Create the perfect prompt for Google Bard

The quality of the input prompt, or "Prompt," is crucial for the quality of the response you receive. In this tutorial, I will show you how to transition from a bad to a good Prompt in Google Bard. An effective Prompt provides the system with enough information to deliver specific and helpful responses. Let's go through the steps together to explore the full potential of Google Bard.

Key Takeaways

• A bad Prompt provides too little context, leading to general and inadequate responses.
• A good Prompt contains specific information that allows the AI to provide targeted and helpful advice.
• To achieve better results, you must specify the context, your goals, and your personal situation.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Identify a Bad Prompt

The first step is to understand what makes a bad Prompt. An example mentioned in the video is: "How should I invest my money?" This is a bad Prompt because it lacks specific information. Consequently, Bard struggles to provide a meaningful answer.

A bad Prompt fails to provide the AI with context about your income, assets, or previous investments. Due to the lack of depth, the response remains general and uninformative.

Step 2: Formulate a Better Prompt

To improve the quality of your responses, you should enrich your Prompt with more context. An example from the tutorial is: "I want to build a house in 5 years and want to save money until then. How should I invest it?" In this example, you provide Bard with a clear timeframe and a specific goal.

Thanks to this additional information, the AI can already deliver more specific answers. You will receive useful tips, such as the need to start early or have a balanced portfolio.

Step 3: Develop a Comprehensive Prompt

The next step to further enhance your inputs is to expand the information in your Prompt. A better Prompt could look like this: "I am a man who earns 2500 €, of which 1000 € are my fixed costs, so I can save 700 € per month. My current capital is 10,000 €, and I want to build a house in 5 years."

This Prompt provides Bard with a wealth of context. It becomes clear how much you earn, how much you can save, and what your current assets are. These details allow the AI to provide precise and helpful advice.

Step 4: Analyze the Responses

After entering your comprehensive Prompt, it is important to analyze the responses received. Bard's recommendations can now show you how to increase your income or reduce expenses.

For example, Bard could suggest automating your savings rate, investing your saved money, or setting a specific goal for your savings.

Step 5: Further Refine Your Prompt

To further optimize the quality of your results, you should be able to refine your Prompts. Correcting inputs can occur over time as you develop a better understanding of your goals and the required information.

Each time you add a new goal or piece of information, you will notice that the quality of the responses continues to improve. Google Bard will respond and help you achieve even more specific results.

Summary

We have seen how important it is to use well-thought-out Prompts in Google Bard. A bad Prompt does not provide enough information, while a good Prompt gives the AI the necessary details to provide helpful responses. The steps from identifying a bad Prompt to creating a fully informative Prompt will help you make the most of AI.
