6 prompting tips (from Google)
Level up instantly
Hi!
Here’s how to immediately level up your prompt writing with advice straight from Google’s Gemini team.
1. Break it up
If you want Gemini for Workspace to perform several related tasks, break them into separate prompts.
2. Give constraints
To generate specific results, include details in your prompt such as character count limits or the number of options you’d like to generate.
3. Assign a role
To encourage creativity, assign a role. You can do this by starting your prompt with language like: “You are the head of a creative department for a leading advertising agency …”

4. Ask for feedback
In your conversation with Gemini tell it that you’re giving it a project, include all the details you have and everything you know, and then describe the output you want. Continue the conversation by asking questions like, “What questions do you have for me that would help you provide the best output?”
5. Consider tone
Tailor your prompts to suit your intended audience and desired tone of the content. Ask for a specific tone such as formal, informal, technical, creative, or casual in the output.
6. Say it another way
Fine-tune your prompts if the results don’t meet your expectations or if you believe there’s room for improvement. An iterative process of review and refinement often yields better results.
OK, speak soon!
