ChatGPT Cheat Sheet

When I’m stuck I have turned to ChatGPT to help me out. I’ll paste my text and ask it to rewrite it to sound more fun or create a catchy hook, but sometimes it takes a few tries to get it just right. Then I stumbled upon Prompt Frameworks. These are guidelines to help you structure your AI prompts ensuring a more accurate response that is aligned with your request. Another great feature that you'll see at the end of the examples below, is the prompts guide AI to ask you more relevant questions after its response in order to help you dive further into your project.
