GenAI Prompting

A prompt is how human end users communicate with genAI. Prompting may be conducted using voice, text, images, and reference documents. It may also be conducted using verbal and visual modes involving two-way verbal interactions and AI camera access. Regardless of the mode used, remember that a prompt is one important way for humans to maintain agency in the process of using genAI applications. It is the way humans can direct the tools to provide output that serves human purposes.

When you direct a genAI model to analyze data and reports or to create a document, message, or image, you are engaging in an opportunity to have control over the kind of information included in the output. To exercise this control, you must apply your critical thinking, planning, and analytical skills because the more specific the prompt, the better you will be able to direct the model to deliver the output that serves your purpose. Remember that you are accountable for any genAI output that you use in your communications. For this and many other reasons, it is important to know how to prompt the model and how to analyze its output. For more on this imperative, see Miao and Holmes (2023).

This chapter will cover prompting strategies. To get started, view this video by Ethan Mollick and Lilach Mollick (2023) of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, which covers GenAI prompting basics.

Prompting Modes

Prompt crafting is the process by which you create statements or questions that direct a genAI model to respond in a way that serves your purpose. A prompt is the statement or question that may or may not be accompanied by an image, reference text, or a data set that serves as the knowledge source so the model can respond using information that pertains to your context.

Though prompt crafting is similar to prompt engineering, prompt crafting is the activity in which most end users engage; whereas, prompt engineering is mostly performed by those with the technical skills to refine the model’s ability to process prompts or by those with advanced prompting skills who want to tighten or limit the model’s mode of response. Ramlochan (2024) mentions that prompt engineering is conducted by those with specialized encoding skills. Unfortunately, as of this writing, many who communicate on the topic of prompting do not differentiate between the two terms.

How you go about the process of prompting is up to you: You may choose to elicit an output all at once with one prompt, or you may choose to break up the prompting task into phases, proceeding in a step-by-step manner. You may also choose to create a prompt that directs the application itself to proceed using a phased approach. We can categorize prompting into three types:

• Casual
• Conversational
• Structured

With casual prompting, you can simply ask a question or give a command. This is the easiest form of prompting using a one-sentence format. You can also elicit an output using conversational prompts in which you engage in a back-and-forth type of conversation or using a question and answer approach in order to refine the output.  Structured prompts may consist of several paragraphs and examples created to specifically direct the application to create a more narrow and purpose-driven output that addresses an identified problem.

With verbal and audio functions, your interactions with genAI models and applications can very much resemble the kind of conversation you would have with any person.  When you use voice, the genAI application will respond to you using both voice and text. For example, OpenAI’s GPT 4o (o for “omni”) can engage with you in verbal interactions that simulate real life conversations in terms of cadence, tone, content, and pace. Paired with the camera access, the AI can also interact with the world around it as you communicate.

If you feel timid about prompting, you can choose to adapt prompts created by others. Some organizations will have their own prompt libraries where you will find prompts relevant to company goals and situations. You may also choose to ask the genAI tool to create the prompt for you by giving it some basic information. As you build confidence in prompting, though, you will notice that creating your own will result in output that is more aligned to your purpose and context thus saving you time in the long run.

Your preferred method(s) will develop over time, and with experience they will become adaptable to the context and purpose at hand. Whichever approach you choose, always consider the output as draft material that will require your thorough review before use in your communications.

See two examples of simple prompts below. The document for Example 2 has been created using an enterprise version of Copilot in Creative mode, which gives access to ChatGPT 4.

Note how the resulting draft output in the second example goes beyond what is requested (see the text highlighted in blue) by also including information about how to register for the car pooling program. In this particular example, the additional information is useful and would probably be included in the final copy. However, this added information is also an example of how the genAI model can include content that is not requested and that, without careful review, could send your document’s intent into a direction that may not work with your purpose. As such, this example illustrates the necessity for a careful review and edit of the output.

Prompt Elements

Various practitioners have developed strategies for creating prompts and with experience have identified the most effective methods for prompting. Ethan Mollick (November 2023) offers the best advice: “You can become a world expert in the application of AI to your domain by just using AI a lot until you figure out what it is good and bad at.” His best advice is to not complicate things. As an example, Mollick offers the following prompt: “I need to write an email to a teacher for an extension. help” (November 2023). It can be that simple. Most prompts created for technical purposes, however, will require specific and concrete information, as in the following example:

Draft a message requesting all technicians to comply with the new X0986 standard operating procedure (SOP) relating to power line inspections. (The new SOP would be uploaded to the genAI tool as a reference text followed by the prompt.)

Whatever approach you use, adopting skillful and thoughtful methods that are adapted to changing contexts, purposes, technologies, and challenges will save you time and result in usable outputs. Completing a careful problem analysis including your purpose, audience, and context, as discussed in the chapter on Choosing and Using GenAI, is the first step in effectively creating your prompting strategy. Eventually, with experience and experimentation, you will find a strategy that works best for you and your routine needs.

Essentially, prompts will contain any, all, or a combination of the following genAI cues (OpenAI, n.d.); selecting information to include in prompts should be governed by your organization’s privacy and confidentiality policy along with your purpose and audience needs. Whatever you do, be flexible and modify your prompting as the process unfolds. You are not going for the perfect prompt; rather, you just want the one or the sequence that works.

1. 1. Role: Roles can be delineated in two ways depending on the genAI model you are working with. You can give the model a role (“You are an environmental sciences technician working for a small engineering office”; “You are a tutor specializing in the subject of coding”), or you can identify your role (“I am a surveyor working with a civil engineering company”). Note that no actual company identifiers are included; this is to align with the need to maintain confidentiality especially if you are not using an enterprise version of the genAI model. Identifying your role or attributing one to the genAI itself will help the application understand the range of responsibilities and knowledge from which it can draw for its response and how it will interact with you.
   2. Context: Context can be addressed in several ways: you may want to do any of the following, whatever the context calls for:
      • • Explain the overall situation or circumstance that is creating the need for the prompt.
        • Describe the type of industry, department, client, institution, etc.
        • Describe the communication strategy. For example, are you creating a technical description, a set of instructions, or meeting collateral?
        • Explain a complication, challenge, opportunity, etc.

Again, for confidentiality reasons, while being specific avoid identifying actual people, companies, and places.

3. Purpose or goal: Clearly state the goal you want to achieve in terms of any one or a combination of the following types:

• • • Desired output: State what you want the genAI application to produce for you in terms of  document type or content. Do you want the model to create a draft table or chart, or a draft email message, proposal, or other document? Do you want it to draft content for a presentation?
    • Communication intent: Describe your communication objective: Do you want to persuade, direct, or inform? Do you want to request time away from the office to catch up on a backlog of work? Do you need to persuade a client about the lack of safety of their building’s structure? Are you informing employees about an update to a standard operating procedure?

4. Information required: Include key information that will enable the genAI model to further narrow its activity. Be specific. Include relevant data. If necessary include information about the organization’s sustainability, inclusion, and other policies. Consider uploading a reference document or case study from which the model can cull information (Mascellino, 2023), or if working within the Microsoft Copilot enterprise environment, allow the system to access relevant reference documents–if access is available. You want to provide enough information to ensure that the model will create output that aligns with your needs.

5. Example: You can also include examples for what you are looking for in terms of output. If you already have a sample SOP that needs updating, for example, you can upload the sample document (again only if the organization’s confidentiality policy allows) and ask the GenAI application to revise it given more current information you provide.

6. Steps:  You can direct the model on how to proceed:

• • • You can break up your prompt into a set of steps and insert prompt segments sequentially following model responses.
    • You can instruct the genAI application itself to respond in a step-by-step manner so the information is organized and sequential.
    • You can instruct the application to work in a phased manner such that certain information is released before other information (Mollick & Mollick, September 2023; Mollick, November 2023)

Conversational Prompts

With the evolution of the technology, it’s becoming easier to elicit output from the applications. “For most people, you can just talk to the AI to ask for what you want. You can even talk to the AI if you don’t know what you want – just tell it what you might need and see what happens” (Mollick, November 2023). This has become more true than ever with the release of GPT-4o, which has verbal capabilities. Output is refined through a process comparable to human conversation whereby you follow up to correct or change the focus or information, add details, narrow the context and purpose, etc.  You can simply and informally just tell the application what you want, or you can plan your prompt using the elements discussed above. Whichever method you use, it’s best to keep at it until the application responds with output that satisfies your needs. You can then edit the output to reflect your voice and ensure accuracy. Keeping a watchful eye on the output activity will help you save time: You can stop the activity if you see that the application is off topic.

More complex conversational prompts take the process a step further by combining any or all the various prompt elements (role, context, purpose, information, steps, and example) to quickly and conversationally narrow the focus of the output (Mollick, November 2023; Ramlochan, 2024). The example below shows how the user establishes the role, context, and purpose then combines key necessary information to make for a more specific prompt.

You are a summer camp director and are tasked with writing a job notice for camp counsellors for an activities camp that operates from July to August on a university campus. The job notice must include a camp description, list of responsibilities, and a list of qualifications. The summer camp will operate from July 1 to August 31. Training will occur on June 15. A current Canadian First Aid certificate is required along with a police check. Hourly rate: $17. Please draft the job notice.

In this sample prompt, the writer is assigning the genAI application a role (summer camp director), provides the context (summer activities camp on a university campus that runs from July through August), purpose (job notice for camp counsellors), along with additional information (camp information, qualifications, and role responsibilities). The various prompt elements serve to narrow the focus of the genAI tool so that it can create an output that responds to your request. Sometimes the application will give you a workable draft the first time; at other times, you will have to continue to give direction and information until it gets it right.

Prompt Value

Consider prompting as a way for you to direct and have control over a machine with a vast knowledge base. The more information you provide to the tool through your prompt, the better it will narrow its focus and perform according to your expectations and requirements. So attending to prompt quality will in the long run save you time and effort. Consider, for example, this comparison of three prompts in Figure 2.5.1:

Any of these sample prompts can be workable depending on the purpose: document mapping, brainstorming, or focused drafting.  However, evidently the Low Value example is sparse in detail, and its use as a prompt will result in a pretty generic version of a proposal. The output will contain no content that would be specific to the user or context. The Mid-Value example would offer output on the topic of sustainability, but the model would be hard pressed to narrow the focus to one or two areas of sustainability and conform to the 5-page limit. Sustainability is a broad topic area and any useful proposal would have to be focused on a specific area. In the High Value example, the prompt is narrow and specific to a purpose, and directs the genAI application to produce output that will be more aligned to the context and the user’s goal.

Note: Prompting has become more convenient with ChatGPT’s “memory” capabilities (Open AI, 2024).  ChatGPT can remember details from previous conversations, including personal details.  This memory streamlines the prompting process by eliminating the repetition of conversational details from previous chats. If the model can carry over previously used information relating to context (overall company, situation, goals, for example) into current conversations, then the user can simply focus on the immediate situational prompt requirements. Users, however, are also able to direct the model to “forget” specified information or may turn off the memory capability in Settings.

Structured Prompts

More advanced users of genAI models who work in contexts where certain tasks have become routinized, standardized, and repeated may be interested in structured prompting. Mollick (November 2023), Cumming (2023), and Ramlochan (2023 and 2024) refer to structured prompts as those that can be used repeatedly to perform a task. Ramlochan (2024) describes such prompting as follows: “Structured prompting involves carefully programming instructions, examples, and constraints to make large language models handle challenging objectives predictably.”

Structured prompts can be used in contexts where users must complete the same tasks in the same way every time or when they must repeatedly create similar types of content for various purposes (Cumming, 2023). By using structured prompts, technical professionals and their organizations, scientists, and managers, to mention a few types of users, can maintain some consistency and order in the process of engaging with genAI models.

These types of prompts consist of tightly defined prompt elements as discussed above that can be shared with a group of people who will then use them as is or adapt them to their purpose before use in a genAI application, as can be done with a class of students or a group of employees in a team or at a meeting.

In organizational settings, structured prompts could be curated, then selected and adapted for specific contexts or audiences by various teams (Cumming, 2023). “For example, a marketing campaign prompt may execute sequential workflow steps of customer persona definition, targeted message crafting, channel identification, budget allocation, and results tracking – each a prompt subsection” (Ramlochan, 2024).

Take a look at an example of a structured prompt used in recruiting: Dan Shapiro’s Glowforge JD highly detailed job description prompt is shared with employees tasked with creating job advertisements for recruiting purposes. This context requires consistency for every job ad created: Each should have the same structure, style, and tone. When every recruiter or department head uses the same prompt, they produce a job description that aligns with the organization’s vision. The prompt can be adapted for specific jobs, as shown. The more detailed the prompt, the better and more consistent the output and the less time it will take for review and editing.

Structured prompting then can serve as a vehicle for organizing frequent, repetitive types of communications, such as marketing materials, notices, sales letters, proposals, product information, periodic reports—any type of routinized content that can be created then repurposed using standardized prompts. “For instance, if you decide to alter your brand’s voice or change a genre, you can simply update the corresponding prompt to reflect this change. All teams can then use this updated prompt, ensuring that the AI-generated content is always up-to-date and consistent across all platforms” (Cumming, 2023).

Though at this writing it’s early to predict how organizations will manage prompt libraries, Cumming suggests the possibility of an organized system of prompt operations to curate, share, adapt, and implement structured prompts in much the same way that other organizational content is managed. On the other hand, Acar (2023) suggests that as the models evolve and become more intuitive, we will need to worry less about prompting and focus more on problem formulation, “the ability to identify, analyze, and delineate problems” so as to better direct the model.

Using Delimiters

Delimiters are notations that users add to prompts to clearly delimit specific content like examples or reference text. Here is an example from OpenAI (n.d.):

Prompting for Tables and Graphs

One of the great benefits of using genAI in document preparation is the amount of time it can save as you analyze and prepare various elements for your documents including tables and graphs.

Analyzing content: GenAI can be used to analyze charts, graphs, and tables in the same manner that it can for images. Begin by uploading the visual aid you want analyzed, then create a prompt that directs the model on the exact type of information you want it to extract from the charts, graphs, or tables. In addition, you can upload a data set of any size using Advanced Data Analysis (formerly Code Interpreter) and direct the tool to analyze or extract data according to specific instructions. Again, the more precise your prompt, the more useful the output will be.

Creating tables: First, think through the data and table elements that you would like the application to include in the table, then create a specific prompt telling the genAI application exactly how you want that data to appear in your table. Here is an example using the following prompt:

Prompt: Create a table comparing Bing Chat, ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama 2, and Claude using these criteria: ease of use, accuracy, safety, and cost to run; include verifiable citations and a list of references in APA style. (Prompt Information: ChatGPT 3.5, free version, February 14, 2024)

Prompting for Image Creation

Several genAI models, such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, have become known for creating stand-out images that fall anywhere between total fantasy to complete realism. Initially, users had to have some specific knowledge related to photography in order to prompt for photo-realistic image outputs. However, these models, along with Copilot and ChatGPT—both of which access OpenAI’s DALL-E image generator—have evolved such that a user need only provide a detailed description using plain language for any image to be rendered.

Prompting strategies for image creation must include highly descriptive language if users want to direct the model towards producing images true to purpose. The descriptions should direct the model in any or a combination of the following areas—among so many others:

• Background and foreground
• Contextual signifiers (places, landmarks, time, seasons)
• Cultural imagery
• Degree of realism
• Diversity and inclusion
• Historical imagery (historical sites, monuments)
• People (roles, activity, relationships)
• Photographic qualities (realistic, painterly, cartoony)
• Social situations
• Sustainability cues
• Symbolism
• Technological contexts

Compare the following prompts and image examples:

Prompt 1: Create an image of a family of pink elephants out on a walk. (Copilot, February 14, 2024)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prompt 2: Now create a realistic image of a family of four pink elephants on a hike; they are exploring a mountainous area in October; in the background there are mountains, in the foreground there is a meadow, and trees all around. (Copilot, February 14, 2024)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, the more concrete and specific information you provide, the better the image will be. This version includes the requested elements of the landscape and season indicators. Now consider a situation in which the representation of diversity is key in promoting inclusivity and opportunity for all in workplace settings:

Prompt 3: Create an image of three legal professionals consulting about a case. (Copilot, February 14, 2024)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The four images created by the model depicted men and one woman in the image, suggesting that legal professionals are a group comprised mostly of men. In the image shown here, diversity has somewhat been represented. Note the extra (seventh) hand on the shoulder. GenAI is known to have difficulties representing hands; take this as one example of how vigilance in image review is necessary. Let’s push the model to depict more inclusion:

Prompt 4: Create a realistic image of legal professionals representing various racial, disabled, and gendered groups. The professionals should be consulting with each other on a case in a legal office that is modestly appointed and well lit. The image must be realistic. (Copilot, February 14, 2024)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though this sample image gets the diversity and inclusivity right, it could include more lighting. And though realism is requested twice, the model was not able to produce a more realistic image. While this example is enough to illustrate the power of prompting that is descriptive and specific, it also emphasizes the importance of prompting specifically for diversity and inclusion if you want it represented in the imagery you incorporate into your documents.

Tips for Prompting Efficiently

The following tips will help you keep on track as you develop your prompting skills (adapted from Durham College, 2023):

• Be Specific: If you ask a vague question, you may get a vague answer. The more details you provide, the better the response the model will be able to provide.
• State Your Intent: If there’s a specific purpose for your question, state it in the prompt.
• Direct the Output Format: If you want the answer in a specific format, state it in your prompt. Do you want a table or an image? A paragraph? A step-by-step process?
• Ask Follow-Up Questions: If the response wasn’t what you expected, or if you need more information, ask follow-up questions to clarify and get to what you need.
• Experiment with Different Phrasings: If you’re not getting the response you want, try asking the question in a different way. The model might understand one phrasing better than another.
• Prompt for Diversity and Inclusion: Ensure that the text and image outputs reflect the diversity of our society and promote inclusion.

What to Watch For

Prompting is only one step in the process of obtaining usable content. Remember that you are accountable for the accuracies and inaccuracies, the biases, and the citations of the genAI output you include in your documents. Once you have draft output to work with, routinely go through the content to avoid these issues:

• Biases:  Ensuring that your documents and images are inclusive of all groups entails a careful screening of genAI output for racial, sexual, age-related, religious, and socioeconomic biases. These biases perpetuate inequities in society and in organizations, which you would want to avoid doing. These inequities affect how people relate to each other as well as how they can do their jobs, their opportunities and remuneration. Your goal should be to ensure that these inequities are not perpetuated. Images in particular display a lack of diversity. When creating your prompt, be sure to specify that any people represented in the images represent diverse groups.
• Disengagement or “falling asleep at the wheel”: Dell’Aqua (n.d.) has discovered through research that many employees tend to simply use genAI output as is, without taking the time to check the contents. While genAI outputs are continuously improving in quality, the times when inaccuracies, hallucinations, biases, and unsupported claims can appear are substantial enough to significantly damage a company’s reputation and an employee’s career if the output is used without careful review. Always become engaged with the output to maintain your agency in the process of content creation.
• Errant symbolic references: Images will contain elements with  symbolic meaning that will influence how a person reacts to the image and to your overall message. Think for example, how the color red embodies different meanings for various groups and occasions. Being sensitive to what the image can represent to your audience can help you keep a tight focus on your messaging. Especially when using images to support information in your documents, ensure that all the imagery aligns with your purpose and contains no elements that could potentially cause offense. Checking images requires scrutiny.
• Inaccuracies or hallucinations:  Although each successive versions of the genAI models show some improvement in accuracy with fewer outright hallucinated or fake (obviously made-up) information, the output must be checked for accuracy. You want to ensure that the genAI content you use aligns with your specific purpose and contains verifiable facts and information for which you can otherwise ascertain as being accurate..
• Privacy violation: Check the output for content that can compromise privacy. Enterprise versions of genAI applications are set up to protect the privacy of the users. However, if you are using free versions of non-enterprise genAI models, private information that had been used to either train the model or as input in chats can reappear in output. Ensure that the information in the output does not contain private personal, medical, financial or other such information. Also do not include personal or private information in your prompts.
• Sandbagging: Sometimes genAI models will perform beyond your expectations; at other times the output will be underwhelming. Depending on which genAI model you use, the model may respond only to the limits established by the knowledge you exhibit in your prompt, and no further. So while many think that genAI will automatically augment knowledge generation capabilities watch for output that will only match your ability and knowledge and not more. This potential response on the part of the genAI model emphasizes the need for users to not only create specific prompts, but also to follow up on output that is less than satisfactory with a request that the model stretch the limits of the current output. Use your critical thinking skills to not only analyze the output but to also refine prompts to obtain correct, narrow, and specific output that meets your purpose at the degree of expertise that is required. And if the model you are using does not perform as expected, choose a different one. For more information on sandbagging, see Section C in Perez et al. (2022).
• Unsupported claims: As a general rule, do not use genAI models for research unless they are made specifically for that purpose, such as Perplexity, Elicit, Consensus, ResearchRabbit, and other such models. ChatGPT, for example, is great for ideation (e.g., “list some topic areas in the field of sustainable heating and cooling”), but it is not a research engine and often responds with output that contains unreliable information. GenAI output obtained from chat models will often contain claims that are not supported with sources or that are not relevant. Copilot sometimes copies from internet sources as well, so beware of using plagiarized content! Always ensure that claims are supported with verifiable sources by doing the research. Also ensure that the claims are not taken out of context: They must be true to the intent of the original document from which they originated.
