Still writing ‘help me with X’ prompts? You’re leaving 90% of AI’s power on the table. Then wondering why the output sounds like a Wikipedia entry written by a robot. After helping countless job… | Andrei Kurtuy 🚀

Most people are prompting GPT-5 like GPT-4 and getting average answers.

LLMs are as good as the prompt that goes in them.

In GPT4 you could type 1 vague line and get something meaningful.
GPT-5 rewards structure more than vagueness.

Here’s what a GPT-5 prompt should look like👇

1. Role / Persona (Optional, but powerful): Tell it who it should act as.

2. Context / Background: Give it the situation, goals, or constraints.

3. Task / Objective: Clearly say what you want it to do.

4. Output Format: Define exactly how you want the answer.

5. Constraints & Style: Tell it any limits or preferences. Word count, tone, depth, examples, audience.

6. Iteration Instruction (Optional): Guide it on how to refine.

Bad Prompt:

“Hey GPT, I need help with Shopify. How do I fix inventory stuff?”

Why this is bad:

No role/persona → It doesn’t know whether to answer as a dev, a business coach, or a beginner tutor.
No context → It doesn’t know if you’re syncing inventory across marketplaces, just one store, or manually updating stock.
Vague task → “fix inventory stuff” could mean schema design, webhook setup, or troubleshooting.
No output format → It might give you an essay when you wanted JSON.
No constraints → Could lead to over-explaining or missing important details.
No iteration → No clear next step for refining the answer.

Good Prompt:

“You are a YouTube content strategist who specializes in faceless channels in the tech & AI niche.
Context: I run a faceless YouTube channel called Cashflow Bot. It’s about AI tools, automation, and money-making hacks for beginners who want to build side hustles
Task: Suggest 10 YouTube video ideas that have high search demand but low-to-medium competition. Focus on trending AI tools and automation workflows.
Output: Return as a table with columns: Video Title Idea, Why It Works, Suggested Hook/Opening Line.
Constraints: Ideas should be beginner-friendly, under 10 minutes per video, and suitable for a faceless channel (voiceover + stock footage/screenshare).
Iteration: Give me 10 ideas first. Then I’ll ask you to expand on 2 of them into full scripts.”
