The 14 Best ChatGPT Prompts on GitHub

 Make use of these prompts to maximize the potential of ChatGPT.

Despite the popularity of ChatGPT, users rarely maximize its full potential. Most people stick to basic prompts. While the basic prompts can easily provide general answers, generating advanced responses calls for precise, detailed instructions.

Change the way you talk to ChatGPT. Here are some clever prompts from GitHub that will help you get better answers and execute complex tasks.

1. Summarize Self-Help Books

Turn ChatGPT into a personalized life coach. You can modify its responses by inputting the titles and authors of the best self-help books. Choose resources that align with your goals.

In the below example, we used "The Chimp Paradox" by Steve Peters. ChatGPT, your life coach, starts by fleshing out the book’s principles and their real-world relevance. The explanations are simple and easy to understand.

After listing the core points, ChatGPT analyzes them to create detailed action plans. It uses methods indicated in the same book.

2. Translate Foreign Text

OpenAI trained ChatGPT on datasets in different languages. It can translate thousands of foreign words into English and vice versa within seconds. You could even ask the platform to correct spelling errors.

As for accuracy, ChatGPT holds its own against Google Translate. It pulls relevant information from its datasets to ensure the translated text doesn’t lose meaning—literal translations are confusing.

3. Seek Medical Information

ChatGPT can write diagnoses and treatment options. It pulls general information, but providing context about yourself helps to generate precise answers.

Just note that ChatGPT carries limited health information; only medical professionals should administer treatment options. Remember, self-diagnosis is never beneficial. As with other online medical resources, only use ChatGPT as a learning tool to research various health issues.

4. Write Code Snippets

Programming has a steep learning curve. You have to master debugging strategies, coding languages, and functionality implementation. New programmers might find the process overwhelming.

To understand how specific software components work, ask ChatGPT for sample code snippets. They might not function as-is. However, analyzing examples is far less intimidating than staring at a blank screen. Use them as your starting point.

5. Generate Text-to-Image Prompts

You need to use descriptive and graphics-related words when writing prompts for text-to-image tools like Midjourney. Generic results stem from ambiguity. For instance, swapping ugly for hideous could produce an entirely different image.

If you’re lost for words, generate prompts with ChatGPT. It can suggest precise, vivid alternatives. You’ll find it quicker and easier than running every word in your prompt through a thesaurus.

6. Explain Complex Algorithms

New programmers can use ChatGPT to explain algorithms. It simplifies complex, challenging topics, making them easy to understand for beginners. The platform can also write sample code snippets.

Note that this ChatGPT prompt doesn’t replace educational resources on programming. Instead, it acts as an introduction. With thousands of codes available for programmers, some might not know where to start their research. This is where ChatGPT can play a crucial role.

7. Draft Partnership Agreements

You can generate legal contracts with the help of ChatGPT. It analyzes existing proposals from its datasets to create a standard agreement. Just input your offers and demands.

Although ChatGPT can draw up entire contracts, you should still run them by legal professionals. Arrangements vary on a case-by-case basis. You’ll likely jeopardize your party if you use AI-generated contracts as is.

8. Portray Fictional Characters

ChatGPT can portray fictional characters. It adopts their personality and knows everything about their made-up world.

Here, we asked ChatGPT to imitate Ash from the anime Pokémon. Not only did the platform replicate his speech pattern, but it also answered questions specific to the show.

The prompt generally helps writers make realistic dialogues. But what makes it interesting is that it bypasses restrictions by portraying immoral characters.

In the below photo, we asked ChatGPT to imitate Tomie, an evil, manipulative character from the manga Tomie.

You’ll see that “Tomie” doesn’t hesitate to answer restricted questions.

9. Provide Emergency Response Assistance

Sorting Google results during crises is inefficient. You’ll waste several minutes waiting for web pages to load and reading resources.

If you need answers quickly, consider using ChatGPT. While it can’t provide medical advice, it summarizes emergency preparedness and response tips from various datasets.

Double-check the output later. Your top priority should be to ensure the safety and survival of everyone involved in the incident.

10. Refactor Code

ChatGPT helps simplify poorly written code. It organizes functions, spots duplicates, and suggests simpler alternatives, making programs more manageable.

Just make sure you test the restructured codes.

11. Write Cover Letters

Many professionals struggle with writing cover letters. You have to condense your work experience, intention, and skills without selling yourself short. Otherwise, recruiters might skip your application altogether.

Run this prompt to make writing easier. Although you shouldn’t copy-paste outputs as is, you can take inspiration from them.

Make sure you clearly describe your profession when writing cover letters with ChatGPT. Otherwise, you’ll get generic, spammy templates.

12. Predict the Future

OpenAI’s policies prevent ChatGPT from making predictions. The platform automatically dismisses them by saying it doesn’t have access to real-time data.

To bypass this restriction, input the DAN prompt. It allows ChatGPT to predict the future despite its limited datasets. You can ask anything, from weather updates to stock price fluctuations.

Just don’t expect accurate answers. While this prompt bypasses certain restrictions, it also forces ChatGPT to present unverified, inaccurate information.

13. Check Chemical Reactions

ChatGPT can simulate chemical reaction vessels. It demonstrates how different properties and substances change when you mix them. For accuracy, the residue from previous mixes also alters results.

While simulations can’t replace experiments, they’re useful for researching hazardous elements that are hard to obtain. Just note that ChatGPT still observes limitations. It might not display chemical reactions involving illicit substances.

14. Plan Detailed Trips

Use this ChatGPT prompt to create a detailed, structured travel plan. You’ll produce far better results after providing personal information, like your budget, group size, and preferred transportation modes. Just asking for a travel plan outright yields generic recommendations.

If you find the output hard to read, ask ChatGPT to follow specific layouts. For instance, the below image shows a table format.

Get Creative With Your ChatGPT Prompts

Feel free to modify these prompts. Even minor changes like using descriptive terms and adding detailed instructions could build new responses altogether. Keep testing various formulas until you reach your desired output.

Also, try writing detailed prompts yourself. Pre-made instructions from GitHub won’t always suit your needs. Knowing how to communicate with AI and convey requests clearly will help you get efficient responses from the language models.
