🎭 MODES & ROLES

Assigning a "role" to AI helps refine the response based on context. Example:

🔹 Intern: "Find research on the latest trends in solar energy adoption."
🔹 Idea Generator: "Generate 10 creative marketing campaign ideas for an organic food brand."
🔹 Editor: "Proofread and improve this blog post for clarity, engagement, and SEO optimization."
🔹 Teacher: "Explain the fundamentals of cryptocurrency in a way a 12-year-old can understand."
🔹 Critic: "Analyze my business pitch and provide feedback on areas of improvement."

📑 FORMATS AI CAN GENERATE

AI can structure content in various ways:

📌 Text-Based Formats:
✔ Essays – "Write a 1000-word essay on climate change solutions."
✔ Blogs – "Create an SEO-optimized blog post about the impact of AI on education."
✔ Emails – "Write a persuasive cold email for lead generation in real estate."
✔ Bullet Points – "Summarize the key takeaways from Warren Buffett’s annual letter."

📌 Media & Presentation Formats:
✔ Social Media Posts – "Generate 5 LinkedIn posts about financial independence."
✔ Tweet Threads – "Create a viral Twitter thread about why gold is an inflation hedge."
✔ Slide Decks – "Turn this blog into a 5-slide PowerPoint presentation."

📌 Coding & Technical Formats:
✔ Code Snippets – "Generate a Python script for scraping stock prices."
✔ UI/UX Design Specs – "Write design guidelines for a mobile finance app UI."
✔ Research Summaries – "Summarize this 20-page research paper on quantum computing."

🎭 TONES AI CAN USE

Choosing the right tone is key to engagement and readability.

🔹 Professional: Used for business, reports, and corporate communication.
👉 Example: "Provide a detailed industry analysis on India’s semiconductor market."

🔹 Persuasive: Ideal for sales and marketing content.
👉 Example: "Write a persuasive LinkedIn post on why EV stocks are the future."

🔹 Confident: Strong and authoritative tone for expert opinions.
👉 Example: "Debunk the myth that crypto is a bubble with strong data."

🔹 Humorous: Adds personality and relatability to content.
👉 Example: "Write a funny Twitter thread on why Mondays should be illegal."

🔹 Formal vs. Informal:
✔ Formal: “Explain the economic impact of recessionary trends in 2025.”
✔ Informal: “How does AI actually make money? Explain like I’m 5.”

📌 HOW TO BUILD A CHAIN PROMPT (EXAMPLE)

You can refine AI outputs by modifying them step-by-step. Example:

1️ Initial Prompt: “Summarize this document in 200 words.”
2️ Modify Output: “Expand the summary into a 500-word blog post explaining it to beginners.”
3️ Change Tone: “Rewrite the blog post in a persuasive and engaging tone.”
4️ Modify Format: “Convert this content into a 10-slide presentation.”

This method improves AI output quality progressively.
