Introduction
Let's face it. The first output from your chatbot is usually limp, bland and probably unworthy of use.
Everybody gets this same raw output when they ask simple questions with prompts.
Unless of course you are familiar with advanced, framework-led prompting models such as RATTSS.
This is true of first outputs across the board from chatbots: Strategy, Plans, Ideas, Content...
Does this mean that those who use basic prompts are doomed? Or is that the first output, regardless of your prompt, is just the starting point.
There are a few ways around this.
The remarkable bit is that you can make your first outputs more beautiful using a technique called layering. This is a prompt that's applied to the first output.
Layering is like garnishing.
Food when garnished looks and tastes awesome.
Garnishing works with chatbot outputs too.
Let's explore how you can do this:
Use whatever prompt to get the first, raw output from your chatbot. Don't make the mistake that newbies do of stopping there. Think of this as just the starting point.
Garnish the first output with another prompt to make more nuanced, creative, take on a different style, etc
By the end of this article, you will be able to transform raw outputs from chatbots into something truly unique by layering writing and creative techniques. This regardless of whether you use simple prompts, or more sophisticated ones.
Go on take it for a spin.
