rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\" style=\"color: #0074ff;\">with ChatGPT<\/a>, then you could be missing out.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you should be doing instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Make your prompts specific and give Claude context <\/p>\n<p>Unlike ChatGPT, Claude works best with specific prompts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to <a

#0074ff;\">Tom\u2019s Guide<\/a>, you should give the chatbot as much context as you can, and it\u2019ll even ask you for clarification if you don\u2019t provide enough information.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, when you want Claude to do something, tell it what you hope to achieve as well as the format you want it in \u2013 be as specific as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Set out some detailed constraints for the bot <\/p>\n<p>On a similar note, set some constraints for even stronger results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Much like being specific with your requests, adding in some guidelines and parameters is a great way to get a better response.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/supercarblondie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/medical-bill.webp\" style=\"color: #0074ff;\" data-lightbox=\"186314\" data-title=\"Anthropic\"

you\u2019d like to use, which format to present it, how many words you need, whether to add bullet point notes, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget to tell it who the audience is, so it can adjust how it writes the response.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For example, tell it whether the summary it is providing is going to be used to inform your boss with some knowledge of the topic, or if it is for a complete novice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Give the bot a professional role for smarter answers <\/p>\n<p>If you use Claude Skills, you can actually assign Claude a role to get even better results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, rather than asking a standard chatbot, you can tell Claude to respond as though it is a financial advisor, SEO expert, or other professional.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This should give you more polished responses that are a neater fit with whatever you\u2019ve asked.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/supercarblondie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/claude-2-1.webp\" style=\"color:

through the steps it took to generate a response, you\u2019ll often get a more accurate answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tell the bot to \u2018walk you through\u2019 or share some pros and cons before coming up

time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But instead of giving up and restarting again from scratch, fine-tune your prompts with Claude to get closer to what you\u2019re looking for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can tell it to make something shorter, adjust the tone to be more formal, or offer another version.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And one thing to avoid with Claude  <\/p>\n<p><a
