01 / The essentials
What makes a great prompt?
A prompt is what you type or share with ChatGPT to tell it what you need. You don’t need magic words — just enough direction.
Add useful context
Say who it’s for, what you already know and any relevant background or examples.
Specify the output
Ask for a checklist, table, steps, email, word limit or a particular tone.
A simple formula to remember
Task + Context + Audience + Format + Constraints
Use the parts that actually matter — not every prompt needs all five.02 / Real examples

Too little detail about purpose, reader or tone.
After

Privacy & terms
Your privacy matters

1. About this website
Promptwise is an independent educational website that teaches the basics of writing prompts for ChatGPT. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by OpenAI.
2. Information collection and local processing
This standalone website does not require accounts, collect names or email addresses, use analytics, set tracking cookies or transmit prompts to a website server. The interactive prompt builder operates entirely in your browser; its text fields are not uploaded, stored in browser storage or retained by this page after you close or reload it.
3. External links and ChatGPT
If you visit an external website, including ChatGPT or OpenAI documentation, that provider's own privacy policy and terms apply. Copying a prompt here does not submit it to ChatGPT automatically. If you choose to paste it into ChatGPT, OpenAI processes the information under its own policies and settings.
4. Safe use of AI
Do not enter passwords, sensitive personal data, confidential company information or financial account details into prompts unless you understand the service's data-handling practices and have permission to share the information. AI-generated answers can be inaccurate and should be checked before important decisions.
5. ChatGPT data controls
OpenAI provides options in ChatGPT Settings → Data controls, including a setting for whether new conversations may be used to improve its models. Temporary Chat has different history, memory and retention behavior. Consult the current official ChatGPT data controls guide for details and changes.
