Advanced Use of Tools and Prompting (Higher Level)
🎯 Objective
Apply advanced prompting techniques (role-based, tone-based, iterative refinement, chaining) to solve a communication or workflow task using an AI tool like ChatGPT.
📝 Instructions
Step 1: Choose a Real or Simulated Task
Select a task you’ve done (or plan to do) this week that involves writing, summarizing, or generating content.
💡 Examples:
Writing a follow-up email after a client meeting
Summarizing a report or internal update
Drafting a LinkedIn post or newsletter intro
Organizing comments or feedback into themes
My task is:
→ ___________________________________________________________
Step 2: Write a Basic Prompt and Run It
Write a simple version of the prompt you would normally use. Then use a tool (ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, etc.) to test the output.
Basic prompt:
→ ___________________________________________________________
Tool used:
→ ______________________________
Step 3: Refine the Prompt Using Advanced Techniques
Now rewrite the prompt by applying at least two of these techniques:
✅ Use a role
✅ Set the tone or format
✅ Be more specific with context or audience
✅ Add instructions for output structure
Refined prompt:
→ ___________________________________________________________
Result summary (Was it better? Why?):
→ ___________________________________________________________
Step 4: Create a 3-Step Prompt Chain
Instead of asking for everything in one go, break your task into 3 clear steps (chained prompts). Use the output of each step as input for the next.

Step 5: Reflect on the Process
Answer the following:
What changed when you refined or chained your prompts?
→ ___________________________________________________
Did the final output improve in clarity, tone, or usefulness?
→ Yes / No / Somewhat – Explain: ____________________
Would you apply this approach in your day-to-day work? Why or why not?
