Prompting Parameters

Ok. So prompting techniques shape your input.

Parameters are the dials and knobs that shape your output.

They’re instructions that you give to the model to tell it how to behave. Or how to deliver results. Or how to think.

Here are a few powerful ones:

Format: Tell it what structure you want.
Example: “List the pros and cons in a table.”

Tone: Tell it how you want it to behave / sound.
Example: “Respond in a friendly & confident tone.”

Length: Ask for short, medium, or detailed responses.
Example: “Keep it under 100 words.”

Clarity: Ask for plain language, or a specific reading level.
Example: “Explain it like I’m in 8th grade.""

These small tweaks can completely change the output. They help the AI sound more like you- or what your audience needs.
