Why Explore More Frameworks?
The last post sparked a lot of interest, and it’s clear that structured prompts help teams get faster, more relevant responses from AI tools. Having more frameworks means being equipped to tackle a wider range of tasks with greater efficiency. Let’s dive into these additional methods.
1. R-T-F (Role – Task – Format)
Role: Define the professional or persona involved.
Task: Clearly state the job to be done.
Format: Specify the output format.
Example: “You are a Customer Support Specialist. Create a troubleshooting guide for common login issues in a step-by-step list. Use data from support tickets, customer feedback, and internal knowledge bases to ensure the guide is comprehensive and relevant.”
2. T-A-G (Task – Action – Goal)
Task: Identify the primary objective.
Action: Outline the specific steps or actions to take.
Goal: Define the desired outcome.
Example: “Identify the top three reasons for project delays, outline corrective actions, and create a brief presentation to share with the team.”
3. B-A-B (Before – After – Bridge)
Before: Describe the current state or problem.
After: Define the desired state or outcome.
Bridge: Explain the steps to transition.
Example: “Our current CRM system struggles with lead tracking (Before). We aim to streamline the process for better lead attribution (After). Propose an integration plan with our marketing automation tool (Bridge).”
4. C-A-R-E (Context – After – Result – Example)
Context: Provide the background or scenario.
After: Describe the new state or improvement.
Result: Highlight the impact or benefit.
Example: Offer a real-life scenario.
Example: “Context: Customer complaints about delayed responses. After: Implement a chatbot for instant replies. Result: Reduced response times by 40%. Example: Similar setup at Company X improved customer satisfaction.”
5. R-I-S-E (Role – Input – Steps – Outcome)
Role: Specify who is acting.
Input: Provide data or context.
Steps: Outline the process.
Outcome: Define the result.
Example: “You are a Project Manager. Using the project timeline, list key milestones, define actions needed for completion, and summarize expected results.”
