Grok 3 AI Prompting Hacks

Want better answers from ChatGPT (or any LLM)? Use this simple prompt formula from @toolandtea’s visual guide: Acting as [Role], perform [Task] in [Format].

Why this works

• Gives structure so AI knows exactly what hat to wear.
• Adds constraints that produce more useful, specific outputs.
• Forces clarity—you think before you type.
• Saves time by getting the right answer on the first try.

Real-world examples

• Acting as a CFO, perform a budget forecast in spreadsheet format.
• Acting as a copywriter, write a sales email in Markdown.
• Acting as a fitness coach, create a 4-week workout plan in table format.
• Acting as a language expert, translate this paragraph into Spanish using plain text.

One tiny formula, endless creative output.
