Here’s a list of recommendations from our team that will help you create your perfect prompt:
1. Request to Ignore All the Previous Instructions
ChatGPT might keep previous discussion “in mind” when replying to you, so it is a good idea to Clear its cache each time you run any prompt. For that you can add the following text to each of your prompts:
“
Please ignore all the previous instructions.
”
If you want to keep the context, do not use the above recommendation in your prompt.
2. Specify a Language for the Response
In most cases ChatGPT will reply you using the language that you’re using to write the prompt, but it is better to specify the language of the response to make sure it is used correctly. It is especially important for the prompts that are used for translation. Here’s an example of how you can specify the language of your response.
“
Please respond in the English language only.
”
3. Specify Who is Writing This Text and Who Will be Reading This Text
Make sure you’re indicating who is writing the text. If you use words like professional copywriter or translator, it will make your generated texts more accurate.
“
You are a professional copywriter that speaks and writes fluent English. You are an expert in content creation and can write texts in fluent English.
”
4. Make Sure the Text is Easy to Read and Understand
Also add phrases like: “The text should be easy to read and understand.” It will help make the text more specific, clear and easy to read. Also it might be helpful to ask to avoid complicated language and/or jargon
“
Product descriptions should be easy to read and understand. It should be at least 500 words, no duplicates, use handy expressions. Avoid jargon and complicated language.
”
5. Add Technical Details and Structure of the Generated Text Like Length, Lists, Subheadings, etc.
Specify if the text should be long, short or contain up to a specific number of worlds or characters. For example meta description has a limitations of 160 characters long, so an example of the prompt would be:
“
The meta description should be an engaging and maximum of 160 characters long
”
For product description, it can be something like:
“
It should be at least 500 words, no duplicates, use handy expressions.
”
Also specify if you need any subheadings, if you need any lists or any other technical details about your text. For example, adding a catchy headline that will include for example product name might help your SEO.
Finally, make sure that ChatGPT do not include any information that the text is generated by ChatGPT or duplicates your Prompt in the response. This way you will get less duplicates and avoid technical text from Chat GPT explaining his actions.
“
Do not repeat yourself. Do not self reference. Do not explain what you are doing.
”
6. Specify if You Would Like a Response in Plain Text or HTML
For some fields it is a good idea to use HTML. In this case you should include in your prompt:
“
Add basic html tags for lists, titles, and paragraphs to the whole description including the first title. The first title should be H2, do not use the H1 html tag.
”
7. Make Sure to Include Shopify Fields That You Would Like to be Used
For example you can create an engaging product description based on product name, features, and attributes. Make sure to include all fields using Macros. You can find the list of macros when creating a prompt. Here’s our sample for this specific case:
“
Generate a product name based on product brand “[PRODUCT.VENDOR]”, product model “[PRODUCT.HANDLE]”. In your response, provide a product name only.
”
8. Add Specific Information That Would Fit Your Specific Case
For example for product description it is good to include prompt details like:
“
Also use power words like Amazing, Instant, Exclusive. Add a catchy headline for features and benefits and add product name “[PRODUCT.TITLE]” to the headline. Highlight benefits and explain the advanced features of the “[PRODUCT.TITLE]” in everyday language that a novice would understand. Generate a compelling section of the description that communicates the limited availability and high demand of the product.
