Prompt engineering has changed a lot recently. I remember around this time last year, strict prompt engineering rules were a must. From “You are a professional …” persona setting, to zero-shot, few-shot CoT techniques, these were necessary for quality outputs
Nowadays, it feels as if AI models do the engineering all by themselves without user input. They understand us well even if we’re just casually typing (some call it “lazy prompting”, and I even saw a product related to this on PH)
Since Dr. Andrew Ng says “lazy prompting” is a high level skill, I believe prompt engineering still matters.
Clearly conveying context remains crucial. How do you ensure your prompts include clear context?
Personally, I usually separate my [query], [context], and [references] clearly, and I’m meticulous with numbering.
I’d love to hear your solutions!
For those who haven't tried it yet — it's a new feature in GPT-4o that lets the chatbot proactively message you at scheduled times. Just type something like "Remind me to check my email tomorrow at 10 am," and it will set the reminder for you automatically. When the time comes, you'll get a push notification or an email with the message.
Examples I've successfully tested:
📌 Evening task status check:
Every evening at 9 pm, send me my weekly tasks and ask for a status update.
🚀 Weekly Product Hunt summaries:
Every Friday at 10 am, send summaries of the top 5 Product Hunt launches this week.
📈 Daily market summaries:
Every morning at 9 am, send me summaries of BTC, ETH, gold, and S&P500 prices with daily changes.
📚 Daily learning sessions:
Split "Prompt engineering" into 10 parts and send one part daily at 8:30 am with a practical exercise.
🗣 Daily vocabulary:
Every morning at 7:30 am, send 10 new C1-level English words with context examples.
✨ Morning affirmations:
Every morning at 7 am, send me this affirmation: {Your affirmation text}.
✏️ Content reminders:
Every Tuesday and Thursday at 11 am, remind me to tweet. Provide 5 draft ideas.
Currently tricky prompt but promising:
Daily metrics monitoring from external docs (Notion, Sheets).
What creative ways can you imagine using GPT Tasks?
