chbt only pulled information from one of the five links that I shared speaking of Gemini though tip number five is only applicable for Google users and that's to use Google Docs to supercharge your PDFs right now there's no easy way for Gemini users to upload PDFs directly but if you upload a PDF onto Google Drive right click on the PDF to open with Google Docs you can actually bring up Gemini within Google Docs by typing at and help me write and then inserting your prompt here for example this is a McKenzie report on package delivery and I can prompt Gemini in Google Docs with summarize the key findings and implications of this report focus on the different strategies Chinese companies and Wester companies are employing when it comes to last mild delivery the output is actually pretty good and I can even take this a step further and click refine custom create a presentation outline with five slides each slide should have one headline and three supporting bullet points and Gemini for Google Docs gives me exactly that which is pretty cool unfortunately this help me write feature is only available for users on the Google one AI Premium plan but I guess that makes sense because you have also have to be on the PID chat upbt plan to upload PDFs onto chubbt if you if you enjoyed these tips you definitely want to check out how to use chbt to create amazing presentations see you on the next video in the meantime have a great one
