                      PROMPTS FOR COMMON USE






                                                     CASES





                Whether  you’re  a  content  creator,  a  developer,  or  an  all-

                rounded  knowledge  worker,  text  prompts  can  help  you
                generate ideas, streamline your workflow, and improve the
                overall quality of your work. In this chapter, we will explore
                some  common  cases  where  text  prompts  can  be  used  to
                enhance  or  replace  manual  tasks,  including  fiction  writing,

                coding, summarizing text, and more.
                Keep in mind that several of the sample prompts provided

                in  this  book  are  context-specific,  which  means  that  you
                need  to  provide  ChatGPT  with  source  text  or  examples  in
                order for these prompts to be effective.

                Calculate


                Unlike traditional calculators or spreadsheet cells that force
                you  to  clean  up  data  before  formulas  can  be  applied,  you
                can  conveniently  drop  text  into  ChatGPT  and  ask  it  to
                perform  various  calculations.  For  instance,  you  can  copy
                and  paste  in  a  table  of  last  month’s  credit  card  expenses

                and tell ChatGPT to convert all the expenses from Euro into
                USD by using the conversion rate of say 1.10 and then sum
                your  total  expenses  in  USD.  (Note  that  ChatGPT  won’t  be

                aware  of  the  current  exchange  rate).  This  saves  you  time
                formatting  the  data  and  also  allows  you  to  ask  questions
