ChatGPT Tip: Ask ChatGPT To Interview You First
Useful when your request is vague and you need ChatGPT to gather missing requirements.
Useful when your request is vague and you need ChatGPT to gather missing requirements.
Best way to use it:
• Tell ChatGPT not to solve yet.
• Ask for the minimum set of clarifying questions.
• Answer those questions, then request the final output.
Copy-ready prompt:
Before solving this, ask me up to 7 questions that would materially improve the result. Do not produce the final answer until I respond.
Quality check:
• Questions are specific.
• Questions affect the final result.
• The final answer uses your answers.
DropTicks note:
Use ChatGPT like a workstation, not a magic answer box. Give it the role, goal, input material, constraints, expected output format, and review criteria. The stronger your workflow, the better the result.
