Do you have to rephrase the same request three times before getting something usable ? More often than not, the problem isn&#8217;t with the AI, but with your prompt, which directly determines the quality of your result. Knowing how to talk to AI is becoming a key skill in business.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>RICARE: the method that transforms your rough prompts into laser-like instructions<\/h2>\n<p>ADN IA has developed RICARE, a six-point method that enables you to formulate clear, precise, and effective requests.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>R as ROLE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Start there. Defining the role of AI means shining a spotlight on the area of expertise you want to draw on, among the hundreds of billions of parameters in its model. A prompt without a role is like asking someone for advice without knowing if they are familiar with the subject. Example:   <\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou are an expert in marketing and copywriting, capable of writing compelling communications.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>I as INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your instructions should be clear, concise, and affirmative (an action verb in the imperative). Example: \u201c<em>Write an analysis plan, summarize this text, improve this content, create a graph..<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Structured by separators (###Example 1###) if your instructions contain documents to be processed, examples to follow, templates to customize, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If the request is complex, divide it into several separate prompts, each handling one step of the task.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Not sure how to phrase your request, or worried you might forget something? Ask the AI some preliminary questions to help it build the optimal prompt itself.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>C as CONTEXT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It transforms a generic response into a tailor-made solution.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Provide concrete <strong>examples<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Specify the business context: \u201c<i>An SME in the public works sector<\/i>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Specify the expected characteristics, use cases, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Add <strong>restrictions <\/strong>if necessary: \u201c<em>answer within the framework of French law only.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A telling example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u274c Bad: \u201cDetermine the sentiment of this post [INSERT POST]\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u2705 Good: \u201cDetermine the sentiment of this post using these examples: \u2018great pen\u2019 \u2192 positive \/ \u2018I hate it when my battery dies\u2019 \u2192 negative [INSERT POST]\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>A as AUDIENCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Who will read or use this response? How should we address them? The AI needs to know this.  <\/p>\n<p><em>Explain quantum computing to me as if I were 10 years old. Use simple, educational language, examples, and illustrations.  <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Or even:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYour report is intended for members of the Executive Committee who are expecting strategic recommendations and a focus on growth opportunities. Use a precise style and a cordial but professional tone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Adapting the tone, style, and complexity to your audience ensures that your content will hit the mark.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>R as RESPONSE FORMAT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Be explicit about the expected format. AI cannot read your mind. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Format <\/strong>: table, bullet points, list, tweet, HTML code&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Length <\/strong>restrictions: less than 50 words, 10 points, 300 characters, 1 page&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Language and syntax:<\/strong> French, formatted text, markdown, JavaScript code, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>S\u00e9parateurs<\/strong> sp\u00e9cifiques : tags, points-virgules, colonnes&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The more specific you are, the more satisfied you will be with the answer.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>E as EVALUATION<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The perfect prompt doesn&#8217;t exist on the first try. Excellence comes from iteration. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Two key moments for evaluation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In your initial prompt, validate the AI&#8217;s <strong>understanding<\/strong>: \u201c<em>Do you understand? Feel free to ask me questions to clarify your mission and improve your response.\u201d<\/em> You will see that it can broaden your analysis through its questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feedback on the response<\/strong>: Give feedback, adjust, refine. Clicking on the thumbs-up icon means improving the model a little for next time. Giving feedback means iterating to improve the result.   <em>\u201cGreat! Add more examples like this, but in a less formal style. And be more concise.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Evaluation transforms a good result into an exceptional result.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>The difference between an amateur and an expert? The method. <\/h2>\n<p><strong>Because learning to prompt is like learning a new language.<\/strong> A language that opens the door to a powerful assistant, available 24\/7, capable of revolutionizing your productivity. And that requires mastery of the method and its practical application. <\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/adnia.net\/formation\/maitriser-chatgpt-ou-un-autre-llm-pour-mon-metier-avec-le-prompt-engineering-1\/\">Take action now<\/a> : join the ADN IA training<\/h2>\n<p>Want to move from the \u201cI&#8217;m trying\u201d level to the \u201cI&#8217;ve mastered it\u201d level?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adnia.net\/formation\/maitriser-chatgpt-ou-un-autre-llm-pour-mon-metier-avec-le-prompt-engineering-1\/\"><strong>The ADN IA training course in prompt engineering<\/strong><\/a> gives you the keys to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Structure your prompts like an expert from the very first attempt<\/li>\n<li>Unlock the full potential of generative AI in your business<\/li>\n<li>Save hours each week by automating intelligently<\/li>\n<li>Create AI workflows that deliver professional results<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>AI will not replace your expertise.<strong> But those who master AI will replace those who do not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ready to get a head start?\ud83d\udc49 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/adnia.net\/en\/training-consulting-ai-for-business\/training-artificial-intelligence-ai\/\">Discover the ADN IA training courses<\/a> and transform the way you work with artificial intelligence.<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you use an LLM such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude on a daily basis, but find that the results are sometimes disappointing ?
