Use AI to have fun and create
Not everything has to be productive. AI is a wonderful playmate for stories, poems, game nights and new hobbies.
1. What a prompt is
A prompt is just the message you type to an AI like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. You write it in everyday words, the way you would text a helpful friend. The clearer your message, the better the answer.
2. The 3-part prompt recipe
- The job: What you want done, in one sentence.
- The details: Who it is for, what you already know, and anything to avoid.
- The shape: How the answer should look: length, tone, or format like bullets or a table.
Here is the recipe in action:
- The job
- Write a short bedtime story.
- The details
- For my 6 year old, who loves dinosaurs and is a little scared of the dark.
- The shape
- About 300 words, gentle and funny, ending with the dinosaur feeling brave.
Put together, you would paste this:
Write a short bedtime story. For my 6 year old, who loves dinosaurs and is a little scared of the dark. About 300 words, gentle and funny, ending with the dinosaur feeling brave.
Then just reply to make it better, like "shorter" or "friendlier". The AI remembers the conversation.
3. One common mistake
Stopping at the first answer.
Creative prompts get better when you play. Reply with "make it sillier", "add a twist" or "try it again as a rhyme".
