“Artificial intelligence and generative models may be the most important technology of any lifetime.” [watch video ] — Marc Benioff , chair, CEO, and co-founder, Salesforce
In 2025, Search Engines, Chatbots, Generative Models and its functions work at their highest with this Must-Learn global revolution, i.e.. AI.

One way, right here..
Prompt Writing ABCD: Master the art of AI conversation(2025)
A future Proof skill
A must learn for Beginners and the Experienced.
Stay Ahead, Stay Informed
What is Prompt Writing
Prompt Writing/ Engineering is its conversational language.
The basic ABCD of this model.
To explain in the simplest, Its the process of crafting effective instructions or queries for the machine systems to generate relevant meaningful responses.
The better & detailed be the inquisition, Accurate will be the response received.
The inputs you provide to these tools/models could be in the form of a sentence, question or even an instructional long paragraph.
The sky is the limit to how creative you can be.
An Example:
Being a marketing professional myself, narrating with examples comes naturally. Consider the two statements.
“Speak to me about Marketing.” – I see it as a vague question. Why? Cause Marketing is such a vast topic which comprises of unlimited theoretical knowledge and inspired practical solutions that can be experienced anywhere.
“Explain me Digital Marketing for beginners, with examples of social media strategies effective for small businesses.” : An Excellent Question asked. Here, the query is crystal clear and easily understood. The intent of the user is transparent.
Why Prompt accuracy matters
When you ask these frameworks a question or a query, it doesn’t cogitate like a human.
It analyses, contextualizes and delivers the best response utilizing its vast knowledge resource.
This shows:
A) That you’re dealing with a machine. Sophisticated it may be..
B) How much It relies on your input to convey the right output.
Indicating your thoughts accurately will ensure that you use its multiple tools efficently in creating content, brainstorming ideas, learning a new skill, or automating tasks.
All done in a matter of minutes.
Feels like magic.
Types of Prompts
How can you master this conversation with the framework without understanding its multiple types.
As the machines keep self learning and constantly upgrading, so will its instructions.
Here are the few of its types you can use to make the systems more productive and fully aligned with your/company goals:
1. Instructional Prompts
Instructs it to complete a task
Example : Write a 100 word introduction on the topic “Why AI is a must learn skill in 2025”
2. Exploratory Prompts
Instructs the automated models to explore its imagination.
Example: Give me 10 innovative ideas as to how Artificial Intelligence can offer help to blind students in their daily task completion.
3. Comparative Prompts
Instructs Comparisons to generate accurate results.
Example: Compare the Breakfast menu at ‘Pret’ with ‘Starbucks’ for business marketing.
4. Role-based Prompts
Instructs it to act as a Role Player/Guide.
Example: Act as a Grade 1 job recruiter and show me the best active profiles in my industry with location and salary details.
5. Step-by-step Prompts
Instructs it to offer end to end guidance in a task.
Example: Explain me the process of making the thinnest Masala Dosa at home.
These are just a few, there might be an unlimited many.
The fun in it is in its exploration.
Master the art of Prompt Writing
Now lets talk about this Hungry Bear that never stops eating 😁
Basically the top strategies/guidelines you can adopt for best results.
My experience tells me that these strategies work accurately for most industries.
1. Specific is Terrific
These high quality machines though very intuitive are dependent extremely on you.
Vague prompts lead to vague answers.
Example: Tell me about Indian History.
2. Define its Role
You are talking about a machine that aims to one day become completely self aware. (The Terminator of our generation)
Everyday it screams, I’ll be back…
For more.
Magic it may be, at least for now it requires you to define its role in simplicity.
Example: Act as an expert career coach & guide me through an SEO interview preparation.
3. Blueprint the Output Format
Instruct it to offer you a response, the way you want it.
Bullet points, a blog, a script, or an essay. Your choice.
Example: Summarize this article in a bullet point format or convert this article into a slide.
4. Contextualize it
Always make sure to give context to your request.
If you want the model/tool to write a marketing plan for you, make sure that you mention at least your niche, audience, and goals.
Example: Write me a 500-word SEO plan for starting a small café targeting local customers in Surbarban Mumbai
5. Iterate and Refine
In 2025, mastering this in demand skill carries the highest weightage, Globally.
But it also demands perfection which requires regular practice.
Constant Experimentation, refinement in the instruct, and testing different variations leads to achieving the results you want.
Practice makes Perfect.
Common Mistakes in Prompt Execution
Understanding the power of Artifical Intelligence and its immense vastness requires a constant trial, error, perfection and refinement.
Definitely not a overnight thing.
But to get that consistent perfection, certain mistakes need to be cleansed.
Prompts is how we conversate with these genuise machines and asking the right questions will give you the right answers.
Avoiding these pitfalls will effectively improve your system interactions.
1. Asking Broad Questions
A very common mistake, especially for today’s generation.
Unfortunately, conversation using tech today has become very vague.
Emoji’s, short codes, mudding up languages etc. might feel modern but doesn’t work here.
Clarity & Simplicity of the instructs is the only way forward.
Asking Broad questions will only lead to general answers. may or may not be accurate.
2. Query Overload
Curiosity kills the cat. Moderation is the key to better living.
Works everywhere.
These models are magic but too much too quickly will only corrupt the place.
It has answers to all your questions.
But asking too many questions will overload it.
Confusing it with too much at once will only lead to negative results.
3. Decide its Limits
Structure is how we bring order to the chaos.
Without deciding a word count or a format, responses received may be too long or unstructured.
Decide on its limits.
4. Repeat & Refine
Expecting perfect results on the first try is a myth.
Not even the most experienced among us, claim it.
Practice, Repeat, Get Better.
Avoiding these few common pitfalls can make your experience much smoother and the results more accurate.
