Are you tired of chatbots and virtual Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools that give you monotonous and overly dramatic sentences? Maybe you’re just not using it right. 

Google has a generative AI tool called Gemini that can assist users in generalizing and seamlessly understanding topics. It combines different types of information, including text, code, audio, image and video.

The AI tool can also help organize your work and life or jumpstart the creative process for any project you’re working on. This AI tool can give you the best possible work you can do every time, but this will only be possible if you give Gemini strong, clear and specific prompts to specifically cater to your needs. 

Next time you’re using Gemini to brainstorm and come up with new ideas, here are some tips in composing the right prompts:

Set the tone

One has to make sure that the tool defines its desired role or persona to yield specific and efficient results.

Users can ask Gemini to act as a social media campaign manager if there is a need to plan a social media campaign. The campaign’s goals must be specified in the prompt. A particular tone and role will allow the tool to generate ideas and suggestions for your needs and objectives. 

Be specific and keep it simple

Imagine the generative tool as if you’re still speaking to a friend or a coworker. You must be specific, clear and concise with one intention in mind. Avoid using acronyms or jargon that Gemini might not immediately understand. 

You should also provide all the information the AI tool can utilize to receive the most thorough output possible. If you want to come up with a creative output, you can give a quick background of your company, brand, including your desired agenda, target audience and the results you want to achieve.

Make it a conversation 

While it is inevitable that Gemini will not always give the correct and exact answers you’re looking for. Remember that you can for the answers to be revised. It also helps if you talk to it a conversational manner.

If a task is too complicated, users can break them down into smaller and simpler tasks. The AI can keep up.

Lock it in

If you liked Gemini’s answers, you can pin meaningful conversations to keep them easily accessible. Whether you need to reference past suggestions, revisit key decisions, or maintain continuity, pinning ensures your most valuable chats are just a click away.

Google’s generative AI tool can quickly boost one’s creativity and productivity and may even find new ideas.

Now that you’re set, use these tips for your next Gemini session, and it will definitely be better.
