Creating Good
Base Prompts

A good base prompt is the foundation of effective interaction on Folderr.
Here’s how to create one:
Be Clear and Specific- Clearly state what you want from the AI. Vague prompts lead to vague answers.
Example
- Instead of "Tell me about history," try "Give me a brief summary of the American Civil War."
Use Complete Sentences- Formulate your prompts as complete sentences to give the AI more context.
-  Example: "Can you explain the process of photosynthesis?

Context Matters
- Provide necessary context to help the AI understand your request better.
- Example: "In the context of machine learning, what is overfitting?"

Avoid Ambiguity
- Be as precise as possible to avoid multiple interpretations.
- "List the top five benefits of renewable energy sources."



Master Prompt Engineering
Prompt engineering is the art of crafting prompts to get the best responses from your AI. Here are some advanced techniques:

Iterative Refinement
- Start with a basic prompt and refine it based on the AI’s responses.
- Example: Begin with "Explain blockchain technology" and refine to "Explain how blockchain technology ensures security and transparency."

Use Constraints
- Direct the AI with specific constraints to narrow down the scope.
- Example: "Explain the benefits of blockchain technology in less than 100 words."

Chain of Thought
- Encourage the AI to think through a problem step-by-step.Example: "
- Describe the steps involved in solving a quadratic equation."
- Role Play: Assign roles to the AI to get more tailored responses.Example: "
- As a financial advisor, explain the benefits of investing in index funds."

Combining Prompts
- Use multiple prompts to guide the AI through complex queries.
- Example: "First, explain the basics of machine learning. Then, discuss its applications in healthcare."
